Hubie Brown Practice Blocks

I took these notes about practice blocks from a video with two time NBA  coach of the year and a current television analyst Hubie Brown.  Sidenote: The NBA Coach of the Year awards came 26 years a part.

Practice Lengths – to save legs for end of the year tournaments practices are shortened at pre-determined dates.

• November and December → 2 hours
• January –> 1.5 hours
• February → 1 hour
