AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Official Auburn basketball practice won't start for a while. I know that the Players can work with Strength and conditioning coach and can work out on their own. How much interactions can they have with the coaching staff? Can coaching staff provide them lists of strengths and weaknesses, what types of drills they should be working on? Can Coaches work with them directly?

aujeff11 6,243 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I would think basketball players are often at the REC playing pickup games and developing team chemistry or they are doing team workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Play soccer. Naismith invented basketball so his soccer players would stay in shape during snowy winters in Canada. The reverse MUST be true...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,050 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 When I was there you would find about 2 players playing in the ACT every now and then but most time the best players on campus would play late at night in the hot box. Break away rims and no authority to kick you out. Also would meet up with guys who played for Tuskegee and Alabama st. As far as doing things in the off season I felt like swimming was the best activity I did that kept me in shape. I wasn't a D1 player though but I feel like I was pretty good and I played a big role on two of my younger cousins playing D1 ball but I would say the most important thing is being in shape to run around and not get tired. Playing the position of guard I'd say strength is good to have but you can still be a very good player and not be the strongest guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the NBA draft, Kevin Durant couldn't bench press 185 and a lot of the media declared him a bust then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
