Razorbacks Training Notes






With COVID effecting the delay of the NCAA season and fans most likely unable to attend games, programs are looking to engage with fans in a way that helps us coaches. With many programs returning tot he first official day of team practice, many opened the doors to cameras and live streaming of sessions. 

These are my notes from the Arkansas Razorbacks session, link below to watch.

While much was the focus was on sets and offence a few things stood out from this session compared to many ''club'' team sessions I see. 

  • There seemed to be an order of scrimmage then shooting, scrimmage then shooting. Focus on catch & shoot from the Wing 2s and 3s along with Corner 3s.
  • Assistant Coaches always active, rebounding, talking, getting players to drills
  • No Walking, Not at all. 
  • Injured players working two ball dribbling drills on the sidelines
  • Scrimmage, and there was a lot of 5v5. It was a short game, pause. Group up in teams (Red v White) discuss and then back out again in short bursts. 


Drills & Sets 

3 v 3 Full Court Celtic Defense

  • Focus on contain the ball first, hedging towards the ball
  • DHO Defense, switch underneath
  • Double Team, rotate out. 


Full Court Shooting - this was a big feature between scrimmages. 

On Ball Coverage - more detail in Training Drill PDF Download, but this was a shell drill with the post player making a on ball from the wing. The Razorbacks are doubling the ball till after the first pass and then the post player is chasing back on defense with the roller. Key is the wings sink in to help protect the basket.

Continuity Offence 
Interesting to see them run this set continuously for 30+ passes in a row, counting out load! 
Notes of the set are in the PDF document

Wing & Corner 3s - First team to make 5 wins

Full Court Transition - starts 2 v1, 3 v2, 5 v 4 and then 5 v 5 and then resets.

Scrimmage - with assist coaches coaching teams and head coach working between groups, short sharp full court games, stopping like a timeout quick changes and then back in again.
