Watch: Neal Brown Shows Off Basketball Skills During Break at Practice

Even in the midst of practice, it’s important for WVU head coach Neal Brown to take some time to have a little fun. And on Wednesday, Brown had some fun by showing his players he has some athleticism too.

The WVU football X (Twitter) account posted a video of Brown sinking a shot on a basketball hoop inside the practice facility. It wasn’t Brown’s first attempt, and it sounds as if he missed at least once before connecting, but the players did cheer loudly after they watched the ball go through the net.

Once he saw the shot go down, Brown held his hand up to pose and then turned his hat backwards to complete his celebration.

In addition to this break for fun, Brown had his team working on drills all day during the first practice with media in attendance.
