Being a manager for the past two years on the Auburn University basketball team has come with a lot of perks for Dothan’s Harrison Holland, but it’s also involved tireless
“During the week my tasks range from going and getting the coaches’ lunch to all the way to jumping in at practice sometimes,” Holland said. “I mean, I’ve always told Dad I really have no job description – whatever I’m asked, I do.”
People are also reading… “Saturday we played at 1, so I got there at 6:45 a.m.” Holland said of last week’s game. “Our team had film and shoot around at 7:30, so I have to get there to help set up shoot around and film. Auburn has always been a big part of Holland’s life. While growing up, he spent many days on the Plains attending football and basketball games with his father.
“The rules during COVID if you were a manager, you had to live by yourself, get COVID tested like four times a week and I had already signed leases with some of my friends and couldn’t get out of that. It just wasn’t going to work out.”“It was a resume thing, then an essay thing and then I had a sit-down interview and then a phone interview … so it was about a two-month process before they hired me,” Holland said.
“When I say I’m scouting, I do mostly personnel clips. So I’ll go in and watch all of Arkansas’ games and I’ll go clip Nick Smith’s highlights and get them ready to show the team and I’ll fill out a scouting report for all of the players. “The main part is I’m cutting it into possession-wise. That way after the game, Bruce Pearl can get on his computer and click on Auburn and watch all of our offensive possessions. Or he can click on Alabama and watch all of our defensive possessions from the game.When not doing film work, Holland has other responsibilities during the course of a game.
