NBA Coaches Clinic The National Basketball Association (NBA), as part of their ongoing commitment of growing the game of basketball in the UK, are teaming up with the Basketball Coaches Association (BCA), England Basketball (EB) and London Basketball (LB), for three coaching seminars in 2009. The second of these clinics will be taking place at The O2 Arena with special guest Mike Wilhelm, Assistant Coach for the Chicago Bulls. This is yet another fantastic opportunity for coaches across the capital and the UK to learn and support their own coaching development in an event supported by the newly-titled London Basketball Coaches Association (previously known as London Basketball Coaches Committee). This Coaches Evening again provides a unique, free opportunity to meet international coaches, observe their coaching techniques, listen and ask questions as they discuss their favourite drills. Read the full article HERE HBBA/HPL Committee Dear Clubs and Officials, Unfortunately, due to work and personal commitments, I have found that I no longer have the necessary time available to remain on the Hertfordshire Basketball Committee and therefore, I have decided to step down from my position as Chairman with immediate effect. I thank all members of the committee, past and present, for their help over the past few years and I wish them good luck for the future. The future of Basketball in Hertfordshire does have bright prospects; however I would like to take the opportunity to point out that the majority of HPL clubs have done very little over the past few years to help with the development of the game. For the county to prosper as it should, the senior clubs MUST do more to help the committee move the game forward. I will remain involved where possible with Michaelians, so I hope to see most of you at some stage. All the best for the upcoming season, and please give the committee all the help you can.
