Torrens Valley U16 D2

well torrens valley won u16 div 2 boys on friday.

under a scheme posted earlier the div 2 Summer premier would hae been promoted to div 1 for that Winter.

But the paranoid said eagles, norwood, sturt etc would only benefit from that.

well look at that Torrens valley would have made div 1 under a pro rel system.

think about it -

well done al - your team played very attacking basketball.

torrens valley shouldn't even be in the comp. Get rid of the club all together.

They only win because Al Green pressurises the refs into calling everything for his team. They got away with A LOT of hacking and reaching in fouls on friday. If they were put in div 1, they would struggle adapting to refs that call fouls on cheap defence + teams that know how to break basic zones. They also wouldnt be as big as div 1 sides.

There appears to be a lot of people with a lot to say about Al Green and the teams victory in the summer competion. I am here to say that my son plays in Al Greens team, the team are a close knit bonded group of boys who follow any instruction coming from a man who has records held that none of the people critisising will ever hold in their lifetimes. He is a gentleman, respected by all who come into contact with him. His team has the right to be elevated to Div1 and all those who bag him need to understand that all of the div 2 teams in the comp are going to be disadvantaged by playing such a formidable team. It will not only affect us at Torrens Valley who think it is extremely unfair and are very disappointed. What does a club need to do to show how strong they are. If you all think you are all so high and mighty I throw down the challenge to complain to BSA so that we can be accepted into the Div 1 comp. To those saying that we dont belong or could not beat the bottom team, all I can say is that as sportsmen you have no idea about fair play, and being scared of us entering div 1 is not a reason to bag the Torrens Valley basketball Club. Pull your head in.
To those with the congrats I sincerely thank you for recognising such a strong team and a great coach

In follow up, I also want to say, if you you want to post anonymous rubbish its time to stand up and put your name to your article if you truly believe the lies you are saying.
As far as the critisism of the umpiring Al Green does no more complaining than anybody else, in fact I believe he does a lot less than most because of his history and reputation of excellence in the game.

Des Taylor......yet again!

A few laughable parts of your posts.

How's this for starters - "respected by all who come into contact with him." All? This is simply not true...ask around.

Secondly - "being scared of us entering div 1". Trust us Des, nobody is scared. Hilarious.

And yes, I will choose to remain anonymous, as is my right.

If they won div.2 they deserve to be put up to div.1, it's logic!!! Al Green was a great player and i'm sure he is a great coach too!

Why dont you stay on the subject of Torrens Valley being put up to DIV 1 instead of personal attacks which have absolutely nothing to do with basketball.

Georgie, I am glad to see that amongst the baggers on this site that there is someone with common sense.
Well done!
