Never liked the way we played out that game in the first instance. It was un-Aussie like!
I have the utmost respect for all of our national and international coaches, I appreciate the work they put in, the effort and direction they want basketball to go in this country.
Our green and gold pathways are filled with an ethos of hard work, fitness, defensive accountability, team work, superior effort and desire to the point of an expectation second to none in the world of hoops.
So, let us never see this type of manipulation (sorry, attempt at manipulating) a tournament result again!
Let us never again fear any opponent on the court and take it on the chin, win or lose, knowing at least we have given it our very best shot and left it all on the court.
Just like it is expected of all our juniors coming through the green and gold pathway...
Time to lead by example and never allow the Boomers to think they are not good enough, against anyone!
