I'd like to thank my beautiful wife for being so pregnant that I can't travel to Adelaide this weekend to a) see the Showdown which I have tickets for or b) to see the ABL Final.

Twins Moses?

Thanks to Isaac and the moderators for the site - gives me a basketball outlet during the day whilst sitting at my desk.

Thanks to DC for the much loved "Whats Hot/Whats Not"

And finally thanks to all those that have disagreed with my comments - healthy debate allows me to form refined opinions.

Thanks to Allan and Jamie for their hospitality at Starplex in June. Thanks to the coaches and stats people who've forwarded boxscores (specifically Billy Hopkins and Peter Hodgkison). To everyone who posts positive opinions or constructive criticism. To everyone who has nicely requested removal of a post without mentioning their lawyers. To DC for creating the popular Hot/Not list, and his array of amusingly named sidekicks for supporting him. To the ticket woman at Pasadena for ABL games. To DJ for the steaks, Darren for the shoes, and Joey Jeremiah - because Voula just isn't cool enough...

I to would like to thank all my fellow game night volunteers, because with out them, there would be no scoring, no stats..no game set up, no door person, no canteen, no bar (at those venues that have one)...etc.

Also to all other club volunteers who maybe dont work at an ABL game, but wprk at juniors, or the other div seniors games, those who work behind the scenes at clubs, those who serve on committee's etc.

I would like to also send a personal thanks to Pat, who has been my partner in crime in stats for Woodville for the last 2 seasons, who is giving away the stats. Also a big thankyou to the ABL/WNBL/NBL stats people who have giv en me all the encouragement and help I have needed.

Thank you to you all, but the biggest thanks to our refs, who get abused on here constantly (sometimes even by me)....thanks for a great job guys and girls!

And thanks to Lyn for starting this thread :)

Well remembered and I agree!

twins Moses you can call them power & crows

I would like to thank all the parents that shuffle their numerous children to numerous basketball games and trainings every week.

Without willing parents, there would not be a junior competition.

I'd like to thank Isaac for all the time he puts into this, Leonie at Pasadena stadium, and everybody he was there for me when I was sick last yr! Cheers!

Thanks to all the refs that enable us to play this great game.

Thanks to Magic, MJ and Larry for the memories.

Coaches that give their time freely.

Phil and Steve for making the 6ers great again. Brett.

The State government for forgiving BASA the debt on the Powerhouse (we can live in hope).

Thank you for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Billy Conolly.

Isaac for giving us this magnificent web site.

I just want to hug someone....(sob!)

I'd like to thank Moses for offering to give me his showdown tickets, I can not thank him enough for his generosity..hint hint.

Big thank you must go out to all the team managers who put in there time. To all the coaches who spend there time coaching and putting up with parent's complaints through out the season. To all the committee's who put countless hours in to each club.

I think a HUGE thank you should go out to Colin Thompson which organises the whole district comp with no help.

And to all the ref's who get abused on this site and at stadiums. With out you guys, the game would never start.

Parent's who run around to training and games and are forever opening there wallet's every time they walk into a basketball stadium. Thank you for keeping the sport a float.

Id like to thank myself, just becuase i do. oh and all the people that keep this site up and running - keep up the good work.

Just to reiterate what has already been said, I'd like to thank the following

Isaac and his team of moderators
All umpires and coaches for their time and knowledge
The other, less glorified, officials and parents
The players, hoops posters and the fans for keeping this forum so entertaining

Sorry Panther. No Showdown tickets for you. I asked Kelly and he said you should be at the ABL final to see what winning teams look like. ;-)
