This was pruned at the request of coaches. Try to not name and criticise people under 18.

(Mod: By all means congratulate our AIS attendees, but no need to bag them. Cheers.)

didnt really think it was baggin, thought it was criticism as many others have been criticised on here for various reasons,,,,whats the difference, truth hurts!

Reply #12127 | Report this post


No docfan,

The problem is that Abby is a minor. And as such deserves the opportunity to develop as a player without the unnecessary slagging that sometimes goes on on this site.

Right now the only people she needs to listen too, to develop as a player are her Club coaches, ITC coach and Phil Brown. If she does a good job of that and comes back to SA to play in the future as an adault then you will be able to cut her down and show that yuo suffer from small poppy syndrome then when she can hopefully better handle it, and it should have less of an effect on her development.

Hey Everyone,
If you want to see a thread where under 18s have been named and bagged without Isaac or other moderators jumping in and editing/removing negative, and critical, and sometimes ridiculous messages from threads, go and check out the Women's Section, "Scaglia to the AIS" thread. There's a number of messages there that name names and say unnecessary (and untrue) things about other under 18 individuals and somehow these messages are allowed to stay on the thread without any moderator intervention.
So how come these moderator "editorial rules" are applied to some kids but not others?
What excuse do the moderators have for allowing this kind of abuse to continue for so long? Ok for a day or a week, (I realise the moderators are volunteers) but what's gone wrong with the system when names get named and false and negative comments get posted by people who claim to be in the know and these messages seem to survive longer than the compost of which they are composed?

Have you emailed me to draw my attention to it? I don't get the chance to read every post.

Someone emailed me regarding this thread and so I addressed the problem. No one's emailed me about this other thread which you've mentioned (though I have deleted/edited a lot of posts from that thread).

If you have a problem with any posts, please email me and list the topic and post ID (e.g., #12316). The posts are for the most part very positive.

abby, a strong and committed girl. all it takes is dreams, positive attitude and ambition. any one who has these qualities in life deserves to be where they are. no body is perfect, just rember that we were born with two ears and one mouth, so listen before you speak.

congradulations Abby, may your ambitions take you all the way to the top.
with ya all the way!!

I was lucky enough to have the honour to coach on some occasions, but mainly to watch in awe!
Please name a perfect player..... 17 years old, over 6 foot tall, pretty, talented etc. etc. Come down to Laura or Port Pirie & hear the respect Abby has, some of the people writing on here have known her for all of a year or two.....
Abby spent the 2004 season travelling to Port Pirie to honour her final year for the Agnes Basketball Club, qualified for the finals series & helped dominate the Grand Final to lift her home club over the line for a memorable a Women Grand-Final victory, for the first time in 15 years, as well as being the youngest team in history to do it.
You GO GIRL & thanks for the memories, you are on our WALL OF FAME for life, no matter what you succeed in!

Also on BA website are scores from games between Gems & Japan All Stars played in Canberra.

Game 1 -
Abby Bishop 13 pts (5/8 FG's), 9 rebounds & 2 assists in 13:52

Game 2 -
Abby Bishop 8 pts (4/12 FG's), 9 rebounds & a steal in 18:46

3rd High Scorer & 2nd rebounder in both games off the bench. Another SA Player doing well on the National Stage.

Will she play here for the "FELLAS" when she finishes at AIS, or head O/S?

I had the pleasure of meetng the girl and spending time with her and her mother for a week, to truelly see what this girl is made of, you can only dream the dreams she has and WILL realise. come on you gutless anonymous critics! you should show as much courage as this young lady has and will continue to do. I guess failing yourselves, you would have to find fault in anyone who can achieve. Denis degrussa.
