Anonymous... I just wanted to know. No need to be offensive.

Sheesh, I dont believe it!
66 reads and the only answer I get is from some wally who doesn't know the difference between "their" and "there", then proceeds to berate me.
I suspect that "Court Development" is just a made up term designed to help fill up a page and nobody out there can give me an answer because there isn't one.

Lions Parent please call me I would be happy to talk to you and give you all the answers you need

Glenn,

Thanks but no thanks, I really only wanted to know if anybody else in the world understood the phrase.

I agree with anon. Lion parent, your club needs everybody all hands on deck to help the club. What have you done recently to help the club. Are part of the problem or solution?

Lions Parent,

A job title is simply that. Just a title. No one on this forum can tell you what it means unless they are involved with the Centrals Basketball Club or have asked themselves. Having a look around clubs you'll find Junior Coaching Directors, Junior Development Officers, a Junior Program Manager and a Junior Manager. What any of these titles mean is up to each individual club. A Junior Development Officer a one club may have a very different role to a Development Officer at another.

The point that the posters have been trying to make is that if you want to know then contact your club. If your too scared or simply can't be bothered then why are you there?

I am guessing that nobody is touching this thread with their own thoughts because you have obvious issues with centrals and on court development covers a wide range of things.From coaching the coaches to teaching the kids drills and skills that can be implemented into games, making sure they understand the why's and wherefore's of these.Also can cover the different terminology for different things that are an action or reaction on court.Its also about committment and attitude (finding the coachable athlete that responds to any form of coaching.Having said all that it is very much open to the interpretation of each person trying to implement ON COURT DEVELOPMENT. Not rocket science,but some times progress can appear slow because you have to go right back to the basics as a starting point

Hmmm, the simple solution to this thread is to read the only two relevant posts, (#2632) and (#29652).

Lion Parent, you asked an appropriate question, and probably one of the best people in the Centrals organisation offered you an answer by contacting him. It's up to you to determine if you want that answer or not.

I can't imaging Glenn going around to every person linked to Centrals and asking if they are Lion Parent as he can provide an answer.

Anonnymous. #29814. Yes the question was fair and legitimate. BUT, I think you need to read all the posts by Lion PArent to put the responses he/she has got in perspective. It has been made obvious that:
1. They have issues with Centrals and want to annonymously discuss the details of the issues on this forum. The issues really arent the business of a public forum that the entire basketball community read.
2. They have no intention on trying to approach the club directly to discuss the issues and help solve them.
3. THey are one of these people that come up with great ideas that sound good in theory and go around telling everyone they can have ideas and COULD do it better but never actually put their hand up. What they dont realise are that the club probably has similar plans / ideas to them but in practice these ideas are sometimes more difficult to achieve. Perhaps it would be easier to achieve if Lion Parent got involved, raised the issues directly with the club and helped out in some way.

This has all gotten way out of hand. I just wanted a simple answer to a simple question. My reasons for wanting to know about "court development" was to evaluate the fairness of Glenn Shaws contract with Centrals. I was hoping to determine if I personally thought he was being asked to do too much in the time allocated. I dont want to go and ask Glenn what he does with his time, thats his business. My business is to determine if my kids have a secure future at Centrals.

I would think your kids definately have a future at Centrals.

With people like Glenn starting to get around the Club then your kids will be looked after and developed.

some of you people are way too angry with the world... chill out a bit! This is a DISCUSSION forum, so how about DISCUSSING and not berating.
