SEABL reticence restores faith in clubs
LOOKS as if Basketball Australia needs to find more ways to leverage the SEABL after Sunday’s special meeting to snaffle the nation’s longest-running interstate competition had to be moved again.

The more things change ...
THERE’s nothing like settling down for a catch-up morning cup of coffee with an old friend and having it interrupted by a somewhat irate text message.
