I am not sure why people are thinking I am the doc or anyone else you think, I am a person that has worked some pro basketball camps over the years , and has helped start a lot of leagues. I love this game and I love seeing if these leagues can make it. The Doc has worked hard over the years, and so...

I wish I was the doc. I am poor poor soul who likes basketball. I have met the doc, and I think hes a fine person. But if you check my post from years ago, I was supportive of things I liked about the PBL, and critical of things I did not like. But I try and do it in a constructive way. What we need...

Ken steelheads fan, why would a rich, wealthy, successful man of your stature, Worry about the price of anything? Everyone knows you have plenty of money. In fact, maybe you should consider owning your own team. Or maybe you could make an offer to purchase the Gary Spash? With all of the market stud...

jeffkuntz , let me educate you again. Since you seem to never want to stop this silly critique of the merger. I have heard from the likes of you about the demise of the PBL since its 1st year, and every year the league has come back. So your uniformed suggestion, does not hold up against history. Pe...

Man Ken steelheads fan, i am not understanding you, but then again we have been bantering for 10 years on these boards, so i guess it is nothing knew. It seems some people like to declare themselves experts about what is professional and what is not professional. I am not sure who died and left you ...

ken steelheads fan, what constitutes a professional league. Is it venue? Is it how much players are paid? Is it how much tickets cost? I think it is all a matter of perception. i guess my little church i attend on Sundays is not a real church because its not as big as Joel Osteens Chuch in Houston. ...

let me ask you a simple question. Do you really think there are a load of professional players, since you are so hung up on words and labels, sitting around waiting to play doing nothing at home, and waiting for that big 300 dollars a week check from some team? It blows my mind to think that a playe...

one thing I know, is these boards are full of so called experts, and jeffjuntz, you are wrong. The fact is many of the players on all the rosters of all these teams get jobs overseas, so I am not sure how that makes this a rec league. In addition from a comparable standpoint, the d league is paid pe...

Radio station KDLHX, what a person with great insight, and the proper spirit. Thats what is needed, not this fingerpointing blame game. Barry Bradford of the IBA is a young man of high integrity, and sound judgement, and plenty of basketball experience from a players perspective, coaches perspective...

teams leave leagues for all types of reasons. If you know any history of minorleague hoops, you would know the history of the CBA, the USBL, the original IBA, the IBL. All of these current or former reputable leagues have teams come and go for all types of reasons. So does that make all of the peopl...
