And we believe it is better to have critics and people who care than not to have interest at all. Joe Newman 6/30/05
I never said the ABA had the greatest numbers regarding retention of teams. OldSchoolBaller (neither did we)

We are now making some adjustments to our schedule - Joe Newman 10/9/08 in perpetuity
Hmm, another release stating the season begins in December. I think thats the third or fourth time I've seen that. I wonder if they'll still play a 36 game schedule or 30 games (that was stated in a previous release)
Is this the work of Q? Is he getting some say, and making changes? Lets see how long it can last... I hope it does last because he seems like a good guy that could help out, IF he is given a good amount of power, but we all know Joe pretty well...

If Knott is a graduate of Indiana University in business administration and accounting and he has an MBA......................and he has picked up leadership and street smarts in the Army.
Then, either......................
The ABA is on the right track and attracting the right kinds of owners.
or
The quality of MBA's and Captains don't include the ability to not get hoodwinked.
This guy Knott should have said, "Joe lets delay the announcement two weeks until I can get a graphic designer to put together a logo and allow me time to get a website set up" at the very least.

"If games are missed, it hurts no one" ...... ABA CEO Joe Newman 2/9/09
Due to numerous threats of legal action from certain people.......all of the above is my opinion only and it should be noted that I have never invested in the ABA. It is simply one mans opinion.

He's been far enough away, long enough to not know about the ABA?From the press release wrote:From 2000-2007, Coach Walker played for the Newcastle Eagles (British Basketball League),5-time All Star, won 3 consecutive championships in 05, 06, 07 and four other national cup and trophy championships during this period. From 2003-2007, he was a player assistant coach. In 2007-2008 he coached the Big Storage Cheshire Jets, and also played, leading the team to the Cup & Trophy semi-finals.
