Nash in the house... :wow:

Nash is nothing but a figurehead. He doesn't do shyt except for showing his face so players would come and play for the national team. But since he can't even get some of his guys to bypass fukkin summer league aka glorified ymca ball, there is no real use for him.

Rowan Barrett is the one that's doing all of his work anyways.

He got benched in a game for like a quarter against Venezuela I think.

For fukking Aaron Doornekamp. There are other issues too with Dave Smart having too much influence (see Scrubbs).

The people across our Canadian basketball community have a problem with lack of results on the world stage and head to head against America. More importantly they are fed up with the relationships aspect. To sum it up best Ro Russell is more of a trusted man in Toronto then Rowan Barrett is. That's how much Barrett has dropped the ball at the helm of Canada Basketball especially in the last 18 months.

Rowan Barrett's son is RJ Barrett, the number one ranked 2000 born prospect in North America by ESPN. If you look at the timeline since RJ entered high school it is then when the suspect trends started.

I have tremendous respect for Rowan Barrett Sr as both person and parent. Also let me reiterate how RJ now a main fixture in the national program has earned e-v-e-r-y-t-h-I-n-g. However many outsiders feel the youth national programs are being too tailored for Rowan Jr.

Many prospects at his position have expressed the same frustration with being limited of opportunity. Along the way some are screaming conflict of interest. After digging deeper they have some grounds, and if not addressed a possible rebellion among Cadet and Junior players next summer is a strong possibility.

After 17 years of involvement with Canada Basketball maybe it's best for everyone if Rowan Barrett Sr resigned. It would eliminate the recent 'conflict of interest' saga and remove an unnecessary cloud over son RJ. Most important—allow Canada Basketball to restore the trust of the Canadian basketball community.

Time For Change In Canada Basketball

A lot of it is accurate.

:what: what? Leo was replaced by Triano in 2012. Atho, ex Jays GM, is with the LA dodgers.

the coach doesnt have to be cdn, THROW money at a decent coach

canada went from having jack donohue a non cdn to fakkits like triano and rautins

how disgusting it is that the mens and womens side in basketball and soccer are at least decent. While the mens side is atrocious

I've never understood this love affair Canada Basketball has with Jay Triano :scust:


All it would take is a decent NBA head coach and youd never have problems with players not being there...As long as you continue to have bums like Triano,Rautins and Walter Gretzky coaching the team youll never get the full group together and always have bum excuses...
