Player's Blog --- VERY IMPORTANT

The best thing you can do for your parents and players is take a few minutes and e-mail all of them the link for our players blog http://basketballnationals.blogspot.com

Currently almost of 50% of the player’s e-mail addresses for this years Nationals are not getting through. That means that 50% of your players and families are not getting to the blog, and that means they are going to miss important information.

Imagine the disturbing scene painted below:

A hysterical mama comes screaming at the Nationals’ staff because their little Johnny (who turned 19 in December) missed out on something. Our staff says calmly (of course), “I’m sorry but this year we posted all the information on the National’s blog.” Their shocked reply is, “What blog?” and the staff member replies, “The one we begged Johnny’s coach to tell you about.” Now by time she finds you she has had 30 minutes to think of every injustice little Johnny has endured under your coaching tenure and then…well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty.

I don’t know about you but that kind of sends chills up my spine just thinking about it. The bottom line is we won’t hang you out to dry quite that bad. But we all know that “mama “ isn’t going to be happy until she gets a pound of flesh from someone because little Johnny missed out on something. Just remember that by time I get to Nationals most of my flesh is gone, so it just might be your flesh that she ends up getting.


On the other hand, you could just make sure that all your families know about the blog and then if mama messes up, well… it isn’t our problem.
