I Played Kenyan Hoops too
Pro Bball in Kenya? Hell No! We need to get rid of those old school KBF guyz first! KBF management has no organizational skills and their marketing is poor.
Observations:
KBF wouldn't run a road side kiosk if their lives depended on it
Corporate teams have been pulling out for the last 5 years. Remember Post Bank, Sprite, NSSF, Ulinzi? The league is now dominated by 2 banks, some college teams and a horde of estate teams
Motivation: Throw some cash. Imagine after a whole season of breaking ankles, bruised knees, sweat, blood and tears you get a measly tin plated trophy from Nairobi Sports House, a 2 bob medal and a FREAKING HAND SHAKE! No cash incentive.
Too few games: Teams in the League:9. Games played per season: 16. 16 games a season is not worth attending practice 4 times a week, you have a life!
We've had one national team coach for the last 15 years! Not forgetting 1 point guard for the same period of time
Crowd: During a regular season game, at least 85% of the crowd in attendance is comprised of: players who had their games earlier in the day, players who are waiting to play the next game, officials, curious wananchi who heard noises emanating from the Nyayo Gym.
Games: Women games should be moved to 9am, period. Div I basketball is more exciting, deserves to be moved to 2 pm onwards.
Lets have some flood lit games. Who said the game has to end at 6pm. Rumour has it that KBF cant afford to run floodlites for more than 20mins.
Players. It's easy sometimes to blame KBF for the declining standards, but players: UP YOUR GAME! ***, i didnt spend my valuable time and energy to watch you miss an open lay-up, brick ALL your free throws, chapati dunks and accumulate 5 fouls in 8 mins. I demand good basketball if you want my time and money!!!
Officiating. You Whistle happy bustards!!!!
We have strippers in Nairobi everywhere nowadays, why cant we have some cheerleaders!!
I could go on forever but you get the gist. BTW I played for a college team in the Premier League and i have never had so much fun. I quat after college coz 4 training sessions a week aint worth it!!
