THE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CONTINUES - Jan 26, 2012 (by Ozell Wells)
After listening to Mike Brown's interview, where he stated repeatedly that 'He (Kobe) allows me to do my job.' It hit me like a ton of bricks that the NBA has become 'a player's league' A league where the power struggle is experiencing massive swings, and all sense of formality and gamesmanship have gone out the door like yesterday's garbage [read more]
After listening to Mike Brown's interview, where he stated repeatedly that 'He (Kobe) allows me to do my job.' It hit me like a ton of bricks that the NBA has become 'a player's league' A league where the power struggle is experiencing massive swings, and all sense of formality and gamesmanship have gone out the door like yesterday's garbage. From seeing the Chris Paul LA saga play out, where the id could not get the parents to buy the sweet cereal that he wanted, Lakers would have been bad for the business side of the NBA; to seeing time honored winning coaches run out of town aka Demarcus Cousins and Paul Westphal. The game as changed drastically, in this its second 'asterisk season'. An asterisk season for those of you who may not remember first took place in '98-'99 with the 1st NBA lockout shortened season. This travesty of what is now being called a season is beginning to play out like a straight to dvd movie. 2 week training camps, back to back games, referees working 3 consecutive night, to watching teams play a type of basketball reminiscent of what we normally see on street corners and in playgrounds across the globe. PAINFUL TO SEE! CASE AND POINT: In the third quarter of a recent Wizards 114-106 loss to Houston, Javale McGee caught a pass from John Wall, tossed the ball to himself off the glass and dunked to bring his team within four. For a team that has been struggling to score and win all season, trying to showboat while trailing was questionable. Apparently, if you get a fast break and throw it off the backboard in the third quarter, and youre team is 1-11, youre not supposed to do stuff like that, McGee said, unable to grasp why Coach Saunders and some of his teammates were disappointed. In my 20 years manning the sidelines, that type of play is not to be utilized at all in a close game to say the least, not mentioning the 1-11 record of the team. WHAT WAS THE BOY THINKING? AND WHO TAUGHT HIM TO THINK THAT WAY? Believe it or not, the coach that benched McGee was fired and not a single mention of the hapless reckless play on the part of the Wizards. And now a new 'eager to impose his will' cowboy is coming to try and reign in an uncontrollable and chaotic stampede. Side note, the Sacramento Kings, site of 'Cousins-Westphal', saw their new coach screaming for Cousins to foul, late in a close game and with the Kings sitting comfortaby WITH A FOUL TO GIVE, and that command going unnoticed by Cousins. Hence, a Kings loss ensued. The public is sure loving every bit of the storm that is swirling around us. Commercials, Playstation games, Televised games at all time viewership highs, and coaches being brought in to replace those who make failed attempts at instilling order and rules in the impending disaster. WHAT WAS IT THEY ALWAYS SAID ABOUT PUTTING A BAND-AID ON AN OPEN WOUND? BACK ON THIS SIDE OF THE POND: The winningest coach in Estonia recently stepped down, alongside the head coach of Valencia in Spain who was released. Now mind you in the ACB of late, Antoine Wright was released, rumor has it ,due to his anger over non payment of salary. Meanwhile across the country in Estudiantes, Luis Flores is facing disciplinary issues due to missing team shootarounds and being late for the team bus. All of his transgression are also rumored to be over non-payment of his salary.
ALAS, THE BAND CONTINUES TO PLAY THUS THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

FEDOMBAL president Frank Herasme, announced the resolutions adopted by the Assembly of Associations under the IV National Congress Ripley Enrique Marin, held 10-11 December 2011, at club Mauricio Bez.
Herasme said they will prohibit the use of 4 foreign import reinforcements and only allow 3, which may be on the court simultaneously.
Is applied to the payment of 100 thousand Dominican pesos annually to each LNB franchise, plus payment of the 'licenses' of their players according to their category.
The resolution says that the LNB is responsible for withholding and paying taxes to the Fedombal. 50 percent are for provincial associations where the club is franchised and eliminates the 4 percent fee for Fedombal and other Associations.
But he allows the employment of up to 4 foreign officials to strengthen Dominican judges, one per game, and complemented by two Dominicans.
You are prohibited from replacing a team player called by the FEDOMBAL with a foreigner, as stipulated in the National Competition Rules.
All these measures are amendments to the National Competition Rules and will apply from January 1 this year.
Franchises with a roster of 15 players, must register at least two players from the U-21.
FEDOMBAL will make the under 25 national championship in the summer with 20 or 24 teams, as a type of Development League in the provinces where the LNB does not have franchises, and there is also an opening for them to handle, whether owners or shareholders of one or more clubs.
The LNB may negotiate exclusive use of its official ball for their tournaments and must wear the number on the front of the shirt for each player, which can be from 1 to 99.
They have also eliminated the amount of non-resident native players (everyone must verify their Dominican nationality), players can not be nationalized to more than one franchise and must be referred by the Fedombal with the 'possibility' that they are a part of the national team.
Foreigners that have played for another country do not qualify for citizenship and can only operate as reinforcements.
