PO Box 2886 Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Sugar Land, Texas 77487 Phone: 281-313-8222 [email protected] www.tabchoops.org Fax: 281-313-8224 Vol. XLI No. 8 July 28, 2019 Dear TABC Members, I hope all of you have had a restful and relaxing summer and are now ready as we near the 2019-2020 school year! Each year brings new challenges and exciting opportunities that we must be ready to face, both as an individual and as a profession. The game is ever-changing and it is our responsibility as coaches to adapt and adjust on the court and in the classroom. I want to thank all of the past TABC Presidents for their outstanding leadership and most recently to Jaime Boswell of Alice ISD for a job well done. Thank you to the UIL, Dr. Charles Breithaupt, Dr. Susan Elza, Brandy Belk, Joseph Garmon, and everyone else that had a hand in the new rule allowing coaches to do up to 2 hours of sport-specific skills with their student-athletes beginning this summer. This is a fantastic opportunity to build relationships and keep our student-athletes engaged throughout the summer. Now, it is my hope that we continue to grow this organization to be the best it can be and continue to be a student of the game. Get involved and help out by getting as many coaches as we can to join TABC or offer to serve on a committee. Do not hesitate to contact the TABC Staff, TABC Board, or Regional Coordinators with any and all suggestions and solutions. Be passionate in all that you do and have a blessed year! Yours in Basketball and TABC, Jason Sanders, TABC President, Lumberton High School TABC is happy to announce our fall membership drive which includes a discount for coaches who join between now and Octo- ber 15, 2019.

TABC Roundball Roundup—Page 7 The annual TABC convention and clinic held May 16, 17 and 18 in San Antonio was another successful event even though it looked to be in big trouble from the beginning. Three weeks be- fore the clinic date, TABC received bad news from the El Tropicano Hotel that the Coronado Ballroom would not be available for our event. For 20 years the clinic has gradually been built around the Coronado Room as our two banquets and site for speakers have grown to the point where it held almost half of the clinic activities. The news left TABC scrambling for replacement venues without much time to recover. After much searching and shuffling we were able to find a home for all of our activities without much inconvenience to attendees. The Double Tree Hotel rearranged some of their events and hosted our two banquets. By moving some of our board and all of the Hall of Fame inductees rooms to the Double Tree we were able to avoid the ballroom rental fees and limit travel for most of the guests. We held our breath as some speakers were moved to smaller ballrooms and fortunately everything fit. We apologize to any who were inconvenienced by the unavoida- ble late changes in event sites. Now for the good news: All speakers were informative and well attended. The on court demonstrations and vendor show at St Mary's University enjoyed continued success as the TABC clinic remains the largest and best state hosted clinic in the nation. For the seventh con- secutive year (10th of the last 11 years), over 2,000 coaches were in attendance and more than 70 vendors showed their wares helping our coaches prepare their budgets for next season. Since the Coronado Ballroom, like the Municipal Auditorium, is now an important part of our history, but a thing of the past, TABC will be moving to a new host hotel for future clinics. The dates for next year are May 14, 15, 16, 2020 (the week after the state track meet) and the Sep- tember newsletter will announce our new clinic headquarters and how to make reserva- tions. We promise that the changes will be improvements as TABC continues to best serve its members. Scholarship Contributions The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches presently awards eighteen $500 scholarships to graduating seniors connected to basketball in the state of Tex- as. As more funds become available, the number and amounts of the scholar- ships will be increased. Many of you have players who have gone on to lucra- tive careers either as either professional athletes or as business leaders.
