Resolutions 5.1 One resolution had been received, from Glasgow University: “Glasgow University Basketball Club propose that registration rule 2.3. from the regulations and policies for all basketball be reviewed and changed.

Questions 6.3 There were a number of points and questions raised, including: - Issues with the administration of the West RDLs. KP undertook to improve this. - A very short programme for the U14 development squad in the past season. KP noted that a replacement of the “Future Starz” programme was being developed to fill this gap. - U18 Men National Squad programme had been stopped before the competitive phase. KP advised that too few selected players were available to continue the programme this year. - The recruitment process to appoint Tony Garbelotto as Scotland Senior Men’s Coach. DW noted that the process adopted reflected the short timescales ahead of the Commonwealth Games and was considered a pragmatic and robust approach. It was accepted that greater clarity could have been provided to the wider basketball community and that there was merit in carrying out an independent review of recruitment processes for future Senior and Youth national team appointments to support attracting suitable candidates. - Whether the FIBA exemption to play European Division C for Senior Men and Women be of benefit to athletes. KP noted that this had not been a priority, however, it was acknowledged that the standard of competition had improved and this position would be reviewed on an annual basis. - In relation to officiating, a view that there is retention of only 1 in 8 officials completing training courses. KP noted that the approach is changing towards an environment based approach where officials were given appropriate support and tailored training to aid development, progression and retention. KP welcomed any ideas on how this could be improved further. - It was noted that there are similar problems with recruitment of coaches in the North East. KP noted that the coaching qualification and education structure is being reviewed based on feedback from the coaching survey earlier this year. 7. 2016-2017 Financial Statements 7.1 The approved Financial Statements had been circulated. 7.2 ECp noted that the financial year had been challenging, particularly due to post-Brexit exchange rates negatively impacting on the costs of international programmes. However, a small surplus had been generated and added to the reserves. Questions 7.3 There were a number of points raised, including: - A request for more detailed income and expenditure figures.
