The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of players and coaches after finding out that the Irish senior international basketball programs had been discontinued. Eight senior international members (two coaches, six players) participated in the study. This study relied upon grounded description methods, including semi-structured interviews, to gather and analyse data. While findings supported previous work which indicates that the main sources of development for the coaches included: experience, other coaches and reflection. The sources of development for the players included: exposure to top-level coaches, top level players and competition. This study has identified that the basketball structure played an important role in coach and athlete development through the provision of development opportunities associated with the international programs. Most notably, it was found that the removal of the senior international programs negatively impacted on the development and participation of younger players and reduced the popularity of the sport. However, the long-term consequences of the removal of the senior international programs warrants further research. v Title of Contents Page(s) Acknowledgements iii Abstract v Table of Contents vi Chapter 1: Introduction 1-6 Introduction 2 Coach Development 2 Athlete Development 3 The History of Basketball in Ireland 3 Current Situation 4 The Irish Domestic League and International Teams 5 Basketball Ireland 5 Coaching Education provided by Basketball Ireland 6 Research Questions 6 Chapter 2: Literature Review 7-29 Introduction 8 Coach Development: An overview of Research 8 Athlete Development: An overview of Research 18 Sport Structure 25 Summary of Literature Review 28 Chapter 3: Methodology 30-37 Introduction and Rationale 31 Methodology: Grounded Theory and Grounded Description 32 Methods 33 Data Collection 35 Analysis 37 Summary of Methodology 38 Chapter 4: Findings & Discussion 38-84 Introduction 39 Coach Development in Irish basketball 43 Player Development in Irish basketball 57 Perceived Consequences to Coach, Player and Sport development vi after the removal of senior international programs 74 Chapter 5: Conclusion 84-88 Introduction 85 Coach development in Irish basketball: A summary 85 Player Development in Irish basketball: A summary 86 Closing thoughts 87 References: 89-107 Appendices: 108-128 Appendix A: Study information Sheet for coaches 109 Appendix B: Study information Sheet for players 113 Appendix C: Written consent form- coaches 117 Appendix D: Written consent form- players 119 Appendix E: Interview Guide – Coaches 121 Appendix F: Interview Guide – Players 125 vii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION International level basketball is a highly competitive arena in which participants continuously try to enhance their performance in a bid to be successful. Research indicated that individual development at this level is influenced by the context, resources and interactions with others (Baker, Horton, Roberston-Wilson, Wall, 2003, Côté, 1999, Pedersen, 2005). The purpose of this chapter is to outline the rationale for this study, based on the previous research, and outline gaps in the literature. First, a brief overview of the literature is provided in relation to coaching research and athlete research. Second, the contextual background for Irish basketball is discussed which identifies the current situation pertaining to international basketball. The majority of current literature surrounding sport development has focused on pathways to top level sport. However, what happens to coaches and players when sources of development are eliminated? There is limited research identifying the consequences of such actions to development. When Basketball Ireland removed the senior international programs, it provided the opportunity to record such a phenomenon. The international teams provided a multitude of development opportunities for both coaches and players such as: experience, learning from other coaches, reflecting on performance, and working with top level players. Consequently, the removal of the teams has reduced these opportunities. But before the consequences are examined, the sources of development need to be identified. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the sources of development for basketball coaches and players and the consequences to their development when sources are removed. 1.2 COACH DEVELOPMENT Coaching research originally focused on the bio-scientific, however, it has evolved to encompass coaching behaviours (Bloom, Crumpton, and Anderson, 1999; Côté and Sedgwick, 2003; Cushion and Jones, 2001; Gould, Guinan, Greenlead, and Chung, 2002), practices (Baker, Côté and Abernethy, 2003; Bloom, Durand-Bush, and Salmela, 1997), reflections (Knowles, Tylerm Gilbourne and Eubank, 2006; Nelson and Cushion, 2006) and social interactions (Nixon, 1993; Poczwardowski, Barrot, and Henschen, 2002; Zeigler, 1980). 2 While one of the aims of this study is to focus on the consequences of the discontinuation of the Irish senior basketball programme on coach development, it aims to provide a description of the sources of development that lead to top level coaching in Irish basketball. Research advocates that the coaching process is individual to each context, and should be researched as such (Cross, 1995; Shempp, 1998: Tinning, 1982). 1.3 ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT While coaching research is still within the nascent stage of sports research, athlete research is a well-established discipline. Therefore, a large amount of research pertaining to athlete development exists, specifically, examining the stages of development for athletes and the comparison of elite athletes and amateurs. According to the literature athlete development is influenced by numerous factors namely: genetics (Galton, 1876), opportunities to play (Côté, 1999), the coach (Gould, Guinan, Greenleaf, Medberty and Peterson, 1999; Jowett and Cockerill, 2003),

Of course, the world has changed over time and to disre- gard the current economy would be fatal. This is undoubtedly the major challenge for the coming years. Addressing it will require men and women who, without losing sight of our founding princi- ples, can also provide new solutions. The required solidarity in a world defined by inequalities is the vital spark igniting FIBA’s humanist work.

  • The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players
    KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players JANUARY 2013 KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Transfer of Players in Sport Professional transfers are regulated by a complex set of regulations established by sports governing bodies. Rules are subject to a large degree of standardisation at international level through international sports institutions such as FIFA for football and FIBA for basketball. The justification for international standardisation stems from the ambition to make competition rules universal in order to promote international sporting exchanges. The extensive autonomy granted to sporting bodies for the self-regulation of their activities is a fundamental characteristic of sport as compared to other economic and social activities. The transfer environment is subject to different layers of rules and regulations. The study aims to document the different layers of rules and to consider their interactions. Transfer rules in sport are a derogation from normal employment practices in the following ways: i) They limit the freedom of players to move from one employer to another and set restrictive conditions for such moves. Contracts may be terminated by either party without consequences (such as sporting sanctions) only if justified by “just cause”1; ii) They establish a system of transfer fees between clubs in order to prevent a total ban on players’ mobility.
