Basketball History 1979 to 2020 1979 Attended my first ever game of Basketball the HAWKS NBL first game. One week later I started my apprenticeship as a Sports Trainer at the HAWKS with Paul Whiteman the Head Trainer and as a consequence I began a lifelong association and love with basketball. I started by looking after the Illawarra Youth League men’s team, and assisting with the HAWKS and the WNBL with BOB Sim from that time on I became heavily involved in the IBA not only as a Sports Trainer but involved in the association helping with any team that requested my services and also the association. My job as TAFE teacher gave me the ability to be able to help the IBA with the fabrication of Backboards, Rings, Seating Stands, Stairs, and Security Gates etc. Thus being this involved in the IBA lead to a strong association with NSWBA as a Sports Trainer, through John Martin at NSWBA which lead to being involved in all sorts of events, Country Tournaments, training camps, representing NSWBA at Australian Championships all over the country in the ages of U/16, U/18, U/20 both men and women’s teams. Other events also associated with NSWBA were the Masters Games and numerous other events under their banner or association with. 2 NOMINATIONS FOR LIFE MEMBERSHIP AGM 2020 NSWBA Medical Commission founding member John Martin, Doctor Roger Parrish, Bob Sim Physio/Coach, Ron Hobbs and Phil Driscoll.
