Whatever is written on this blog will never be a lie. . That being said when situations occur right before my eyes I will more than likely be getting carpel tunnel.
PROMISES
The new Board of the Barbados Netball Association was chosen through a democratic process with the merging of the two netball 'powerhouses' and their 'affiliates' in the sport. The Board has the right to make decisions - good,bad or unpopular.
After numerous promises were made prior to the AGM on December 16th 2010, the promisees are waiting in the wings with bated breath to see if the promiser will deliver. At stake is the highly sought after head coaching position of the senior national team which Miss Tekking Back She Sport believe is hers.
What is even more devastating to her and these people is that there are stories being carried in the media ( Barbados Advocate and CBC TV) stating the NEED for Alwyn Babb's return to the head coaching position.
Are there leaks already ??
Now the question that has surfaced is who is the culprit(s) giving stories to the media which may very well be true.
Remember readers I did say in my opening paragraph that I won't be telling any LIES on this blog ! Now look at the high lighted question again and ..............................hmmmmmmm !

Interesting !!
Isn't it ironic that the two vacant posts within the Barbados Netball Association are now filled and unlike in the past the general body was NOT given the opportunity to see the resumes of the applicants ?
Section 5:1.2 (a)(ii) of the Constitution reads:
ALL resumes SHALL be circulated to the membership prior to the date ...............
None were circulated and no hard copies were distributed at the meeting.
Already this is a case of things that make you go HMMMM !

May 'progress' continue........... Hmmmm !
I've often been told that when an animal has a young offspring, it quickly goes on the defensive.
It was no surprise therefore that when I read the Nation newspaper online ( 10-01-11) there was an article from the new Board of the BNA which is utterly defensive-minded.
"Back in 2008, there was a lot of disunity within the Barbados Netball Association. . . We had vice-presidents resigning from the board, and I called a meeting of the concerned clubs [and] I got a lot of support there."
Am I reading that in 2008 vice-presidents ( PLURAL) resigned?Maybe they did and that was the reason for the no-show of any . Hmmmm!
In July of 2008 a special meeting of some clubs WAS organized and summoned by the individual quoted above after SHE felt that SOME of them were disgruntled with the way the local competition was being run by the Board of the Barbados Netball Association of which SHE was a member. Hmmmm !
The article also speaks of being made to feel marginalised. How can the coordinator of any national team in ANY sport be made to feel like they are marginalised as well as to feel like they are a "middleman"? Shouldn't the person with such a portfolio be required to work closely with all national teams? Hmmmm!
“I tried working with the team but somehow along the way it seemed as though I was pushed on the wayside. I was not given the opportunity to get very close to the senior team,” explained the one-time Rangers player. “I tried on numerous occasions to have meetings with the senior management, as is the case with any national team coordinator, but I was never, ever given the opportunity to have a meeting.” DOES THIS SOUND TRUE ?? LIES AND MORE LIES !!
“In case there isn’t one major sponsor as in previous years, we’re hoping that at least we can gain some sponsorship per division and have the companies come on board, because obviously the premier sport for women in Barbados [is netball]."
Does this mean as previous as fifteen years ago when according to another blogger the BNA had its last sponsor?
A wise man once said you can get away from a thief but not from a liar ! Hmmm !

Player/coach
The new Board of the Barbados Netball Association has started the new year with a major surprise.
It is understood that one of the senior national players has been given the mandate of getting training sessions started after she had a telephone call with the new chief of the Organization.
Does this mean that we will be trying the COACH/PLAYER route this year? Does it mean that there will be no senior coach this year and maybe not in the next two years ? Does it mean that the Board shows no faith in any local coaches?
DOES IT MEAN THAT THE LAST COACH IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE FOR A MEETING??
SHOCKING!!!
Why would the Board give this particular individual the task of calling players when it was known that the senior team had co-captains and a management team even if the head coach had resigned?
Happy New Year!
