Less than one year into their tenure ,they have done the obvious and will soon be performing the burial rites to the game of netball locally,regionally and internationally.
Maybe it has happened locally already due to the lack of correspondence sent or given to clubs,crass attitudes towards said clubs and their holier-than-thou approach taken. Internationally,the netball world was given a first hand idea of the ignorance which governs the game here when at a meeting held at the 2011 World Netball Championships, the utterly inept leader of the pack has allegedly said on the floor that Barbados is looking for a FOREIGN coach.
Remember this would've taken place DURING the Championships where Team Barbados was playing under the guidance of Alwyn Babb.
It doesn't take an Einstein to know that the pack leader has never supported Mr.Babb as coach. She has openly said such BEFORE she became leader. Some measures were also put in place which could've brought about immense failure by the 2011 senior national team.
This alleged announcement to the WORLD begs several questions which hopefully will be answered at the upcoming General Meeting ( whenever it is summoned).
1- Wasn't there a coach already in place when this STUPID announcement was made?
2 - Was this announcement the Board's way of saying to Mr.Babb that he isn't needed?
3 - Didn't she care about the image of the COUNTRY on the global scene?
4- Was it a decision made based on greed,hate,spite,ignorance or just downright stupidity?
I've been fortunate to have first hand knowledge of the machinations under which the Barbados Netball Association has functioned. I've never been more concerned for the sport than now knowing that at any given turn, AUTOCRACY will raise it's head and DEMOCRACY will be replaced.
The burial rites might've been performed but just like in Hollywood where no one ever dies...... we can do it here too.
Maybe now is the time for the much talked about NO-CONFIDENCE vote.
