    pathetic
    i think you mean 'classification' game.

    but yes, not a good performance, considering india was given nba coaches at womens and mens level, plus strength and conditioning coaches from nba/img, to prepare them months ahead ... and they still lost every mens and womens basketball game at asian championships, even to malaysia and indonesia

            If that's the case...why India hired an American coach?
            Not only does God play dice, but sometimes he throws the dice where we can’t see them.

              You got a good point here.
              India does not allow dual-citizenship, well at least their NOC.
              Guys like Timir Patel, Anish Sharda and Rishi Kakad would have been great additions to the program. It will take a long time now and a lot of money to boost interest in the sports in India. Instant success would have given the media maybe a reason to write about it...

                If you don't have a pro league of your own, join the Asian Basketball League! Indonesia and Malaysia are getting better because of it.

                  Oh no. Even they would like to..India is prohibited to join Asean Basketball League (not Asian). Only countries in southeast asian region are allowed to join.

                    Ahh.. well that also makes sense... so they can keep expenses (like air fares) manageable. Well, maybe if the league has established itself and has become a lot more profitable they they might be able to expand further.

                      coach natt's hiring was directed by the nba, who influence basketball in india, along with img, who own indian basketball outright. he strictly coaches the national team. now that asian championships are over, lets see if he sticks around to do any training of players before next international event.

                      indian national team players play in bfi organized tournaments during the year. they either are not permitted to play in outside leagues, or they're not good enough. (no offers) satnam singh does train at img in florida as part of img's ownership of basketball. but he is brought back to india for all national events, including u-16 and u-18 teams.

                      indian nt players do most of their training on their own. they respresent their state teams during senior nationals, and one sponsered team (indian railways) which has many nt players and win all the competitions.

                        because they dont believe any indian coach is good enough. previous two coaches were american and serbian.

                        also because nba has come to india to captialize on the emerging market (make money) and bfi turned over decision making to them for national team issues.
