Locked: Magic: good or bad for district?

I understand that you may be feeling a loss when you have nurtured players from juniors, however how well have they been nurtured if they leave a club they have played in from juniors and that would also pose the question, would you really want 'disloyal' players at your club anyway?. Also about missing the point if you read back through previous blogs it is questioned a few times in regards to social players playing district, our district club began from a social club. I didn't say it was basketball snobbery, I posed the question. However you have made a fair point, maybe district clubs should be having a look at what they can do to keep their juniors - how that can be achieved, your guess is as good as mine!

Is this basketball snobbery at its finest or just a case of ruffled feathers? I play for a 'non district' club, and I certainly don't see myself as a 'social' player. Our so called 'social club', that is ruining the standard of district basketball managed to win two priemerships in the womens comp last season (div 3 & 5). We have no juniors and we have never poached players from any other club. Does this mean by proving ourselves and winning two premierships in one season we are lowering the standard of district basketball? I played against the Magic women's team when they first entered the comp in Div 4, and yeh it was tough and they are a very agressive team, but we had refs to control the game, just like any other game. To be honest it actually felt better losing to them by 20 points than beating some of the other district teams by 20 - I know it toughed me up! Maybe some district clubs need to start looking after their players a little better and they may not go elsewhere.
Are people's noses out of joint, because non district clubs are becoming more and more competitive? Rumour has it that the University sides are going to join together to form a Div 1 side - mmmmmm wonder what will happen when they start winning games.
