Stan Hill for national clinic
In spite of rumours to the contrary, Stan Hill, the New Zealand basketball representative, will attend a national coaching clinic in Lower Hutt over Easter.
Hill said yesterday that he had bad “some difficulties” with the New Zealand Basketball Association, but they had been settled and he would be at Lower Hutt.
A squad of 16 will attend the clinic, and a New- Zealand team to play in an international tournament at Taipei from May 10 to 21 will be named next week. The executive officer of the N.Z.B.A. (Mr Joe McLeod) said yesterday
that any player who did not attend the trials would be ineligible for the tour.
. Hill said that he would have liked to play in the C.B.A. Easter tournament in Christchurch for his club Checkers. Hill coaches the side and thought it would have had a good chance of success. Mr McLeod said that one of basketball’s long serving internationals, John McDonald, had with- ( drawn from the clinic*; McDonald; from New Plymouth, had a number of personal reasons for not being available, and even the persuasions of the national coach, Steve McKean, had not changed his mind.
