Great to see former senior men's national team coach Bill Dooley and former senior men's international Gareth Maguire in the Kirby Center last night. Thanks for getting behind the Leopards!
Irish basketball fans loved the fantastic Men's & Women's NCAA March Madness in the US. Most European Basketball Leagues have continued, with Irish players competing on professional teams. Basketball is being played safely all over the world, we can play it safely in Ireland.
“Needless to say a change in status for our elite level athletes is of utmost importance, with our Irish international squads eager to ramp up their preparations for the European Championships. We hope to have an update in the near future" @BernardOByrnebasketballireland.ie/news-detail/10…
Inundated with good luck messages from Irish basketball fans. We know how much you would love to be cheering on the lads from the bleachers. The team would love to have you in the Arena but know you will be screaming at us from your living rooms! The lads are ready to rock ☘️🏀

Sincere condolences from all in St Malachy's College Belfast PE Department. Frankie was a great friend, an inspirational teacher and a tremendous coach. We will miss him terribly.
It was sport, and Frankie was great at it. RIP Frankie 🙏🏻
Really enjoying working with the squad. Some terrific players have missed out on the final 12 selection which is a testament to the talent level available. It's going to be a massive challenge but hoping we can represent the Irish basketball community very well.
Ireland senior men's head coach Mark Keenan has today announced his 12 person squad for the FIBA European Championship for Small Countries, with Jason Killeen named as captain 🇮🇪🏀 #FIBASmallCountries

Both disappointing and frustrating for basketball players north and south to be confined to the sidelines while competitive leagues throughout Europe are being played with safety protocols in place.
We'll be bust by then 🗨️
@BelfastStar64 chairman Bill McCotter has warned that the stance taken by governments in the north and south of Ireland on indoor sports will have "serious consequences" for basketball on the island.
