Basketball is Universally Binding the World

The coaches at the Tindastoll camp are getting along much better than maybe could have ever been anticipated.  There is laughing, above is me speaking with an Italian GM and former coach Luigi Gresta http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Gresta .  In that picture you can see the camraderie that all of the coaches are feeling towards one another.

There are many reasons that this is happening, but basketball is what brought us together in Iceland and it is something that we all love and have a passion for.  I know you can get this in many other things, but here...now...it is basketball. 

Basketball is something else that has binded the coaches with a few people in this community as well.  All of the people we have come into contact with have been nothing but nice and hospitable.  The only thing that could be better would be the weather, but as the locals keep telling me....quit complaining about the weather; it is Iceland!

It is Wednesday and I am looking forward to going home.  However, with any camp you do become connected to the kids, the players, and the coaches and it will be with some sadness that I leave, but with much happiness when I arrive home.
