Coach of the Under-19 Guyanese basketball squad which recently toured Saint Lucia, Herbert Adams told Stabroek Sport yesterday that the team did well despite several setbacks.
According to him the team won the three matches they played despite adversities such as the weather and being pitted against players who were over 19 years old. He added that as coach he was satisfied to an extent with the performance of the players on tour in spite of those adversities.
Referring to recent media reports about irregularities with regard to funds during the tour, the coach reiterated that he had no cause to receive any funds from parents, sponsors or any source for the tour.
Adams added that he was not a member of the GABA, nor was he involved in any investigation related to the tour.
The coach emphasized that he was just a coach for the tour and did his job to the best of his ability. (Clyde Pestano)
