Where is Canada's training facility?
When we wonder why we can not compete with the worlds best national basketball teams we can start with the fact that we don't have a dedicated facility for our program.
I see the Soccer Canada has been able to add a soccer only National Stadium in Toronto with BMO Field. Basketball Canada needs a facility that they can use to train and produce the best basketball players for our future.
Using an existing university facility won't do. They need a facility that they have control over to maximize it's effects on our national and Jr national players.
How much could it cost to build a basketball gym with some seating. A European sized (5000 seats) basketball building would be perfect for international games and some national tournaments. They could also rent it out for local tournaments and even a minor league team.
Right now Basketball Canada needs to start somewhere with something to get the program moving forward.
