Indian Ocean Island Games: Basketball \u2013 Post-Games reaction"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span><b>With the 11th Indian Ocean Island Games officially over, and the poor display by our national selections, except for the women\u2019s volleyball selection which managed to retain the gold medal won at the 10th Games in 2019, in Mauritius, many sports\u2019 enthusiasts have voiced out their concerns regarding the meagre performances, while proposing possible solutions for better future results.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Having followed our two basketball selections closely throughout the Games, former PLS Hawks and Seychelles international guard Gioven Yocette approached Sports NATION to share his disappointment regarding the poor performances, while also sharing some ideas which he said if put in place as of now, Seychelles will perform way better at the next Indian Ocean Island Games (IOIG).<\/p>\n<p>Yocette joined PLS Hawks, formerly Plaisance, in 1986 after completing the National Youth Service (NYS), where he played for 13 seasons, winning six Indian Ocean Clubs Championships (IOCC) titles, and six national league titles, including two doubles.<\/p>\n<p>His first reaction about the IOIG was that local basketball needs a complete revamp, at all level of the game, from players, officials, coaches and managers.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that, having played basketball does not necessarily make you a coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only basketball, but sports in general is now a science whereby everyone involved need to constantly upgrade their knowledge to remain abreast of daily development, while getting rid of old habits and ancient ways of doing things,\u201d said Yocette, who added that there are presently a huge interest in basketball from the younger generation, but it is sad to see that there is no existing structure in place to nurture their interest into love for the sports, thus keeping them in basketball.<\/p>\n<p>He said with recent development in the sport, it have been years since local coaches and officials have received training to upgrade their capacities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe saddest part in all this is the absence of a statistician on the bench during matches, and even in training,\u201d said Yocette, who added that it is difficult to understand how a team can play at a competition at this level without someone keeping statistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat will the coach tell the players during time-outs, if statistics are not being kept throughout the match,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said clinics, or training should be hosted for local personnel in every aspect of the game, so that there will not only be uniformity within our local league, but will also take us up to the international level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur players have failed miserably in doing simple things such as breaking a full-court press, or moving in transition,\u201d noted Yocette, who explained that it was sad to see our players trying to break a press with dribbling, instead of setting up a standard \u201dpress break\u201d offense, causing them to make turn-overs, and losing the balls on most occasions, especially during the semi-final against hosts Madagascar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were no communications, whatsoever, on the courts, while the offence was disorganised, with everyone doing their own things,\u201d said Yocette, who further added that communications on the court have an impact on your opponents since they are aware that you are monitoring their offence.<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that a national selection should be in place, and training throughout the year, and not only a few weeks prior to a competition.<\/p>\n<p><b>There should be a change in Seychelles\u2019 basketball<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In order to see progression, there should be a drastic change in Seychelles\u2019 basketball, explained Yocette, who noted that we start afresh, by getting out of the comfort of Victoria Gymnasium, and decentralise basketball.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Seychelles Basketball Federation (SBF) should re-adopt the culture of playing outdoors in the districts as it was previously the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should run competitions in the districts at all levels, giving everyone the opportunity play,\u201d said Yocette.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, will bring the sport to the people, instead of them coming to basketball.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that at district level, more youngsters will have the chance to see matches, and this would ignite interests, thus, prepare the next generation of players.<\/p>\n<p>He said we need a new structure, with a well-detailed strategic plan, which once submitted, will convince the authority to invest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot just sit down and ask the government for money without helping ourselves and coming up with development programmes,\u201d noted Yocette who also added that the SBF should also embark on a marketing programme, thus partner with local businesses, taking them onboard as associates, instead of just sponsors when needed.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that partnership will also allow movement, whereby teams from Mahe\u0301 can travel to inner islands, compared to the existing situation whereby only inner island sides travel to Mahe\u0301.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA proper structure will also allow accountability, especially when it comes to funds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, will help to generate income which will go towards the development programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also need to put an end to the culture of making things that are not normal, normal,\u201d said Yocette, who added that only capable people should be allowed to sit on the SBF executive committee.<\/p>\n<p>He further noted that another failure of the SBF is letting all those involved with basketball in the 80s and 90s go, without picking their brain on the organisation, and technical aspect of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMadagascar, for example, is making use of all the available resources, both materials and training, from the Fe\u0301de\u0301ration internationale de basket-ball (Fiba), and we have witnessed during the IOG how they have highly benefitted,\u201d said Yocette, who also noted that we should make use of all available resources, especially in terms of training for our coaches and officials, if we want to progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot understand how PLS Legends are the Curtain-Raiser champions, when the other teams are full of youngsters, who can easily outrun them. This for me shows that there is something wrong somewhere, and this is one of the areas that we must tackle immediately,\u201d noted Yocette, who added that there are a lot of kids who are showing interest in basketball, while the problem is with the authority that does not have a proper structure to absorb, and keep them.<\/p>\n<p>Substance abuse is another issue which Yocette highlighted as one of the major setbacks in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>He said there should be stricter rules and regulations in regards to substance, for both players and spectators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents will never send their kids to play basketball if the authority cannot reassure them that the playing environment is safe, especially from substances,\u201d explained Yocette, who added that regular tests should be carried out, while strict punishments should be imposed on players who do not follow the rules, even if basketball is just for leisure in Seychelles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to do something, you must do it right, including abiding by all laws and regulations in place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil there is a total revamp of the existing structure, we will only see the decline of basketball, until it will become extinct,\u201d concluded Yocette.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/seychelles\">Seychelles<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
