Hey,

I hope you've enjoyed a bit of a Christmas break and haven't gone overboard on the food! I'm in that weird space between Christmas and the New Year where I lose track of what day it is, and have no idea whether I'm coming or going! Looking forward to getting back into a routine next week as we welcome 2024.

This week's 3-pointer:

🇬🇧 Buceta explains GB departure & bids farewell

In a video shared exclusively with Hoopsfix, former GB Women's Head Coach explains the circumstances around his surprise departure from the programme along with heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in his eight years at the helm. A must watch/read!

🏡 Ryan Richards suits up in NBL D3 with own club

It's rare we get to see a player of Richards' calibre suiting up in the lower rungs of the NBL, so I reached out to him to have a little chat for a little write up. Great to see him giving back to where he grew up and running his own club!

🎟 1 week left to get best ticket price on Trophy

The British Basketball League Trophy is almost upon us with the Finals at the end of the month taking place at the Utilitia Arena in Birmingham on the 27/28th January, it's a weekend you won't want to miss - as the first year with a new 'Final Four' format - and it is the last chance to get 5% off by buying through our link here. See you there!

That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else!

With gratitude,

Sam
