Hey,

It's been a slow start to the New Year my end, but hoping things will start ramping up very quickly...

This week's 3-pointer:

🇺🇸 Brits in College Recaps - Men | Women

There are a number of Brits flying the flag and representing the UK across NCAA Division 1 and 2 - check out the November/December recaps to find out who our top performers are.

🇬🇧 GB youth team coaches named

The British Basketball Federation (BBF) has named the coaching staff for the U20, U18 and U16 age group teams this summer, while appointing a new Youth Teams Programme Manager - with one new but familiar name to the old school BBL fans among us...

🏆 Cup Finals set - Men | Women

It's a big month with the first major silverware up for grabs with all the national league cup finals along with the BBL Trophy. Reigning champs TVC will aim to defend their crown in Manchester against Ipswich, while Milton Keynes may just be (?) the first Division 2 side to make the Men's final as they take on Reading.

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

With gratitude,

Sam
