Equant removed as NT Manager (Press release on 15 Apr)
After the removal of Equant as NT manager, the Buzzerbeater Basketball Association Of Singapore held an emergency meeting and decides to turn to ex-Manager, Eric to take over as stand-in NT manager for the remainder of the season.
After the appointment, Eric told the press, "I am excited to be back in-charge of the NT. I understand that everyone are disappointed with our unexpected failure to qualify for the 2nd round but let's pull ourselves together and work towards a successful Consolation Tournament!".
Immediately after his re-appointment, Eric recalls his favourite NT player, Fang Shuangxiang to the team. "Shuangxiang has been the best Singapore player that I have ever worked with and hopefully his experience can help galvanize the team!", Eric explains to the press. "With only 1.5 days left, we managed to arrange a friendly with Crna Gora. Although it was a bit hasty and there wasn't much time to train together or plan for our tactics, we wanted the NT to keep playing and gain as much experience as possible".
