MAIR TO EXIT ENGLAND BASKETBALL

By on June 13, 2013

england_basketball_logo_568The Chief Executive of England Basketball, Keith Mair, is to step down after ten and a half years in the position.

Under the New Zealander, EB was salvaged from the financial mess left behind by his predecessors at the English Basketball Association with a strong emphasis on improving administration.

However there had been several calls in recent years for the former Tall Blacks coach to quit his role, particularly in the wake of a reduction in funding from Sport England.

It is claimed, multiple sources told MVP, that the agency was keen on a change of regime in order to improve the sport’s case for much-needed support.

In a statement, England Basketball’s chairman Jan Hagen said: “England Basketball is immensely grateful for the contributions Keith has made to the sport.”

Mair will officially leave at the end of August.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
