PAUL JAMES INKS NEW PATRIOTS DEAL
Plymouth City Patriots have agreed a long-term deal with head coach Paul James.
After a poor start that followed a scramble to reboot the franchise under league ownership following the collapse of the Raiders, James took the new start-up into the top eight.
“I’m excited to be continuing in my position with the Plymouth City Patriots,” he said. “We knew our first season would be tough, given the timescale and position we had to get things up and running from.
“We just put our heads down and grafted on and off the court which ended up with us having the most amazing first season.
“The support we got from Plymouth Marjon University, sponsors and our brilliant supporters was outstanding and working alongside chairman Carl Heslop has been just great. There’s lots of exciting things happening around the club and I’m delighted to be a part of it all.”
A new home for the Patriots for next term has yet to be confirmed.
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.
