NIGERIA : Nnaji Targets Double Glory
ASSISTANT coach of the national female basketball team, Scott Nnaji is optimistic that the team would excel at both the All Africa Games and African Women's Basketball Championship.
Nnaji who expressed satisfaction with the responses of the players in camp assured that members of the technical crew are ready to put in their best to enable the team achieve the right result.
"We in the coaching crew are determined to ensure we record good outings in both major competitions, knowing that it would be to the glory and honour of Nigeria," Nnaji reasoned.
He also spoke about insinuations of ill-blood existing between him and the team's foreign coach, Kevin Cook from the USA, but Nnaji dispelled all talk about conflict in the crew.
"Everything is cordial between us. There is no conflict and I can assure you that we are both working towards the common goal of bringing glory to Nigeria. We are both getting on very well, that I can assure all Nigerians," said the coach, who also doubles as handler of the female squad of Customs Basketball Club.
