I asked this player if SD was an as$hole and he emphatically replied, "NO, its Leo"! Please, please, please somebody from Canada Basketball fire his ass! Canada Basketball needs to clean house!!!

Same shit been happening with Basketball Canada for years, however the crap that happened this year takes the cake. MT you should consider doing something on the Junior National Team. From having to give back their Carding money; benching the only returning player; not inviting some of the best; and the list goes on. I commend Sam on speaking out and I hope more people do the same as this is the first step in improving the program. Great story.

I didnt see him as a good coach, even his color commentary is "suspect", having his son on the team, cutting Juan Mendez, and letting Carl English shoot the ball like he thinks hes kobe, only the BALL aint going into the net. There are SO many TALENTED players in Canada, and the team the put together seem to be so sub-par. but when i heard SD was gonna be on the team, i was excited. And then, Leo does it again. Stressing one of the best defensive players in the NBA like that, im so pissed. then i see the guy barely played. See this is how poltics in Canadian basketball is. they have their favourites, and the let them do what they want. I say they need to Revamp this Canadian Team, and Develop players in their youth. We NEED Jay Triano Back. Msg to Sam. God Bless man, you keep doing you, and Leo will understand he made a mistake. Canada Basketball is a Joke. some may good players in canada, yet, they dont play.. how come denham wasnt on the team? what about Antwi (forgot his last name) . went to henry Carr, and average over 42ppg as a point guard in toronto? there are sooo many more. Tatham from brampton, couple other players, and then theres more out west. im pissed, enough vamping from me. Sam Didnt do anything, thats what i thought all along. and i hope the canadian media takes this reports this. God Bless Andre from toronto When Leo took over the Canadian tea, i was so upset.

He doesn't even look professional when coaching on the sideline. I'm still trying to find one coach that wears an ear ring, lol.... Anyways, my main point is we finally got a solid 5 and you boot him off the team?? Just by looking at Sammy you can tell he doesn't come across and a cancer. He looks like that player who is very proud and appreciative of the positions he is in and the type that loves to give back because he knows the hardships for some kids and families due to experience. I think having Leo R. as the head coach will destroy our national team and we'll be known as just a hockey power house, as long as he's at the helm. Sammy keep your head up, I was very happy to see you become a Canadian citizen and as a born and raised resident I will apologize for the mistreatment you received at the hands of those who don't know what they are doing. Hopefully things change and we can take it to the US team for the whole game, not just in the first half. PEACE!! Leo was the worst choice for our national team.
