Coach, Player Sue For United NBF

D’Tigress will achieve more if there is a concerted effort to unite all the warring parties.
Nigeria’s national women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, is through to the 2022 World Cup tournament scheduled for Australia in September and they did it despite having no training camp and arriving in Belgrade two days to the commencement of the tournament.
They made history by beating France for the first time ever and held on to out-gun Mali to claim one of the tickets.
However, the Coach of the team, Otis Hughley and the only point guard in the squad, Promise Amukamara, said in the post-match conference that things would be a lot better for the team if the divided Nigeria Basketball Federation could pull together in the same direction.
According to him, the Nigeria Basketball Federation has two presidents at the moment – Musa Kida and Igoche Mark. D’Tigress basically played three matches in four days with just eight players.
When Coach Otis Hughley was asked what the next logical step will be for D’Tigress, he said, “I think it is emblematic of the potential of having three games in four days with eight players and one point guard, who is really a two by the way”.
