A terrible day for British Basketball. That blue floor with all the lines was a national icon. https://t.co/9DFPb4STHY

👀 Ahead of the launch of British Wheelchair Basketball’s GB Elite Training Centre on Wednesday, could this possibly be the blue court that had ALL the lines on at EIS Sheffield?! 🙌🇬🇧🏀

Ref chokes under pressure, two poor calls and this looks like it's done

Arrived for @AllStars_BB. No press benches, no plug sockets in the work room apart from the ones on the wall. We're not off to a good start

“Srsly m8, the five-pointer thing wasn’t a wind-up. There’s a line on the court and everything…”

One of the advantages to a FIBA licence - flash it and I’m sure the constables will let you straight through whatever’s going on. https://t.co/xgD6ssmTAn

If any handchoppers want to demean themselves by learning to referee, this course will teach you to do just that - with an ancient whistle! https://t.co/pP5ydrgtZW

Fabulous chopping lessons in Ireland this week, tutored by @markpatton39. Still some work required on arm straightness, but #AlwaysImproving

@Hoopsfix @gbbasketball Glad to see our hosts know which country they're playing against 🇬🇧

So @gbbasketball lose by 22. Good to see the NGB laying into our common enemy, and the real villains - the floor officials #RespectTheRef
