Hi, the blog sounds good.

I was working on the Wikipedia article: "FIBA Africa" and I found your blogspot link. If you have anything to contribute it would be totally appreciated. The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIBA_Africa#FIBA_Federations or just type in FIBA Africa in a wikipedia search box.

Type User:Mr Accountable into the search box if you need to leave a message at my user page.

I hope you can help out sometime. The article is very short and there are no articles on any of the national federations. I was only able to find a few links after 1/2 hour's work.

Great blog. Go Celtics.
