Daghlas speaks about the current situation of Jordanian Basketball - Oct 4, 2009 (by Mohammed Malas)Jordan number 1 point guard Osama Daghles (199-G-79, college: Midwestern St.) have opened his heart to the sports fans around the world earlier today to speak about the current situation of Jordanian Basketball cuasing some problems following the latest reaction which forced the elections from the 3rd of Ocober to a further notice!1- Whats your opinion about the current situation of the Jordanian Basketball after the qualification to the World Cup?First i want to say I’m very happy and proud of all the players, coaches and management for achieving our goal and qualifying for the World Cup.To be honest with you and answer your question i think a lot of people didn’t think we had a shot of qualifying and better yet didn’t want us to succeed in any way. Whats going on right now is a prime example to all the players because we are getting over shadowed by the situation. I’m not happy with whats going on because its leaving the players clueless and thats not a good thing. Its been like this since July! Enough is enough. In my opinion we need to bring back the old federation because whats going on now is hurting the sport. It’s october and we have no plans for the up coming season! How is that helping Jordan basketball, i don’t know.2- Do you think that its time for some personal arguments instead of thinking of the main goal which is the future of the new season?I think its highly important to think about the up coming season and not let personal agenda hurt the sport. Jordan basketball since 2003 been going up and becoming the number one sport in bringing championships to Jordan. Since Mr Tarek Zu’bi (The ex-federation president) took over and Zain joined the league Jordan basketball been very respected all over Asia and now the world. I believe if something is not broken you don’t fix it. Mr Zuabi and Zain have been the ones to reach out and bring Jordanian players back home to play for there country. We need professionalism in Jordan, thats the only route to go. We are all witness on how it change the game for the better.3- Are you with keeping Coach Mario Palma in both Zain and National Team in case the current problems are solved?Coach Palma is a great coach and i would love to have him back. but at the end of the day i know its business, Zain has the last word and i have respect that and be ready to play for which ever coach they decide to go with.4- Teams started preperations except Zain club, Do you know why?To be honest im not sure whats going on, and when we are going to start training camp. but i think its going to be some time in early November.5- What are your next plans with both Zain & National Team?My plane is to get ready for an exciting season. Im ready to start working hard and win as many titles as i can starting with Dubai Tournament and hopefully ending with winning Asia Championship.6- Finally, Any word for your fans?For people that didn’t know how are dream of qualifying started we have to thank Mr. Tarek Zu’bi he’s the one came to us with a Dream and all the players and the coaching staff believed and went out and achieved the biggest achievement in Jordan history. I believe what Mr Zu’bi and the Federation have done since 2003 specks for it self. They helped Jordan basketball grow.Keep the faith and thank you for all your support. Hope we hear some good news soon about the up coming season. Go Jordan Basketball
