I'd like to thank the Grizzlies Organization for selecting Birmingham Southern College as the location for their 2009 Training Camp. Last week, the BSC staff and players were able to see first hand the inner workings of an NBA team on the rise. Everyone from the owners and management, to the coaches, players and support staff worked hard to make this a week to remember.
After visiting with players and coaches, we quickly realized that life in the NBA is a marathon. Training camp alone involved 2 practices a day, treatment for injuries, weights, film, meetings, media and many other demands that make it a tough week. The team had 6 days to get ready for its first preseason game (not much time). In addition, they held an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday night (see footage below) which gave Birmingham a glance at the 2009-2010 Grizzlies!
The player who I was most excited to see was Birmingham's own DeMare Carrol. Demare grew up coming to our Basketball Camp here at BSC! He proved he belongs in the NBA all week drawing praise from the coaches and players! Good luck to Demare and the entire Memphis Grizzly Team in 2009-2010!
