The Shropshire Warriors Basketball Team have stormed League IV. 38, having a perfect 8-0 Mark, winning over perenial powerhouses Pandabear and there Rival DK Devils. I.A.M News spoke to Coach Rose, The 2 Season Coach for this Cinderella Team.
"As a player, I used to enjoy reading what the NBA legends like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Dr. J had to say about certain aspects of the game. Their words truly motivated me as a player.

"As a coach, I always look to coaching legends like Coach John Wooden, Coach K, and Coach Bobby Knight for words of inspiration and motivation. Their basketball quotes, along with the quotes of many other coaches and players, have always had a major influence on the way I coach and approach the game of basketball. The Team were downheartend at the Below average proformence LAST season, being religated is never good. This Season however we turned it around. My goal is to have a PERFECT season, so i pushed the team hard and they responded well. I didnt change the team much because we had only been together for Half a season, but when i first came to the Club of course i made some changes. The first changes i made was i bought two Forigners, Massimo Orlandi. The Biggest Loss for The Club was Losing Superstar Shooting Guard John Douglas, but he has moved on to play for a Cyprus CBBA League Team and we wish him the best.
As for the rest of the season, lets just see what happens."

Coach Rose
