i would personally say its a well constructed email which shows maturity and humbleness.

Where does para & trojans stand?Are we going one more week or not? These are the scenerios that have changed and if you cant see that, i apologise for this. This therefore requires you to draft a new fixture showing how the situation has changed and what will happen. This is what i had asked to do earlier this week but since we seem to see differently, i wonder how the games will go ahead beause there is a little confusion here as far as the fixture is concerned. Ofcourse, you need to have a fixture to tell your teams to come and play. Basketball is an organised sport and you play according to fixtures. You plan according to fixtures. There is a reason why we need to know the entire fixture before and not on the day of the games. Its a game and it requires strategy. My team is diiferent form your team, you can easily mobilise your players in a second while i cant. its a fact, George will need time to call everyone to tell them about the games. Make sure you call George about the fixture too, he is the Captain. In coaching there is a philosophy called Scouting which uses fixtures alot, Mimbulu as a team needs to know who they play when so that we can scout and plan. Besides, you will not be there on saturday to coordinate these games and the people you are handing over, i am not sure they will handle the games like you could have, we saw this the last time the games were played. So, if asking for a fixture well in time is an offense, i apologise but if it was soemthing that should have been done. Osakwiya, keep up the good work, everyone wasnts to see basketball develop!
