Saintsfan Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 The USA lost to Great Briytain in the quarter finals of the Paralympic wheelchair basketball competition. The coach of the GB team coached my local team when I was a kid. He even coached at my school for a bit. So I have been coached by an olympic (Ok paralympic!) Basketball coach!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrbaseball Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I would like to see them play the Paralympic events during the regular Olympics, when all the crowds and international media are still there, so people could actually see the events.

See Red Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 My TV is usually on Fox, NBC, the ESPN Channels, ABC, and Comedy Central -- so I wouldn't know, really -- but I don't think they show any paralympic coverage in the US. I didn't even know they had started yet -- so no commercials, or I haven't caught them while channel surfing or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
