London-2012: Basketball Coach, Bakare Resigns After Flop by ayodinho91: 5:57pm On Aug 09, 2012
Nigeria national basketball team coach, Ayodele Bakare, has yesterday announced his resignation as team coach at the end of an encounter against France that marked their exit from the Olympic Basketball tournament.

The coach explained that he was resigning for main reasons:


“First, I have been fortunate to be the first Nigerian coach to take this team to an African championship and second, I am also the first coach to take the men's team to an Olympics. I want to say that l have seen it all as a coach. Nigeria has won eight championships and l have been privileged to win seven out of the eight as a coach,” he said.

He is yet to inform the Nigeria Basketball Federation officially so that they can hire another coach to continue from where he stopped.

Nice performance Bakare and thank your for all your contribution to the development basketball in Nigeria. If the news is true then thing may be getting betterfor Nigeria, for a coach to resign and not sack.

Oh! He's not resigning as a result of the defeat, but cos according to him he has seen it all with the team....how convenient! Would he still have taken this step if his team won a medal in the Olympics?#thinkingoutloud

Much respect fσr the coach.

It takes a man ϯo admit his mistakes anϑ a biggeer man ϯo atone fσr his mistakes.

Politicians with worse implicating goofs annd mistakes added with criminal acts of corruption have ϯo borrow a leaf from such.

Hmmm.. a few come ϯo mind angry

He had better be. Cos he ll be sacked anyway when he returns. Don't know who to blame for Team Nigeria's failure. Let's just move forward, put things in place & prepare harder to avoid another draught of medals in 2016.

Did I hear him say he has seen it all? Has he seen Olympic gold, silver or even bronze
Or he doesn't know what seeing it all means ni?

Anyways, he's got achievements & I think he tried his best.
Seriously, That US thrashing is unbearable

Gbam!! I don't know why we always expect something from football too when our talent discovery is zero, youth development bad, a very poor league and mediocre players who don't even play for big teams.
Our problem is we always expect to win miraculously even when we've done nothing to warrant a win.

Why resign?
We are so fond of running away from challenges, giving in to our failures as opposed to dusting up self and try again. It sucks!
Goodluck to him.

the man gave his best.from what i heard,he personally took charge of most of the arrangements for the team's training,flights etc because the NBBF wasnt forthcoming.he had hinted before the olympics that hhe will leave the team after the olympics so itss not a suprise.i am certain no federation in their right senses would have thought of sacking bakare.he deserves to be applauded

Some of these halfwits don't realise the loss was akin to the Brazil team of 2002 with talents like the 3Rs (Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho), Cafu, R. Carlos etc beating a Mali WC debutant team 13 goals to 4, with Ronaldo (Carmelo) being on utter fire that day.
