First female trainer in Japan eyes coaching job in NBA
Posted: February 24, 2012 at 2:48 pm
TOKYO: Just 157cm tall, Natalie Nakase (pic) has never let her size stand in the way of her big dreams on the basketball court.
And now the 31-year-old American and first female head coach in Japan�s professional men�s league, has her sights set firmly on the NBA.
If her dream comes true, it would be another breakthrough for women in sport as the National Basketball Association, the sport�s premier league based in North America, has never had a female head coach or assistant coach.
There have only been some women in such positions in the NBA�s minor league.
�I�m starting to realise that I have the responsibility of giving women hopefully a chance to see that they can do it too, even not in basketball,� the five-foot-two Nakase said.
�It could be in a working field.�
�Being a part of a programme in the NBA, reaching the highest level in your sport, I think, that�s definitely a goal of mine,� said the former point guard from the University of California at Los Angeles.
Nakase has been piloting the Saitama Broncos of the Japanese league since November when she was promoted from assistant coach to replace Dean Murray when he was fired.
But things are not going all that well at the moment.
The Broncos lost 94-84 to powerhouse Osaka Evessa at home on Sunday to leave them languishing second from bottom in the league�s 10-team eastern conference with nine wins and 23 defeats in the October-April season.
They have never finished above fourth place in the seven years the league has been going in a country where baseball, sumo and football tend to push others out of the limelight.
But Nakase remains hopeful. �Our confidence is growing as we�re playing close to some of these high ranking teams,� she said.
�It�s still a long way ahead.�
Her life as a coach began in the women�s top league in Germany in 2008 after a knee injury cut short her playing career.
A three-year captain at UCLA, she also played for two seasons for San Diego and San Jose in the now defunct National Women�s Basketball League.
She coached a women�s team in Germany for two seasons before coming to Japan � where her grandparents were born � in 2010 to visit her friend Darin Maki and his wife.
Maki was playing for the Tokyo Apache and he introduced her to their coach, American Bob Hill, who has previously coached four NBA teams.
Nakase served as an assistant coach under Hill for one season before the Apache folded. She joined the Broncos for the current season.
�I think it�s all about being able to connect with players and learning about how to manage different personalities - more than men versus women,� she said, comparing her experiences with women�s and men�s teams.
�Men are just more competitive and outspoken, which is a good thing.�
Her former coach at UCLA, Kathy Olivier, has told the Los Angeles Times that Nakase has the persistence to survive in the men�s game.
�Only Natalie can do that,� said Olivier, who now coaches at Nevada Las Vegas. �She�s tiny but her heart�s as big as a six-(foot) eight (inch) (203 cm) kid.�
Nakase said she remained in close contact with Hill, who now works in China, through emails �once or twice a week.�
�I wouldn�t bet against her,� Hill told the daily about Nakase�s NBA dreams. �She�s beaten the odds her entire life.� � AFP

Posted: at 7:09 am
Omar Terywall, of Cambridge, wins the prizes
The News teamed up with BT to find out how you like to stay active in your local park – and what a great response we had!
Readers were asked to send in their pictures as part of the contest which helped promote the free Coaching for Life app.
The winning image was sent in by Omar Terywall, from Fen Ditton.
Omar said: “This shot of me leaping over (and scaring the heck out of) my children was taken by my friend. It was taken on the common by Abbey pool where I play football, frisbee and cricket with the kids . . . and as much as it annoys them, I enjoy power-kiting on my land board.”
The prize was a fantastic new 16GB iPhone 4S and coaching kit. Photos were judged on their artistic merit as well as how they creatively portrayed park-based activities.
Coaching for Life is a free smartphone app available from the iTunes or Android stores at http://www.bt.com/coachingforlife.
It includes 12 activities for indoor or outdoor pursuits and tips about how to improve your coaching style. BT’s Coaching for Life resources are part of Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme for schools and colleges acrossthe UK.

With retirement looming, Baber concentrates on playoffs
Posted: at 7:09 am
Deb Baber wants to postpone talking about life after coaching basketball.
The Westside girls head coach, however, knows retirement is rapidly approaching. The 58-year-old will retire after this season, which could end as early as Friday when her Seminoles travel to Westover for the first round of the GHSA Class AAA tournament.
“I’m not going to think about it being over until after (the season ends),” she said. “I’m thinking about it not being the last game.”
Regardless of whether or not that final game comes in Friday or a few weeks later in the Final Four at the Macon Coliseum or somewhere in between, Baber will leave Westside with one of the most impressive and unique coaching résumés in Middle Georgia history.
The Seminoles advanced to two Final Fours under Baber, including a run to the state championship game in 2005, when they lost to Etowah. They made the playoffs in eight of the past nine seasons and won 20 or more games six times since 2004.
“She’s a bulldog out there, a heck of a competitor,” former Westside athletics director and football head coach Robert Davis said.
“She did a great job, putting our program on the map.”
Baber’s road to glory at Westside was anything but a straight one. When she took over the basketball program when the school opened, Baber hadn’t coached basketball in 17 years. As a 44-year-old at the time, Baber felt like one of the oldest “rookies” in coaching.
“You step away from something for so long, you kind of need to relearn things,” Baber said. “I was a novice.”
Baber had success, however, as a young coach.
Following her graduation from Augusta State, Baber took over the Butler girls team in her native Augusta as a 23-year-old. The Bulldogs won three games the year before she took over, but they were in the Final Four in the second year, losing to South Gwinnett on a last-second basket. She spent three years at Butler, one at a school in Minnesota and one at Evans.
Baber wanted to start work on a doctorate degree at Georgia, so she left basketball coaching at 28. After earning the degree in adult fitness, Baber moved on to Valdosta State, where she coached softball, and then Kennesaw State before landing a job in the wellness program with the Bibb County board of education. She went to Fort Valley State for two years before Westside opened and needed a girls basketball coach.
“I was content with the path I took,” Baber said. “It was a very rewarding path. But I would go to games at the Coliseum, and I just started salivating. I wanted to get back into it.”
Baber was a marathon runner, competing multiple times in the Boston Marathon and Peachtree Road Race, so she wouldn’t shy away from the hard work needed to start a program. She pulled out her notes from her years at Butler. She attended coaching clinics, watched videos and read coaching books to brush up on anything she lost or forgot from the long coaching layoff.
Baber and Westside didn’t have it easy from the start, getting thrown into competition with established programs such as Baldwin, Northeast, Southwest and Warner Robins.
“We had an uphill battle, and I was very nervous at the start,” Baber said. “We were just praying for a win somewhere along the way.”
The Seminoles went 5-18 the first year, but Baber cited players such as Kristy McCorkle, who now helps coach alongside Baber, and Joy Jones for putting in the hard work that set the Seminoles in the right direction. They won 15 games the second year and 18 a year later.
“From that point on, we were pretty successful,” Baber said. “There was something about the first group. They came in and were ready to work. They really made it happen. They set the bar high.”
Players such as Ashley Duhart, L’Teisha Holloway, Jelisa Caldwell and Brittany Ferguson helped take the program to another level and then made sure it maintained an elite status, Baber said.
Baber, who is 341-169 in her career, said she just now feels like it’s the right time to step away. She believes the program is in good shape now, with a good group of sophomores returning to hand it off to someone else. Baber thinks current assistant Candice Roberson should get the job.
“I think she would do a great job,” Baber said. “She’s young, has a lot of energy. She should do fine. I feel good about where we are as a program. I just hope I have a few more weeks of coaching left.”
