Proposed Schedule Change for Turkish Basketball League
To/Against/For: For the Change
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of the players, I would like to propose a schedule to be in effect starting after the Turkish Cup (March 28th) until the end of the season- playoffs included. There are over 30 WNBA players that will leave here and continue play this summer with their respective WNBA teams. Only a few players have guaranteed contracts, and the others are signed to training camp contracts, which is hard because with our season going so long over here, some people may not make teams because of missing training camp. As it stands, even as guaranteed players, we are subject to be fined for missing training camp. However, our commitment to our teams, the organization, and the Turkish Basketball Federation is one that we all feel strongly about, so this is a way to fulfill our contracts on both ends.
Please review the proposed schedule and make changes accordingly. The WNBA training camp opens up on April 25th with the games beginning on May 15th. With the new schedule, we would be done playing by 15 May 2010 and would still allow us to be back to catch the start of the games on May 15th. Thanks for reading our letter, and I truly hope that we can come to an agreement so that everyone is satisfied. If you have any questions, feel free to reach me via our team manager for Galatasary Basketball.
Sincerely,
Tamika Catchings
WNBA Players Association President
