All,
Everyones not happy with the decisions made a couple weeks back. Well whatever happened... it's done!
First
Safi is a baller no doubt and is one of the best point guards. (being his teammate the past tournament)
The thing is he never showed up the second day which hurts because it was announced that it is a full two days which ali amiri...zo...etc were all there!
Second
Honestly instead of trying to criticize the team and throw all the problems on Yousof why not just support the country and just except the way things turned out to be. ITs the first year we put a team together of course it's not going to be as organized or have great coaching!
It shouldn't be people hating.....quitting ....or disrespecting people. Its basketball guys!
If you wanna continue putting down the coach... diss me or the team than do it. Its just showing no class....and immaturity.
At the same time it's that easy to wish the team good luck or not say anything period.

Mass,
The jerseys that you guys will put on says AFGHAN NATIONAL TEAM. If it was WCH, AFG Ballers or OC Wrath then no one would give a crap as to who the coach is and what players were selected.
The Afghan Community has every right to express and voice their concerns about the process of selecting players and coaches. This does not mean that we're "immature" or that we have "no class" as you put it.
Truth of the matter is: You , Farhad, Safi , Nawid, and a bunch of other youngsters are the future of AFG Basketball. How would you guys feel if in the Future Jamal and the Toofoners (as an example) put together a team in a matter of like 1 month and called it the Afghan National Team? That's basically what happened this time and so we want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. I think that about 7-9 of the players deserve to be on the team and the rest are very arguable including the coaching selection. So, the point I am trying to make is we are disgusted with the way things went down so we are voicing our opinions. This is just within the community, I have never and will never criticize you guys or the AFG National Team to the outside world. I will always support you guys but it doesn't mean that I or everyone else agrees with who should and shouldn't be on the team.
Love and Respect kid, Best of Luck in the Tourney.
