The development of Basketball at Newcastle-under-Lyme College within the last year has been huge through the formation of Newcastle-under-Lyme College Knights. It was approved to enter division four of the EBL and has been representing the college in the midlands structure of the competition during the 2011-2012 season.
The club is being coached and ran by former NBA and Harlem Globetrotter, Shawn Jamison, who is also the college’s Basketball Academy Head Coach. Shawn's update of the season so far is below:
"The Newcastle Knights have now completed the first half of there inaugural season in the EBL National league in division 4, and currently sit in 6th place in the West Midlands Division. As a coach I would have to say I am very proud of our guys so far, as they have shown the commitment to play at a higher level. In saying that I expect much more from the guys during the second half of the season. We have shown we can compete with every team that has been put in front of us this year, we just have to be smarter on the floor and make better basketball decisions. I am really looking for a strong finish from the guys for the second have of the season"
