It's foolish to think the Japan Basketball Association understands what it takes to build a successful men's basketball program.
It's even more idiotic to believe the JBA will take any positive steps in the years to come.
Therefore, there is only one logical solution: It's time for JBA's top leaders, including deputy president Yushi Samuro, secretary general Takashi Kiuchi and president Taro Aso (yes, that Taro Aso, the prime minister) to resign immediately from their posts. The JBA needs new leadership, led by individuals who truly care about building a real national team, featuring the nation's best JBL and bj-league players.
