My First Hoop Experience - WBCBL - ATL (Part 1)

Let's talk about how this division of this league set me back basketball wise almost a whole year. No name will be named the the league name will be since it is responsible. Promises were broken, jobs were left, money was lost and time was wasted. I graduated from Berea College with a Business degree and a very promising career at hand if pursued. But instead I chose to pursue basketball after a very successful basketball career at Berea. So I left for ATL the day after I graduated. With promises from this division of the WBCBL that housing would be provided as well as help with finding a temporary job for the summer. From the start it was falling apart before we as a team, my team, step foot on a court. I should have got out then but nope... Anyhow the person making all the promises was nothing but a bon a fide hustler who thought he knew what he was doing. He was not only suppose to be the director of this division but he was suppose to be the coach of our team. In a few short days of me being down there (because most of my team had been down there from NY, NJ, LA, AL, IL) it all fell apart. The house, one house for the whole team, was not livable, no one had jobs, no one knew ATL and we were far away from anything including where we were playing the games. None the less, he was fired as our coach and the director of the WBCBL division after many complaints two days after I had been in the ATL. We thought everything would be OK after this but some questions still remained...Who would be the new director? Would the league still exist? Where would we stay? How do I adapt from Louisville, KY which was home, to ATL? Should I just go home?
