NBA SPORTS PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION2 National Basketball Association Program: Administrative Decision Among the issues that face the NBA Sports Program is the management of the association human resources; more so the conformity of the players to the one-and - one rule of the association. it is admittedly right that the players at the NBA association are talent oriented and the one-and -one rule stating that an NBA player can only be at least nineteen years of age bring about some discontentment or players feeling like they are denied chances to play, rather (McGowan and Mahon, 2009) The decision on the rule of cause has both bright and shiny sides. As a matter of fact, a player at nineteen years is obviously out of high school; and going to college or university. To my opinion, I think the rationale behind commissioner Silver is that, before someone joins the NBA association as a professional basketball player, they should have gone through at least high school education. I think this is very important and a rational decision because, at high school, the players get trained, gain confidence and also gain knowledge that would even make it easier for them to make it at the association. At high school level, a student gets exposure to so much; more than even the basketball that they could be talented in. Still holding upon my support for the one-and-one rule, most student with talents join colleges and schools to be trained at school level even before joining the association as professional. This has brought about the urge of pursuing education as an additional to personal talent. Moreover, at the association, competition is stiff, setting the pace of incorporating basketball with education is of great benefit in that

Students’ Comments Two of my classmates’ comments are as follows: Lexie comments, “I support the Commissioner’s stand, education takes priority.” My response,” I second you, without education, there won’t be competence in the game.” Sam comments,” I oppose the move. If I were the commissioner, I could focus on talent because talent can provide for quality living even to those who are not educated.” My response, “Ever leader has his own leadership moves, but I would be a rival to your moves. Education is important in every field.” Classmates Response to the Administrative Decision Opposed to my view are some of the students’ comments to the post where one of my classmates says that if someone if talent oriented, they should be given the chance and not waste time on going to school, gain knowledge they will apply nowhere in life. Another rational fellow holds upon the Commissioner saying the decision of great impact because there are many basketball players who have other professions in addition to the game.
