Hon Fraser League postponed until further notice
Games were scheduled for this evening, September 27, 2015, however, in a statement issued to the media a few minutes ago the League disclosed that all games in the League have been suspended until further notice.
“The Hon Julian Fraser Save the Seed National Basketball League has announced that all Basketball Games played at the Save the Seed Centre in Duff's Bottom, effective immediately (including the games tonight Sunday 27, September 2015), have been postponed until further notice.
“We regret the inconvenience and will have an announcement this week on the future of the League,” the email stated.
Meanwhile, League Commissioner Rajah A. Smith said he had not received all the details of the postponement and could not give any comment.
In an invited comment, however, Chairman of the Hon Julian Fraser Save the Seed League Committee Mr Julian Willock said the postponement had to do with concerns of indiscipline among players.
“The directors and co-founders Hon Julian Fraser and Bishop John I. Cline want to do a reassessment of the League because there have been some issues of indiscipline. There have been some issues with the lack of respect for the game, the fans, the referees’ authority, so the directors want to do a reassessment as to where we are and what corrective measures may need to be taken and whether teams in general are serious about playing by the rules and exhibiting good sportsmanship,” Mr Willock told Virgin Islands News Online.
Hon Fraser said: "Games scheduled for tonight will be postponed to a date not yet determined, result of circumstances outside the control of the League."
The League, in its 3rd year of staging, is nearing the playoffs with defending champions Bayside Blazers unbeaten so far. Other teams that seem keen on preventing a Blazers repeat include Warriors, Run it Red, West Gunners and ESplash Brothers.

Cussing and carrying on in the church. Hope they shut it down forever. MVW probably laughing his a$$ off!
Only in Tortola, he was quiet as a church mouse in college. Guess the real thugs in Florida had him intimidated. Him and the other crazy acting dude that went to Warner.
A couple years ago a whole team of players were suspended over a similar incident. R. ..h and crew what's good for the goose good for the gander.
un-necessary calls towards the player in results of that conflict and un-rudely behavior will occur. anyone in the organization should not have a team nor have anything to do with a team. stay in the committee and fix the rules. the league would be much better if run like so. the west gunners is the team to beat the whole committee is against the team. fraid they must be. and if the they didn't notice the y are the ppl champ. no other team have broken or scored more point than them put together.
