Title
Texas Association of Basketball Coaches
Description
The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches was borne amidst a strong desire of a small group of basketball coaches in the state to see the sport of basketball attain a semblance of recognition that it enjoyed in other states. It was during a basketball clinic sponsored by the Waco Chamber of Commerce that a group of less than 200 men assembled together and pledged their untiring support to seeing the sport achieve the ranks of credibility. Goals were lofty but perseverance was plentiful, and so, with a burst of optimism that would excite even the most eternal pessimist, the association was conceived. The month was April; the year was 1975.
Growth was slow during those first few years and the association struggled mightily to get the recognition from the press that it so avidly desired. The Waco Chamber continued to sponsor the clinic and TABC hung onto its coattails, hoping to gain new membership as a by- product. Goals continued to be set...a longer playing season, approval of summer camps and leagues, a genuine Top Ten list carried by the wire services. Lofty goals they were and needless to say, they were still years away.
A small group of girls coaches showed interest in joining in with the previously all- male TABC group in 1979 and so it was in 1980 that the association's board of directors voted to recruit girls coaches with vigor and add girls coaches to its board. Promising results were seen that first year and soon the membership goal of 1000 coaches seemed to be realistic. In 1981 the association voted to hire Alton Ballard, who had been editor of the association's newsletter since its inception, as its Executive Director, a post he still holds today. With someone now on staff to spearhead membership drives and coordinate other efforts, the hope was great that growth would soon become as steady as the membership would have it be.
