Description
A mentoring program (2003) has been developed by BCAM to help new coaches deal with the many concerns that they must face. Experienced coaches will be serving as mentors to younger coaches. It is BCAM's hope that this program will encourage young coaches to stay in the profession.
Our membership is kept informed of our many activities by a quarterly newsletter (1976) sent to all members. It is a first-class publication and serves the membership well.
The BCAM website (1998) (www.bcam.org) continues to grow as a service to members. Each year more information is available to members. The website will continue to grow as an important communication link for BCAM members. Awards and nomination forms are also available to members online.
Throughout recent years (1989-07) we have added corporate sponsors to help with our finances. The companies are Rawlings Sporting Goods, Gatorade, Wendy's, the Detroit Pistons-Detroit Shock and New Balance. Their financial support, in return for our endorsement, has helped BCAM to expand its programs while keeping our dues low.
It is the policy of BCAM to support all levels and areas of basketball. Therefore, we have adopted a non-discriminatory policy (1991) which states: "It is the policy of the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan that no person shall on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex or handicap, be excluded from selection, be denied nomination or admission to, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity."
The Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan is alive and well. It is well-respected among schools, communities, other associations in Michigan, and other associations around the country. We will continue to support the sport of basketball, the players, and the coaches as much as our resources will allow.
