The Nigeria basketball federation has revealed that, it has learnt a lot of lessons from the just concluded in faraway Tokyo.<\/p>\n
When asked if the federation had learnt any lesson from the Olympics? During a personality interview on the FCT Football update platform Caretaker Chairman Engineer Musa Kida answered: \u201cthere are very hard lessons learnt from the Olympics. Our team would have done much better than the performance we put up there.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy little disappointment was that we were unable to come out of the group.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria did suffer a setback in terms of having the required officials during the game, going to the Olympics we are advised by NOC that we are entitled to only 3 officials, the General Manager and two Coaches basically.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhereas the full complement of FIBA which we are used to are not there that have 12 players and nine officials<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not have that; we didn\u2019t know that it was going to be hard core, but I am very proud of the players. The games were very well contested, palm for palm but I think we were unable to compliment them from the bench.\u201d He explained.<\/p>\n
