The Humphrey Long Invitational Tournament has been created as part of the new England Talent Programmes (ETP) and the Under 14s tournament is taking place at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester on the 7th & 8th August 2019.
The tournament is named after the legendary English basketball coach Humph Long, who sadly passed away in 2018. Coaching well into his 80’s, Long was a figure head in the English basketball coaching community, particularly with the East London Royals and helped the development of countless international players.
He was awarded several lifetime achievement awards for his work, including a Golden Jubilee award from the Tower Hamlets Borough Council for his services to the community through sporting achievement.
The schedule for the tournament is as follows, and this table will be updated with results as they come in:
