New Delhi, Aug 7 (IANS): With the assistance of the international basketball federation (FIBA), the Basketball Federation of India (BFI) and its state associations will conduct five coaching certification courses through August and September.
This marks the second time the BFI has organised such courses, having hosted two in December 2013 and two more in March 2014.
