Just when we thought it couldn't get any better... it did. All week long emails have been pouring in from across the continent with feedback on this year's tournament. Here's a small smattering of what we're hearing from coaches and chaperones who participated in last weekend's event:
"I think you have a problem. This year's tournament was so well done, I don't see how you can top it next year. From the changeover to using vans to a wonderfully balanced field of teams, this year's tourny was great.
I am sorry that I could not experience the community's hospitality but everyone I talked to said the same thing, how nice and warm and inviting thier hosts were. It is truely a wonderful testament to the Jewish community in Memphis."
"WOW!!! That is all I can say. The tournament was an amazing success and Daniella and I were both honored to participate.
The tournament’s high level of play, shabbos experience, and fabulous speakers would have been more than enough to make for a successful and enjoyable weekend, but you went above and beyond with your friendly smile and warm welcome. Thank you for your hospitality, hard work, and for making Daniella and myself feel like we were part of a team.
I look forward to speaking with you in the near future and visiting Memphis again soon."
"I just wanted to thank you for your most gracious southern welcome to the staff from Yeshiva University. Coach Halpert said that you made him feel like a rock star. Our reports were that it was a very successful tournament. I’m just disappointed that MTA didn’t win in the finals."
"I must say that because of you and the Cooper Yeshiva family, the athletes in general, and my players in particular, had the experience of a lifetime that they will never forget. Literally for the rest of their lives they will carry with them the warmest and finest memories of their time in Memphis."
"I want to thank you and all of the people who helped you with this year’s Cooper Tournament. The Flatbush team truly had an experience of a lifetime and not just from a basketball perspective. The messages delivered by all your speakers are those that I hope all tournaments will strive to deliver to all kids in the future. You and all the people associated with the tournament should be very proud of this great accomplishment."
"Once again let me tell you how impressed I am with the quality of this tourney. Your leadership has turned this into the best Jewish tournament in the country bar non! Not even N. Y. Can compete now that you went streaming! Congrats on a job well done.......again!!"
Our deepest appreciation again goes out to Tournament Director, Josh Kahane, for his remarkable efforts in putting the event together.
