Dominic thanks for talking to German Hoops You just completed your rookie season in Germany. What were your first thoughts after the tough 70-66 loss to Crailsheim? Possibly thank god this roller coaster rookie season is over?

No problem. Thanks for the opportunity. My first thoughts after the game was what we could have done differently to come out with the win. I was more thankful for the opportunity to play for Limburg then upset about the season.

Limburg gave a another great effort, but came up short again losing it´s fourth close game in a row. Did you sometimes think that the basketball God was purposely trying to scold the team by putting some type of curse on the team in crunch-time?

That’s an interesting way to look at it but sometimes things just don’t go your way. We had opportunity to win games but made some mistakes that resulted in losses.

Dominic thanks for talking to German Hoops. Where are you at the moment and how is your summer going?

I am still in Australia and won’t go home for another month.

In school you were a kind of nomad playing at 3 schools  Furman (NCAA), USC Aiken (NCAA2) and Co.Georgia (NAIA). After your rookie season in Australia you are in Germany now. Do you have the feeling you might go the same route as a professional bouncing around from team to team and country to country?

I only transferred schools because of coaching changes. I will let my career take its course and I will make those decisions as I go.
