NCAA and NBA to invest $15 million each over 5 years in Youth Basketball

Over the next 5 years, the NCAA and NBA will each invest $15 million to fund training and oversight of coaches, officials, families and players.    The money will be used to create a corporation that will provide the training and oversight as well as educational efforts.
