Outlawz new head coach
April 15, 2004
The Johnson County Outlawz will have a new head coach for the 2005 season interm coach Tim Lane did a good job this season but the team will need a non player head coach to keep moving forward Lane may be a player assistant next season if he is sign'ed the team has already started looking at positions that they need to fill inorder to get to the top a true center and a power forward are on the list the guard play was good this season with James Whitfield and point Brent Nugent up top but the team lost some games this season because of no low post player to take over the game when the three's stop falling they couldn't out rebound opponets.Chris Lewis is one of the coaches the team is looking at he brings a lot of knowledge with him and contacts with solid players.
Outlawz looking at Lane in small roll!
April 17, 2004
Tim Lane will play the small forward position on the 2005 team roster he had to play center this season but the team is already working on putting the pieces in place that it will need to keep improving a true center and a power forward are high on the list and then it's about a solid second line of players that can contribute another true point guard is needed Brent Nugent will be resign'ed at the point and will battle for the starters roll with who ever the team brings in the shooting guard position will be a battle as well James Whitfied was the starter this season and had his high's and low's but he is a player and we know he will step his game up he had things going on this season so his game was off a little .D.Martin and Ryan Murrow while are good players but what position do they play both can play small forward or guard and the young players who improved this season Juillan Johnson and Franks the 3rd showed they can get better both are guards it will be interesting to see with all the new players that will come into training camp in February how it shakes out the one thing that is for sure is that the team will be better.
Regulators give up 18 point lead
April 22, 2004
In a game that was clear on the out come from the opening tip changed in the last 3 minutes of the game a foul call that Regulators David Peoples thought was a call for him went to a technical shot for the A Guarantee team and a 2 point swing Peoples went to the line to shoot 2 free throws made the first shot when the officals stepped in and made a call that the wrong player was shooting the ball and it was done on purpose. Regulators Ronald Brenning was the player that should be shooting they said and called a technical foul on the Regulators A.D. Coleman made both of his free throw shoots to put the A Guarantee ahead by 5 points and the game.The Regulators led by Dayo Holloway and Ronald Brenning scoring at will and when they wanted too the lead by halftime was 10 and the Regulators looking as if it was just a matter of running the clock out the A Guarantee team made a run but could not cut the lower than 8 points as the Regulators kept scoring but in the last 3 minutes some turn overs by the Regulators gave the A Guarantee the chance they needed as the lead was cut to 3 points with the Regulators looking like they were about to close the game out from the line when the call came from the officals final score 75-70 Holloway finished with 22 points for the Regulators,the loss left coach Tom Robinson shaking his head and saying this team hasn't got the finish the job when you have team down set of mind .But he said I'm happy that this is over so we can get to work closing the holes in this team some players looking to be on the team next season attended the game and as players will do they can hardly wait to get into off season workouts with the team to hopefully help close those holes in the team.

League merger off !
February 1, 2005
After a few weeks of conversation the merger sort of talks were discontinued what happen is the RDBL and ABA were not becoming one league but the logo and name was going to be used within the RDBL name while the two kept their idenity.But after a few weeks of bad press and other things going on within the ABA the name didn't seem to have that much going for it so the conversation went dead Williams said Joe Newman said he wanted to be in the spring/summer mix and so we visited about the possiblity of using the name with ours but after things started to fall apart in the ABA and Newman not wanting to answer questions on how to fix the the bad press we thought it best we stay apart after all we have what they don't TV coverage even though before the ABA season started they were saying they had ESPN and other TV media coverage.We broke off talks and wished each other the best one thing is for sure it takes a lot to operate a league but if teams are not ran by people who really know what it takes to make it all happen things can go bad really fast and we don't want to be the biggest spring/summer league just one that can finish the season with all the teams intact Williams said.

Press Release-League changing direction
February 15, 2005
After three years of building and having conversation with other minor leagues of basketball the RDBL will play on as an independent with two teams playing under the banner as a player development system.We have held talks with the USBL and what was like a bad dream ABA one set of talks were merger the other joining the league with four RDBL teams moving into the other league the RDBL was formed as a pro/am which allows the teams to operate and make a profit teams play game on television in there local market the Tarrant county Regulators will have shown 8 television games this season the fan base has grown each season and even more people watch the delayed braodcast of the games which allows the team to get sponsors.RDBL president Will Williams who is a TV sportscaster and owns a TV production company has said after visiting in conversation with other league's that since those league's are not in the business for the teams to become a better business for the owner he will wait until the right mix for both parties come alone after all we are already making a profit those teams operate in the Red we did try to schedule games with a few of them and they can't make trip's to us but we can travel to them.The CBA is the best one out there but all of those teams are too far away for a team in Texas to play a season with the cost on the teams would drive them out of business I would like to see the USBL which we had conversation with start a South division it would cut the travel on teams down and the teams from what should be a East would not see those teams until playoff time but those talks broke off after the over priced franchise fee couldn't be work'ed out so for now the 2006 RDBL season will consist of the Tarrant County Regulators and Johnson County Outlaws playing a 20 game independent schedule to showcase the teams players the teams will play any team from anywhere and all home games are televised with a plan to show selected road trip games on tape delay in those markets.The NDBL has had some contact with the league after all we do have something there teams don't we televise the games and any sports team needs that to generate money.The other two markets that will have RDBL teams still playing in 2006 are Odessa,Texas and Beaumont,Texas.
