ELMIRA BULLDOGS, ALONG WITH RODMAN, PLAY TWO AT FIRST ARENA IN FEBRUARY!!! |
FORMER NBA GREAT DENNIS RODMAN TO COACH BULLDOGS
ELMIRA, NY ~ The
First Arena is pleased to announce that the First Arena will be home to
the Elmira Bulldogs of the Eastern Basketball Alliance (EBA) for two
games during the 2010 EBA season. The Bulldogs will be playing the Garden City Rebels on Friday, February 12th & the New York Wizards on Saturday, February 13th, 2010. Both contests will also mark the coaching debut of former NBA great Dennis Rodman. Rodman
will be guiding the Bulldogs for both nights while Head Coach &
General Manager James R. Schutz takes the “night off”.
The
ever-colorful, flappable Rodman, also known as “The Worm” played for
the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles
Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. He was known during his NBA career for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities. Rodman
played the forward position in the NBA while earning NBA All-Defensive
Team honors seven times and was voted NBA Defensive Player of the Year
twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA Championships.
“I am honored to be able to give my childhood hero Dennis Rodman my head coaching position for two games,” stated Schutz. With a grin, the Bulldogs coach added, “He has a lot more rings then I have. Five more, to be exact.”
Rodman’s
agent Darren Prince, CEO of Prince Marketing Group, said that his
client is looking forward to coaching the Bulldogs to victory in
February. Rodman quoted, “I wanted the
opportunity to be a coach and now that the Elmira Bulldogs have given
me that chance I plan on showing them they made a very smart decision. I know a lot of teams will be interested in Coach Rodman when the weekend is over.”
“I think it is great for Elmira and the First Arena to have Dennis Rodman come to our area,” said First Arena General Manager Robbie S. Nichols. “There are not a lot of men that have won five NBA Championships. I am sure Rodman will be a treat to watch.” Nichols finalized the proceedings with a smile on his face, “Get your tickets early!”
Tickets for the highly publicized contests will be going on sale Monday, August 3rd,
2009 beginning at 10:00 am at the First Arena Box Office and at all
ticket master locations nationwide. Ticket prices for both contests are
slated at $200.00 for Golden Circle Seats (which will include a
post-game meet and greet with Rodman), $49.00, $30.00 & $24.00. For more information on the Bulldogs two game set at First Arena, please go to www.firstarena.com, www.elmirabulldogs.com or www.easternbasketballalliance.com.
