Voorwoord Dear Arribans, Hopefully you all had a nice holiday and some rest to be ready for the second half of the season. You are about to read the third edition of the Arriblad this season. We are off to a good start of 2015, because we recieved a record amount of input from our readers! Keep this up and send your stories, gossip and quotes to [email protected]! This edition will cover the usual sections like the chicken­o­meter, quotes and the devilish dillema. Besides this, we have some special stories for you: If you want to know how to pick up girls, keep reading, because there will be a manual in this Arriblad! The recreational players sent us a shower picture of the ladies and they are the team in the spotlight. Enjoy! The Arriblad Committee EDIT: Recently you received an e­mail from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail it was also stated that the Arriblad would appear the following weekend. We have no idea where this idea came from, and we will make sure that Glenn will apologize accordingly. But honestly, the Arriblad had a first draft ready, when this mail was sent. And now we are writing again. Why? Because we wanted to give you more to read. Thus, several stuff can have a second “chapter”. Plus, we just keep on writing. We have a new addition in the Arriblad commitee, Redmar Vlieg. Redmar has a lot of experience writing for Arriba. He wrote a lot of stuff for the Lustrum booklet, and he is a great poet. If you feel poetic and you want to reach higher atmospheres, I suggest you read that shit. Now. Lastly, this Arriblad meeting would be the first meeting where we do not have chicken. Yes, we know. It is crazy. We were scared that our writing skills would be diminished by the lack of chicken. However, Gerben, currently third in the Chicken­o­meter, has a secret stash of chicken, which will be devoured shortly. Happy reading, little minions!

Your secretary speaks: Dear Arribans, How well does everyone know the members of the board? Of course I know them very well. A while back I’ve been asked to do a psychological analysis about our treasurer Jeroen, but that would make the lives of our chairman and match secretary very easy. That’s why I’ll also look at their psychological states and behavior. So when you’ve finished reading this you’ll know a lot more about them. Jeroen knows I’m writing this analysis and he asked me to be nice, but well that depends on my mood. Did you ever notice he talks a lot about a certain kind of fear, in particular a fear for the unknown. Yes, that sounds very scary, but Jeroen is not afraid of it, at least that’s what he says. I must say I do have my doubts about that. He’s hiding his fear by telling everyone else they have a huge fear of the unknown. So nice try Jeroen, but you are very scared of the unknown. My second point is that he has some aggressive tendencies. How do I know that? He did break two pairs of glasses in one practice. Some of you may know what happened, because you were there when it happened. If you weren’t there you will probably never know what happened exactly, because the story Jeroen tells is still very unclear. There is one more thing I’d like to warn you all about, but our treasurer can sometimes show some obsessive behavior. You might wonder what he’s obsessing about and I can tell you it is money. This obsession might just be the reason he wanted to become treasurer. Next up, is Glenn, also known as the board’s very own alcoholic. He can only sleep well if he has drunk more beer that day than Jeroen has drunk his famous Bitter Lemon. Every time Glenn fails at this task he has the worst nightmares and he can’t wake up in time for the board meetings. Another thing that keeps giving Glenn nightmares is that he never gets five personal fouls in a match. I have a feeling this is his biggest dream, but the referees keep messing it up for him. This makes him very sad and although he never told anyone about this I do know he did cry about this alone in a corner. Let’s just say he needs some help: Jeroen stop drinking Bitter Lemon and referees just give him those fouls. If that happens we will have a very happy match secretary. But Glenn, you also have to do some work yourself. You could steel Jeroen’s Bitter Lemon, drink more beer and be more aggressive on the field. I’m not giving you more hints, I think you can figure that out on your own. Of course I can’t forget to tell you something about our chairman. I expect you have noticed Dimitry is always very fanatic, not just when he’s playing a game, but seriously always. There could be two reasons for this. First of all he might be a terrible loser and it’s hard for him to lose any kind of competition, no matter what it is. This could be true, because when he has lost a game, he refuses to talk about it. It made him even drink beer once. It’s very obvious he avoids the subject of losing whenever it comes up. The second reason could be that his fanaticism is no more than a habit. He could have developed this as a consequence of an

Page 5: Voorwoord - DBV Arribadbvarriba.nl/downloads/Arribladsweety3.14 (2).pdfEDIT : Recently you received an email from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail

uncontrollable impulse to do sports. It’s hard to say what the future will look like for Dimitry, but if there comes a day he can no longer play basketball or do another sport, it won’t be pretty. I don’t think he’s a sad person right now, but if he has to control his impulse to sport, well he might become a little grumpy. Aniek Poort secretary D.B.V. Arriba Weird statistic of this Arriblad Basketball fans, or very selfish players, immediately check the stat sheet, to see how many points they scored, or continously want to know how many fouls they made (there is a certain lady tabler, who did not record my foul! I’m still mad about it, you know who you are). During some games, other stats get recorded, or are even being videotaped. All these video studies show us some awesome things. Normally, people look at assists, points, rebounds, turnovers (like traveling) and blocks. However, people tend not to look at blocks against a certain player. And this, is actually the weird statistic of this Arriblad. We looked at who got the most blocks against him or her, during one week. Surprisingly, this happened to one of the “centers” of Arriba. Could it be Sam from the third team, or the magnificent Bob from the second team, Lea from the ladies team? Or could it be, Davey the Brown, from the first team? Would he, as a committee member agree about us writing about such an embarrassing statistic? No, that couldn’t be true right? Before we tell you who it is, let me explain which day we took to look at this statistic. The new years tournament. Several people got blocked. Hans Wennemers, Gerben Hopman (actually, both by Nick, which is quite the feat, because he showed his fat ass can actually still jump) got blocked several times. Whenever he did not make traveling (or when the referee didn’t see it), Hans G. got blocked several times by several people. So he actually made it to the second place, of getting blocked the most. But the number one? He was probably the tallest person there, during the tournament. However, this did not stop him from getting blocked all the time. Literally all the time. Luc, the guy with the crazed afro, and the crazy hops, got him several times during his two games. At some point, it got so bad, that davey got blocked, while he, nor his team was even playing. It got so crazy, he needed to call his mom, who actually told him, that he deserved to get blocked like that, for not calling to home more often. Thus, Davey, you have the honor of this crazy statistic. Being the one, who got blocked the most, during the new years tournament.

Team in the spotlight: the recreationals The recreational team. Lot’s of people, no games, purely practice, pure fun. Starting basketball players, experienced basketball players, and very old players. Yes Marc, the Arriblad means you. The other committee members just told me not to hate too much on several members, who are old (still, Marc), or always trash talking (Maik), or always trying to be as good as their coach and shooting from mid­court (basically all the men). It’s funny how I notice that i have nothing bad to say about the ladies. They are always there, on time, share their chicken (see an sent­in piece) and usually dunk harder than the men. Which is quite easy, because no man can dunk, while Veronique did a 360 last practice, which got topped by Svenja, who did a 180, between the legs, double clutch windmill dunk. What can the Arriblad say about the recreationals. Well, being very close to the trainer, a.k.a. being the trainer himself, I can say the following: the recreational, is an amazingly fun team to give practice to. Most of the time, you will see them laughing, or being completely out of breath, or being annoyed because of the defensive drills. But mostly laughing. And another thing about the recreationals: the average level of them, is really high. The first few practices, I was testing them a bit with certain drills. Perfect is an overstatement, but they did very well! It made me proud. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, but that’s a story for a different time. On average, the practice is always very busy. At least 20 people will show up. This makes it hard to prepare a nice practice, and make everyone very tired, especially Jeroen (your treasurer). He has the energy level of a crazed, chihuahua which has rabies. And I mean that positively. He is awesome to have around during practices. Always present, always full energy, first one to come, last one to leave. Loves the banana drill (also without the drill), and will always be the first one to show how an exercise is done. Then others will show how it’s really done. Nothing but love for my treasurer. He’s the one who pay’s me for these high quality practices. It’s my goal to get him tired soon during a practice (other recreationals, be prepared). Obviously i’m not objective writing this. But honestly, the recreational team is an awesome team. The atmosphere is always really good. And I truly enjoy giving practice to them. And I believe they are better than the Third team (yes, shots fired, bring it on!) Magnificent Nicks!

News from the hospital and the first aid post The place where you do not want to be at 2:00 AM on a saturday night. The first aid post at the hospital. Sadly, several Arribanen paid the post a nice little visit because of bad landing or other mistips. This article will give you on overview of all the injuries Sprained Ankle Redmer Sprained his Ankle in the match against Risne Stars. Wanted to make a nice reverse but ended up in the hospital after a bad landing (being wheelchaired in the right image by Gerben). Could not play for 5 weeks. Charlotte Sprained her ankle during the match against Amical. Misstepped while sprinting to the basket. Gerben Sprained his ankle in the match against SVZW. Cooled his ankle with ice for 5 minutes and then continued playing before Bob subbed him for raging too much. Did not attend practices for two weeks but did play matches. Was he really injured or was he just a lazy drama queen? Jorien Hurt his ankle because his opponent stepped on it. Was out for about 2 months. Is now back at practice and hopefully will play matches for Arriba next season! Dislocated shoulder Janosh dislocated his shoulder for the first time in the match against Uitsmijters. Wanted to grab a rebound but his arms got stuck in the opponents arm. His shoulder decided to pop and had to be put back in the hospital. Could not play for several weeks. When he finally got back on the court, a similar event during practice made sure that his shoulder popped again. But as you know, three times is ships right. Last week he joined another practice and his shoulder popped during a layup. Surgery will probably be inevitable... More shoulder problems Jelle fell on his shoulder during day three of his snowboarding trip. Can no longer perform the Jelle Shuffle the way he used too, but should be back giving the opponents a good laugh soon.

Whiplash Another accident during the heren 1 practice. Wouter bumped into Dominique during practice and Dominique suffered a whiplash because of this. Is recovering but will probably not be playing this season. This is actually the second player Wouter knocked out this year, after first busting two teeths out of Sjoerd’s mouth. Wouter No one knows exactly what is wrong with him so we gave him a special section. Fell over Redmer’s leg against valley buck and landed on his head. Could not play for several weeks. When he was about to play again, he managed to fall of his bike. There are certain rumours about the cause, but we will not discuss this any further. Injured his hip and had to go into physiotherapy. Finally made his comeback in January. Dislocated Patella Already suffering from some weak knees, Xavier’s knee could no longer handle the beast inside him against Isala H3. Was stuffed full with morphine so that the patella could be put back in place. His leg is now plastered and will be so for the next few months. Sprained Thumb Bob is usually the victim during a basketball match. Already got knocked out against Twente Buzzards in the away game. The same thing almost happened at home. In the match against Picker Reds, after being in the field for 1.5 minutes, he wanted to stop a pass but the ball landed on his thumb. A sprained thumb was the result. Shin Splint Dunking can be cool. But too much dunking can hurt your legs, something both Marijn and Noud experienced. Noud was smart enough to take some rest before his injury got too serious, but Marijn is out for six weeks. Injury to the nose and lip Herson fell on the floor during the recreational practice. Injured his nose and his tooth made a nice little hole through his lip. Had to go to the first aid post where the hole was glued.

Ask the Arriblad! Dear Arriblad, This year I don’t score that much during games. So I watched a lot of NBA and now I get judged on my walking abilities. What can i do to improve this? With kind regards, Anonymous Dear Hans, To start, we think not only on the court you lack scoring abilities. Though we hope for you, you will make more buckets next half of the season. But see it from the positive side: You do see a lot of the world when you travel as much as you do. So keep your head up and enjoy the view. Lots of kisses, Arriblad

Dear Arriblad, I would like to file a complaint about one of the trainers, Dimitry Brons. This guy seems to think that my magnificent underhand lay­ups are inferior to normal lay­ups and tries to discourage me from doing them! He's probably just jealous because I make more 3­pointers than he does. Regards, Anonymous Hello Anonymous, First of all, thank you for your mail. We of the Arriblad agree, that Dimitry isn’t that good of a trainer, but he does do his best. However, I would advise you not to get a shot­practice from him, because he’s a stupid ex­korfballer. But, Dimitry is the current chairman. And seeing that this committee consists of the three former chairmen, we have to stick it in/up for him. All three former chairmen have his back (quite literally, actually). Therefore, we believe he is never jealous of your shooting. A true chairman, is happy for his members. Thus, quite obvious he is happy if someone makes more three pointers.

Last thing we want to say, if you want to send in an anonymous complaint, don’t send it via your own e­mail adress, mr. Tubeman. Best regards, The Arriblad.

Dear Arriblad, I heard there possibly was a Gala coming up this year. I am still in doubt on whether I want to attend it, but I also heard that there could be pole dancers at the Gala for and additional € 2,­. If this is the case I’m definitely going. I heard the treasurer already made an account for this, where can I donate? Regards, Anonymous Dear Anonymous There seem to be a lot of rumours going around about the Gala. Before we answer this question, we asked every Arriblad editor to vote whether they won’t a gala or not. Here are the results: Yes: 0 votes No: 0 votes Chicken: 6 votes As you can see, the result speaks for itself. Since we still don’t know if there will be a gala and the board seems to focus on unimportant stuff, you should spend the €2 on other nice things, like chicken! Regards, Arriblad

Dear Arriblad, I heard Nick used to be a great player. But then again, Gerben is a great player now, and Luc is a good player as well. In a game of one­on­one. Who would win? Greetings, Robert. Hello Robert,

Page 11: Voorwoord - DBV Arribadbvarriba.nl/downloads/Arribladsweety3.14 (2).pdfEDIT : Recently you received an email from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail

Great to see you are so active and want to know a lot of stuff about your coach. I can simply answer it by the following. Nick gets the most buckets. Hope this answers your question. Much love, The Arriblad Hello Arriblad! A while ago, I have sent you a mail regarding the gala and you’ve replied. Many thanks for that. As you might know, currently we are very busy programming the Gala. And it is going really well. Several people have already stated they will come, and we cannot wait to see everyone fully dressed up! However, now that we are busy planning it, someone from the board is constantly complaining regarding the Gala. What can we do about this? Regards, The Gala Hello Gala! First off, thanks for all your input in the Arriblad. We appreciate that we have at least one reader! All the men in this committee are former board members. So we appreciate everyone who shows initiative to do something. There are several things you can do. However, if you want so, Davey and Nick can speak with the board or this member. We’ll make sure as old members, that this certain person will listen, or at least will complain a lot less. We believe he should be happy with people showing initiative. On our behalf, we give you a lot of respect. Much love from the entire Arriblad committee! The night of an outsider at Arriba On a saturday night, I went to Sporthal 1 to witness the beautiful sport of Basketball. Of course, you Arribans might think this is somewhat natural, however as an outsider it is odd that a match can stay exciting till the very end. A 2­0 lead in soccer tends to make the team which is ahead, to feel satisfied and just play around, not focussing on more goals. A big difference with basketball. During this evening, I received a warm welcome from a group of (old) Arribans. That I prefer to drink wine rather than beer, is actually accepted. During this game, my lesson in basketball is mostly focussed on the quality of the referee. After the game, I saw many friendly faces of Arriba back at the Vestingbar. The love for chicken is once again portrayed and fondly spoken off. Later that week, when i went to the KFC, I saw the following:

Page 12: Voorwoord - DBV Arribadbvarriba.nl/downloads/Arribladsweety3.14 (2).pdfEDIT : Recently you received an email from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail

When I investigated further, I saw a sponsorship deal was signed with the KFC by miss Pony. I think these pictures, and the deal, are enough to warrant a discussion with the old treasurer, who just came back to the Netherlands! Anyway, back to the vestingbar. On this evening, Redmer was giving a party at home (which could be any given saturday). There was a tense atmosphere at the VB due to a lack of women. Due to this, and the fact that I snatched a chicken nugget, I was greeted by dangerous looks (editors note: several death stares, like the ones from Sjoerd). When I was speaking to a young, handsome man of Arriba ( he wants to stay anonymous, but looks like a Greece god / hobbit, and you will know him as Davey’s partner), I noticed several people looking conspicuous. I noticed that it wasn’t me who everyone was staring at, but my gorgeous conversation partner. If people are wondering why I was talking to him, it’s really simple: he isn’t that tall, so I do not get a stiff (insert bad joke) neck, which I do get from other Arribans. Suddenly, during our somewhat emotional conversation, we were interrupted by a 20 year old, red­haired person, who focussed solely on my conversation partner. Concluding that I became the third wheel of the wagon. Then everything moved quickly. The two men left outside to do something I shall not write here. Davey left emotionally, while Luc followed him quickly, trying to take advantage of the situation (or to go to Redmer’s party) and I was joined by another small Arriban, Glenn. Since Anonymous and his red­haired friend were hitting it on, I had enough, so I left towards home, slightly tipsy (after all, it’s an Arriba night), and thus here ends my knowledge of the evening. If you are interested in what happened next, I suggest asking Anonymous or Glenn. And you might want to ask the following questions:

Page 13: Voorwoord - DBV Arribadbvarriba.nl/downloads/Arribladsweety3.14 (2).pdfEDIT : Recently you received an email from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail

Who is miss Pony who signed the KFC sponsorship deal? Why is the contract signed on the birthday of the old treasurer? Will the current treasurer continue the deal? Why were 10.000 euros transferred to a Swedish bank account, where the old

treasurer was being let go of her duties? Did Glenn make it to his work in time the next day? (editors note: he left at 7, needed

to work at 12...) How did the adventure between the red­haired guy and anonymous pan out? Will Davey ever forgive Anonymous? Does Luc have besides his love for chicken, also some love for Davey? When will there be a straight couple within Arriba? Will Rene T. stay long enough next time to be part of the story?

Poem You play basketball with both your body and your mind. You need your body to throw the ball and run, and probably also a few more things. The mind is needed for navigation of your body, anticipating and overseeing the game. Being a good basketball player, it is mandatory to have trained mind. Therefore, a poem of great poise and beauty to sharpen and train that mind...

Fashion Failure As you know, everything is relative. Where last edition we hated on the Socks of our Hans Olo, this time we think about that as a breath of fresh air. For what we saw of at that heren 2 game, is nothing compared with the New years tournament. As an old proverb goes: It can alway get worse… Personally there is only one question that comes up to me: Why? Why did he do this? Why didn't anybody stop him, making this mistake? Why does this guy has a function in the board? Now just hope that this never happens ever again!

Edit: Since the New years tournament he has been spotted wearing his Yellow tiara of shame again. We would like to kindly ask our members to not encourage this kind of behaviour.

Devilish Dilemma Last time, the devilish dilemma was about respect. Against an opponent which you are totally annihilating by playing full court press, do you keep playing this full court press or do you use this opportunity to practice some other offences? We’ve gotten quite some e­mails from people who were talking about ‘respecting your opponent’, ‘sportsmanship’ and ‘a full court press is so tiring, why keep playing it when you can win without playing it?’ etcetera. By ip­tracking those e­mails we know that they all came from the: Heren 2 ( they don't have enough players to run a full court press), Heren 3 (they don’t have the stamina to play a full court press) and the Ladies team (they got destroyed by a full court press from Isala). All the people who stated that you should keep playing the press were playing in Heren 1. Answers like: ‘If I don't keep pressing, I’ll get benched’ were pretty common. Sadly, Bas was not reachable for comments regarding this topic since he was on another skiing trip. Concluding, 75% of Arriba is in favor of not continuing with the full court press. And now the devilish dilemma for this edition: As a basketball player, you always want to grab the rebound. But what happens if this really good looking guy/girl just came out of a relationship, and is also looking for a rebound. Do you still grab the rebound (accepting all the consequences) or do you sprint to the other side of the club for a fast break on someone else?

Gossip The Arriblad has noticed some romances are developing within Arriba, of course this might have something to do with the rumours about an upcoming gala. Even on the bench of the first team love is in the air. The Arriblad received this picture of some courtship behaviour along the court. We also seem to have some #swek within Arriba..

Chicken­O­meter December is always the month of the year in which a lot of food is consumed. Chicken is no exception. After the Heren 1 match against The Jugglers, many chicken nuggets were devoured. Twice that evening someone collected money to keep the chicken rolling in. Total account to about six buckets of chicken nuggets in one evening(this does not include the visit to the KFC one hour earlier). To keep the chicken­O­meter updated we still love to receive pictures of Arribans eating chicken. The arriblad got a lot of pictures from Luc. Apparently Luc eats a lot of

Page 20: Voorwoord - DBV Arribadbvarriba.nl/downloads/Arribladsweety3.14 (2).pdfEDIT : Recently you received an email from our game secretary, concerning the matches of the week. In this mail

chicken(shocking news (edit: is this remark racist?)). Unfortunately, the pictures he sends don’t show himself eating the chicken. Just buckets of chicken, but those could easily be found on the internet. Luc should take a example after Aniek. She even made a 18 minute long video of her eating a whole bucket by herself.

EDIT: We have deleted some stuff here, basically because we needed to revise it, due to all the stuff we’d gotten from several people, hoping to make an appearance in the chicken­o­meter. Before we’ll tell you who is in the top three, we will tell you what happened and what we’ve gotten from other people. Maik has gotten some minus points. Not because he eats a lot of chicken, but because he is one. (Like we’ve stated earlier, don’t challenge the coaches or you’ll feel our fury. If you go Nick­shaming, we’ll go Maik­Bashing ;) ). Moniek is back from Sweden, and she is challenging everyone for the Chicken­o­meter throne. She learned a few chicken recipes in Sweden and she is unwilling to share. Some state that her chicken tastes better than KFC’s hot wings. We have yet to taste her hot wings, so we’ll leave it at that. She does get points for this however, and she made to the fifth place. Nick has decreased his chicken consumption in 2015. 23 appearances in january is cutting back for him. Therefore he stays out of the top three, and is feeling competition from Moniek. So that brings us to the top three of the Chicken­O­Meter. Last time, Aniek was on top off Luuk and Gerben. And it’s a wild chase. Luuk and Gerben both wanted to be on top, and they have been chasing Aniek for a while, and it has become a close competition. They’ll be wrestling until the end of the season.

At number three, we still find Gerben. Like stated before, money to spend, chicken to eat. However, he made a promise not to go the KFC without Nick, so there is a little decrease in his chicken consumption. However, he always has a stash at home, and eats chicken filet on his sandwiches. So, he consumes chicken a lot. He is very close to number two and number one. Both are notorious chicken eaters. Both love to put as much of chicken in their mouth. But only one, eats more chicken (for now). Number two on the chicken­o­meter, is Luuk. Eventhough he eats chicken like crazy, Luuk is even prepared to eat chicken from the McDonalds. Yes, we would state that this isn’t real chicken, however, he sacrifices himself and wants to do everything for that chicken­o­meter title. Aniek, be prepared for some heavy competition for the upcoming months. However, Aniek, is defending her first place with much honor. She eats more chicken than Taylor Swift has boyfriends. She eats more chicken than John Rambo shoots bullets in the latest Rambo movie. She eats so much chicken, that some people have heard that she chuckles like a chicken. There we propose a nickname for aniek: Aniek “kukelukuuuu” Poort. Experts review: A good shot: A bad shot:
