Throughout the long 44-year history of the Staten Island Basketball League (www.sibl.us) -- which caters to middle-aged established players -- league commissioner Craig Raucher said he would receive calls weekly from Island parents who were looking for a place for their kids to play outside of the traditional CYO and JCC settings.
“They would Google basketball leagues seeking a place for their child or children to actually learn how to play basketball or to join a team and we would always come upon those searches,” said Raucher.
