Collegiate Effect The Tournament attracts approximately 12 - 20 Junior College and Tribal University Recruiters to scout participants. This is a great introduction to college basketball, with an opportunity to possibly transfer to Division I or II play.

A Foundation Built on Success Haskell University has been one of the strongest recruiting programs since the Foundation’s inception in 2003. In 2010, Haskell’s Women’s Basketball team advanced to their first Championship game in school history with a team predominately comprised of NABI alumni. Fittingly, the late Coach Phil Homeratha contributed their success to recruiting talent from NABI. In 2011 the NABI Leadership Award was renamed to the Phil Homeratha Leadership Award to honor Coach Phil Homeratha
