Reaction
Joanna Sutherland, London 2012 Competition Manager for Basketball was pleased with the volunteers saying that they had been enthusiastic and keen. Great Britain captain Drew Sullivan said that it was a shame that the venue was only temporary. While Patrick Mills said the atmosphere was good and the venue was nice. FIBA Secretary-General and International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Patrick Baumann, agreed with Sullivan about the venue being temporary, but he also said it was amazing what had happened in this part of London.{{cite news|url=http://london2012.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/12/olym/news/p/eid/6232/nid/48745/sid/6232/article.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130123001103/http://london2012.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/12/olym/news/p/eid/6232/nid/48745/sid/6232/article.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 January 2013 |title=Olympic Test Event passing with flying colours|work=FIBA|publisher=London2012.fiba.com |date=19 August 2011 |accessdate=1 September 2011}}
