In commenting on the clinic, Kamau Bailey said, "I appreciate the opportunity to give back to the town and the young people. Giving my time to youth hoops sports in Princeton during the annual Joint Effort summer program is an honor and I am excited to be directing this clinic for my Dad and the community as well as to share my hoop expertise with area players, coaches and families."
