‘Reds’ Perreira, who was at the President of basketball in Guyana from 1969 to 1975, had played a pivotal role in the development of the sport and was instrumental to have Guyana participate at several international tournaments including the Central American and Caribbean Games in 1971, ‘73 and ‘75.

Reached for a comment on Perreira being honoured former national player and International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Referee, Cecil Chin, felt obliged to offer his respect for the man who he described as ‘administrator par excellence Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira’, saying whatever is being done is well deserved.

Chin offered that “Reds’ contribution to basketball helped establish the game to its’ present standing when he was elected to the presidency in 1969/70 and from there until his appointment, as Special Adviser on Sport to the Ministry and Minister Shirley Field-Ridley (deceased), were successful.”

International basketball officials came to Guyana through the efforts of Reds and it is from one such clinics when Joe Baldrich from Puerto Rico was invited, paved the way for Chin to attend the CAC Games in the Dominican Republic.

Coaches “He encouraged the fraternity to become a brotherhood/sisterhood, had a desire for the success and helped create coaches to teach the game in schools.

Hence Mike Brusche and Orín Cumerbatch became the first two to be appointed to teach the game across Guyana.”

After ‘Reds’ Perreira was appointed to the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) as the Sports Coordinator, Chin was invited on two occasions to officiate in the Windward Islands tournaments in Grenada (1986) and St Lucía (1988).

“Reds is definitely an outstanding personality and all accolades presented to him are deserving; he has been like a father figure and adviser,” Chin stated.

Among those who are expected to gather for this auspicious event are former National players who were members of the teams which represented Guyana at the CAC Games in Gavin Kendall, Melroy and Merton Fitzalbert and overseas-based Phillip Daniels, along with former national captain, Eon ‘Watusi’ Andrews, and Mark Agard.
