The Nebraska Basketball Development Association, Inc. was started in 1981 when Dick Hudson and Gary Mouden took the first Nebraska All Star team to play in the Las Vegas Invitational Tournament. Fund raisers were conducted and private funds solicited in order to pay for the trip. The selection process has always been conducted with state-wide tryouts and high school coaches acting as evaluators. Read more about the HISTORY OF the NBDA
