Basketball Pacific's premier event, the Easter Tournament was renamed to the Mel Young Easter Classic in 2016, to honour the dedication and work of Mel Young in providing oportunities for everyone involved in the basketball game.  Mel forged a number of key relationships with like-minded basketball organisations, which today now give Players/Coachers/Managers and Referees opportunities to attend events such as the Koru Tour and the Jamboree in Australia.
