David Stern
NBA Commissioner 1984 – 2014

“one and done”

The origin of the term “one and done” is unclear but it may have arisen among the myriad conversations of David Stern, the NBA Commissioner from 1984 to 2014. “One and done” refers to the controversial rule which Stern introduced in 2006 that required recruits spend at least one year playing college basketball, or overseas, before achieving eligibility to enter the NBA draft. Prior to that, top recruits could enroll in the NBA draft directly out of high school. Since 2006, the meaning of “one and done” has expanded to describe tournament performance, i.e. losing out on the first round, as well as other non-athletic applications. Nowadays, the term is used to describe everything from disposable tissues to an option for family planning.

“One and done” can also describe the monolithic donation pattern of some of our wonderful donors who have previously contributed – maybe several years ago – but not since. Please remember that the AACMFS is and will always be a small organization. If we are to achieve our lofty goal of fully funding the Ramon Ruiz Traveling Scholarship we need the involvement of the entire membership on an ongoing basis. When you make your donation via https://aacmfsf.wildapricot.org/Login please consider the monthly automatic withdrawal pledge option which is easy on the budget yet makes a significant impact on our fund.

Thanks in advance for your donation and I look forward to seeing you in Halifax!
