Rodney "The Rocket" Morris
UPA Representative
Phoenix, Arizona - 07/27/07

The United States Professional Poolplayers Association (the "UPA") recently made some administrative transitions to in-affect renew the association and its presence in the pool community. One of those positive changes was to name "The Rocket" Rodney Morris (arguably one of the most recognized male pool players internationally) as the individual to take over the role of UPA's Lead Player Representative.

Mr. Morris replaces former Representative, Frank Alvarez, who is now president of the association. Rodney elaborated by saying, "I believe in the UPA, I believe in its leadership and goals. At this stage in my career I want to do my part in giving back to the industry by representing player interests."

The UPA Player Representative serves as not only a representative to the association's Touring Professionals, but also for the organization on behalf of the players. Representatives also include World Class players Tony Robles and Tony Crosby.

None of this to do with the UPA is a good thing. I have to be careful what I say on this forum. If you wish to peruse my unedited comments on this subject, I'll have them on my blog sometime tonight. It is Grady's Place

I look forward to reading your opinion on the subject later this evening. Lord knows you have a more intimate knowledge on the subject than I do. I am basing my statement on what I have read to date and I still think this is a good thing. Maybe your blog will give me a different perspective. Thanks Grady.
