Austin Pope was been enjoying an impressive campaign for the Vaerlose Hawks basketball team when the unexpected happened
the former Burbank High boys’ basketball player didn’t suffer a season-ending injury
Pope found himself scrambling after the BasketLigaen
canceled the remainder of the season earlier this month because of the coronavirus outbreak
Pope suddenly had plenty on his mind and much to deal with in a short time
Pope packed his belongings and made immediate travel arrangements back to the United States before the 30-day European travel ban issued by President Donald Trump from most of Europe to the US went into affect March 13 amid the global pandemic
Denmark was one of 22 European countries affected by the travel ban
The league was originally slated to be suspended play for two weeks before it decided in early March to shut down the remainder of the regular season and playoffs
we really didn’t know about the severity of the virus,” Pope
“We knew Italy was starting to go through a lot
the league was going to be suspended for two weeks
Then the league chose to cancel the rest of the regular season and playoffs
I understand why they did it and we’re in a situation that we’ve never been in
I decided I wanted to be back in the United States and I got a ticket March 12 and came back that day
3.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game for Vaerlose
who played college basketball at North Idaho College and Chaminade University
thought about his family when traveling back to the United States
“My parents are older and I certainly wouldn’t want to give them the virus
I told my coaches and general manager at Vaerlose that I would rather be back [in the United States] and they understood that
and jogging and running to stay in shape.”

seven rebounds and two blocks to help the Hawks register an 82-74 victory versus visiting Amager
Vaerlose ended on a three-game winning streak and won four of its last five games before the shutdown
“Our team had a good chemistry and everybody seemed to know their roles,” Pope said
I got a lot of shooting opportunities and I knew how to get all of my teammates involved
“I knew how to prepare myself for the games and practices
The league was going strong and it seemed to become more popular.”
He’ll soon begin preliminary plans to extend his career and will stay in contact with his two agents
Aaron Mintz in the United States and Alex Katsaros in Greece
“There might be some opportunities here and in Europe
maybe Greece and Spain and maybe in Israel,” Pope said
“I’m going to try to play as long as I can and keep improving my game
who earned All-Pacific West Conference recognition at Chaminade and played professional basketball in Lithuania before heading to Denmark
said he’d like to run a basketball camp in Burbank and perhaps at a location in Los Angeles in the summer
Pope will weigh those options once he receives additional information about the pandemic and how long it will last
“I like to give back to the community,” said Pope
who helped run the Breakthrough Sports Basketball Camp at Luther Burbank Middle School in Burbank last June
“Burbank is where I started out and I just want to help people.”

Company CEO Robert Radie talks about Egalet's new drug — and why the company moved from Denmark to Wayne
That Egalet Corporation is in the Philadelphia area is due to one man: Robert Radie
Radie joined Egalet’s board in March of 2012 as the first U.S.-based employee
having worked in the Philadelphia area since 1991
he’s from here now.) He successfully led several drug companies that were later acquired
including the Pfizer’s purchase of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals for $1.9 billion
the company eventually moved its headquarters to Wayne
“One of the attractive aspects of this area is access to talent,” Radie tells Philadelphia magazine
“And you know because of the proximity to larger pharmaceutical companies in the general area from the Philadelphia area into New Jersey… I think also the local advocacy group Pennsylvania Bio is a very active group that is a proponent for the biotech and health services health services industries
So there’s just a lot that that makes this area the right place for a company like Eaglet.”
Egalet got some good news last week week: Its abuse-resistant opioid, Arymo, was approved by the FDA
Radie says the company had prepared for this approval
and the drug will be on the market in the first quarter of this year
Egalet’s drugs are created with an injection molding
that creates the shell of the pill first before injecting the active ingredient after the shell cools
“I used the term abuse deterrent — and I don’t think any [drugs] are going to be abuse proof,” Radie says
“Our technology confers physical and chemical barriers to the typical way that people would try to manipulate a product at the first step towards abuse and misuse.”
The drug approval didn’t go perfectly for Egalet. The FDA approved Arymo
and will allow the company to say it deters abuse by those looking to dissolve and inject it
But Egalet had hoped the FDA would let it say it deters abuse by those looking to snort it or take it orally
the FDA’s advisory panel voted 18-1 to allow the company to say it deters abuse orally
saying a different drug (MorphaBond) has market exclusivity on the claim it deters snorting until 2018
Egalet’s shares dropped on the news that it didn’t win the full approval it was seeking
but Radie says he’s optimistic about the company’s future
It is also working on getting approval for additional dosage strengths of Oxaydo
which the company calls “the first and only immediate-release oxycodone designed to discourage intranasal abuse.”

(BVM) — Most people aren’t considered professionals at what they do until at least their 20s
Colorado Buffaloes guard Frida Formann turned pro at 15 years old
joined the Danish Women’s League as a member of the Værløse Blue Hawks
she blossomed from a role player into a star
make plays for her teammates and wreak havoc on the defensive end
and 2.3 steals in her final year with the Blue Hawks before making the journey across the pond to play in the United States
but one of the biggest things she picked up while playing overseas won’t show up in the stat sheet
“I’ve played with grownups since pretty early on,” Formann said
“When I entered the women’s league I was 15
A lot of the players in the women’s league are people who returned from college
maybe played pro out of Europe and then went back to Denmark
You learn pretty early on some of the things that maybe take longer for people here to learn because you only play people your age.”
Playing overseas certainly helped Formann mature beyond her years
but her basketball experience didn’t start with the Blue Hawks
she has been around the game her whole life
“I started [playing] when I was 2 years old,” Formann said
her mom played for the Danish national team
and her father is a former coach for the Danish women
and spending all that time around family helped Formann fall in love with the game
That love for the game wasn’t necessarily shared overseas
which caused Formann to come play at CU with others who shared her same lofty goals on the court
“I wanted to go somewhere where there was more talent
I couldn’t expect teammates and coaches to put as much time into it as I did because we didn’t get paid
what you do is basically a job… It’s not just about coming in and getting some exercise.”
Formann points to preparation as the biggest difference from basketball overseas to basketball in the U.S.
and that all ties back to the seriousness of the players
Higher goals for players and teams certainly mean a heightened level of preparation for games and opponents
“There’s a different preparation level that I’ve gotten used to over here,” Formann said
“You play against teams who are basically professional and do their scouting
They base their workouts around beating you.”
Formann’s past experience combined with increased attention to detail allowed her to really settle in during her freshman year in Boulder
While playing in a more balanced talent field may have taken her numbers down a little bit
she became comfortable in her role as one of the elite shooters in the Pac-12 and the NCAA as a whole
