News & Links


Where will Mike Dunlap end when this offseason's coaching movements are complete?

I've just moved camp today from cactus country (Phoenix) to beachside (San Diego).

I'm taking the easy way out today with links everywhere. The six hour drive (which included three border patrol stops, Mexico is very close) has me a little weary but there is plenty happening in Australian basketball right now.

Enjoy all this good stuff.

- First, we have a change of head coach with the National Team. Out goes Brian Goorjian who has held the job for the past six years, and in comes energetic NBA assistant Brett Brown. Brown has been given the job until after the London Games (2012).

Goorjian had two Olympic campaigns during his time at the helm with 9th and 7th place finishes.

Will Brown be able to improve on this? We can all judge his after the London Games.

- It seems the Wollongong Hawks have done everything asked of them to qualify them for the New NBL and all with a touch of Bollywood. Click here for an audio interview with Mat Campbell as well.


- Kerry Williams is helping out the young hoopers of the Northern Territory. Well done to Kerry.

- One of the NBL's worst kept secrets has finally become public knowledge. Brendon Joyce will not coach the Gold Coast Blaze next season.

- Joe Ingles goes home to play for the Tigers. I'm beginning to sense the 36ers will fullcourt press Ingles about playing for his home team next season.

Only trouble is 36ers coach Scott Ninnis has never dribbled let alone shot a basketball with his left hand. How could he help develop left handed Ingles?

- In the NZNBL, there is a father/son combo.


- Memphis give Kentucky permission to speak to John Calipari. Is Dunlap a chance at the Memphis job?

- Click here to see who was named to the All-American 1st team in college.

Well why dont JR and DJ Roddo play the game that was suggested to Clinton?

2on2.

And JR n Roddo can pick Clintons other player. Its pretty simple.

Why don't you kiddies go play elsewhere.

The adults are here to enjoy basketball.

Whoever this "Clint Dogg" character is sounds like a lost cause -- he hasn't even posted on here once (supposedly) but has numerous monikers posting for him. Suspicious all the same.

If you want a chat forum, go and find one.

Those of us that are here to enjoy basketball and interact with one of the greats of Aussie ball don't need the kids throwing little jibes in the corner.

JR -- hope you're enjoying the big trip!!

Tigers Fan said...

Agreed Clint Dogg or whatever you call yourself. JR would have nothing to gain by playing you. Please go away.
