Easter - The Calm Before The Storm

I'm sensing that after the Easter Weekend is done the NBL will turn the throttle up a little. The new league is pencilled in to begin in October so time is a ticking, especially when franchises haven't even been announced yet.

In the meantime, there are a few things happening in the sport so here they are.

- Thanks to Perth Now for providing this article on the Perth Wildcats and Rob Beveridge talking about their relationship becoming a marriage.

There are a few things in the article that I will elaborate on.

- "Marvin (Nick) remained defiant over the decision to sack him (Connor Henry) one year into his two-year contract, saying "sometimes greatness calls for tough decisions."

Marvin is Nick Marvin the CEO of the Perth Wildcats and also creator of this Facebook page dedicated to John Wooden and his philosophies. I wonder if he found these words from the great UCLA coach's manual?

Also..."Speaking from the US, where he (Rob Beveridge) is currently coaching children, Beveridge said the Perth job "definitely interested" him."

Check this out to see what type of children Beveridge is coaching. Pretty impressive list of children I might add.

The Nike Hoop Summit game is in the books and Beveridge has only helped his coaching credentials further by leading the World All-Stars over the USA team, 97-89. This snaps a seven game winning streak the US team has had on this annual event.
