Why I left South Adelaide

This is a message to my south adelaide teammates.The club has told you guys that i deserted you guys and that is wrong.The reason i left there was the fact that Coach manning's mother threw me out her house for no reason.I did not desert you guys at all as i liked my time there and playing with you guys. If it was not for that incident i would have been there. The reason i am putting this on here is that i donot have the contact sheet to contact you guys.Anyway you all have my number so if you want to know what happenend then call. I did not want to put this on but i am not going to let anyone lie about me. To the people I met there it was my pleasure and i hope that all the players have a good season and i hope to see you soon.

Very professional Ken. I guess it would have been extremely hard for you to catch up with the team any other than this.

Of course there's another version that seems quite plausible to me, and it favours South rather than Carter. I wouldn't be too quick to judge the Panthers on this one.

tip of the week......ken carter scores 40 for goldminers this weekend. go show em ken

Reply #129019 | Report this post


Everyone above - Ken did the right thing and put his story out there. He was a good bloke which I met and he was good for South. He was meant to get his own unit supplied by South but South's idea was the coach's mums house. Anyway Ken , good luck mate.

Ken was never offered a unit by south. They offered him a hand(coach's mothers house) as his family was suppose to move over to SA. He was going to GET A JOB and his OWN UNIT in time when asked when he was going to get a unit, he up and left SA for......Bathurst.Must have thought he would use up every bit of goodwill he could!!!

Message to Ken - your 45 now it is time to grow up and take responsibility for your actions.

Aaron, Ken was not good for south at all. None of the South players rated him.

South have finished the Ken Carter experiment, which for whatever reasons didn't work out to the satisfaction of either party.

Ken has been cleared to Bathurst and we wish him the best.

Rather than worry about who is not playing, the Club would prefer to focus on tonight's game and who is playing.

As most on here would be aware Shane Ahmatt makes a return to Marion for the first time in several years, however not as many would be aware that tonight is also Dan Kosmider's 200th ABL (or State League) appearance for the Panthers.

Ken's departure has also opened the way for one of the Club's U20 players, Sam Harding to make a well deserved debut into ABL ranks.
All 3 of those matters are far more important to the club, than why another player chose to leave.

This is a matter for Ken and his players. His little discussion here is inappropriate and he should have contacted his fellow players HIMSELF and told them, rather than posting shit on here. I think its about time Ken grew up and turned into an adult taking responsibility for his actions...not always blaming everyone else.

yeah sure u10's...good one...They do have a point tho what happened to players taking responsibility?

Surely this is only a matter for the player and his club and is not up for scrutiny by every person that it does not actually involve. Ken should have been more PROFESSIONAL and kept the club in mind, they have done nothing wrong in this situation.

Ken's wife

Just a little note from Ken's wife in relation to all your comments. Firstly when Ken was offered the position he was promised accomodation, a car and cheap flights for his family to come to watch him play. Unfortunately none of this came to fruition and he was placed in the Coach's parents house as a temporary measure, the club never came up with his own place. I was never coming to live in Adelaide having a job and family in Melbourne, and he was lent the coachs fathers car to drive. Unfortunately the coaches mother asked him when he was leaving and as he had now where else to reside he came home. Ken was then informed that incorrect information was being given to you the players and he wanted you guys to know that he didnt desert you and the club without you knowing was also blocking his clearance. As he had no way to contact you all he thought this was the best forum.
Now its time to move on.....

Would just like this thread to die, but Ken's Wife if you believe what you have written here then you are sucked in to the bullshit talk that Ken speaks as well.
No Promises were ever offered and you were coming to Adelaide to live.....according to the gospel that Ken preached from.
As for car house and cheap flights...crap. Love, we have a salary cap and none of this would have fitted under it, so once again Ken was speaking shit.

Moved to the SBL in Perth so he could 'play in the playoffs,' seems mature to me... He's at the Willeton Tigers.

Here's a piece from their website:

After the game we sadly said goodbye to Bryce Burch, who will be returning to America, and welcomed newcomer Ken Carter who played his first game last night after only arriving on Friday.

Well it looks like Ken will get a chance to play the position he probably deserves...Bench!
With the stacked team that they have, Ken is unlikely to get too many minutes, just like last game...7 minutes. My guess is he'll be with a different team before the end of the season...which is in 2 games...lol

i see he is getting no minutes and also making saw his turn over to minutes ratio is kept well!! maybe they offered him those flights for the family that south couldn't??? My pick is for Ken carter to be playing his next basketball in Antartica. They might give him a go playing with the seals.....

Haha Ken Carter came and took our club in Melbourne for a ride big time. Some quotes included, "Jus Gimme Da Ball an I'll Take This Team to Da Finals!"

After getting the axe after just 3 games he was "gona go 'n play in spain"
