Well, not just referees vote, coaches on each side vote as well. So smart people will notice the efficieny and hustle and award accordingly.

Have 10 points to award to any player and any amount.

So can give one player 10 points, two players 5, or spread it out as you like.

At least, was in my day, unless voting system has changed?

Dusty really just does his thing out there without you even noticing .. I think that hurts him in the long run for any kind of recognition off of the court simply because no one really notices what he does until they read the box scores. You dont see many players like him..

The coaches votes go towards the all-star 5 at the end of the year!

I don't agree. Dusty should not get the medal as he is a player well and truly above the league he is playing. I would be inclined to reward an upcoming player who has really shown a great deal of improvement. one who comes to mind immediately is Marcus Ng. I can't believe the difference in quality in his game this year as opposed to previous years. This is the sort of achievement I would be rewarding at ABA level. Eric Burdon is also a good candidate. He has improved immensely at ABA level while not having a great deal of experience at NBL level.

Is it a nice medal? Worth anything?

If Dusty gets it, it could be on ebay within minutes. Or in the "D-Rych online Store".

EC, are you okay, should we call a doctor??



he he....

But does that mean if an NBA player playes in the NBL, he should not win MVP?

Thats a lot of aggression for a young man #140507.

Todd Matthews is my smokey.

#140507, it was a personal opinion that everyone is entitled to. Not claiming to be fact nor trying to change the rules, therefore not showing ignorance at all you tool.

Todd Matthews in a landslide!!!

Dusty, not for any reasons given above, but only for marketing purposes and to keep the faithful happy and content. No other no namers have a chance. Dusty was pre-ordained, he is the chosen one.

EC's sentiment might not be practical or exist in any competition, but surely you can appreciate her intention - to reward those who are all about the ABL, and not just filling in an off-season. Pretty harsh responses. Keep it fair people.

Play the ball, not the man.

Anon #140538, I'm guessing you've never listened to question time in Parliament then.....

Isaac, why would you suggest my sentiments may not be practical? The Halls/Woollacott medal is an award specific to the ABA. I think a true ABA player should be rewarded with this award. One who has played several years and has shown the most improvement every year to reach the great level they are currently at. This also includes NBL players who have consistently played in the ABA for several years e.g. Oscar Forman, Jacob Holmes, David Cooper, Darren Ng etc. For a player of Dusty's calibre, in his first year with the ABA and not likely to continue in years to come, I don't think he should take it away from them. He was a great player before he joined the Rockets, he hasn't worked his way up the ABA ladder of greatness.

He's playing in the ABL, so he can win the ABL MVP. Anything else, isn't practical. If Coops won it in his first year, who was to say he wouldn't suit again for the Flames? What's to say that Dusty won't play again even if he intends not to?

Too subjective, and not at all practical.

The Halls/Woollacott is for the best player in either the Womens or Mens CABL.

There is no reference to how long you have played in the league or how you have improved. Just the best judged player.
