He loves him because he cut him, and the kid took it on the chin?

Goorj is out of his mind. BJ is so one dimensional he belongs in an art gallery.

I'll throw this out there. I think that BJ Carter would be a good replacement for Davidson when he gets to old to play. No mistake, I'm not saying he is a good replacement now but when we need the next point guard, I would love to see them go after him.

Now we know who will be the starting 2 guard in Beijing

Kent Starting 2 Guard. I know you were being sarcastic but when has BJ ever played the 2 spot

A good story of persistance.

Good luck to him I say.

On the issue of Kings ownership: Can Goorj be retained? If he can, maybe this opens the Dragon up to Stacker, which as a Dragons fan, I think I'd prefer at this point in time.

The question must also be asked "WHY would you want to keep him?". Everyone knows the "Goorj bankrupts every club" theories..

Tangles, BJ has played as a shooter this year (and often in the past too). They already had Kendall and Draper as PGs this season.

See what you mean Tangles but i think of Carter as a spot up shooter/small three rather than a PG if that is what you mean?

kad,

You said - "The question must also be asked "WHY would you want to keep him?". Everyone knows the "Goorj bankrupts every club" theories.."

I didnt know that Goorijan was responsible for selling season tickets, going out and securing sponsorship, competantly managing cash flow for the club, planning and placing a cost effective advertising program, deciding what long term assets to invest in (players, infrastructure) and which ones to divest, building a competant CRM system that regularly communicates with customers, following up debtors, implementing community development programs, managing the salary cap, minimising the effects of taxation....you know, all the non basketball things that actually have MORE of a direct impact on a business than someone's coacheing style.

Have you ever worked in a professional sporting organisation? The key is to make the business product robust enough so that the on court success is not as "impactful". That's one of the biggest reasons the AFL is so far ahead of the NBL - they run their clubs like a business to minimise the effects on the bottom line of their teams performance.

You lost me at 'impactful'.

I don't like the way his teams play, but you cannot knock his success. He is the Midas of the NBL (pity it doesn't translate to the Boomers).

Which means you got at least 80% through the post then...long enough to get my point I would have thought.

You're right - it doesnt translate to the Boomers and he shouldnt be the Head Coach of the National Team. His systems are excellent for the NBL but not international basketball.

BA should go out and get a high profile European coach - David Blatt (Efes Pilsen, Russian National Team), Etorre Mesina (CSKA Moscow) or Zelimir Obradavic (Panathanoikos, has won a World Champs and 3 Eurolegues).

mike w would be good as he has the maketing nous that the current crop of owners do not have

Didn't get a "bite" the first time, Anonymous?

I thought the same thing when I saw the title, just didn't think it was worth the energy to comment on it.
