Rumour: NBL coach to be fired
Word from OzHoops suggests that one or two NBL coaches are to lose their jobs by the weekend.
Now, the obvious contenders to get dumped would be Arsego, Watkins or Molloy (coaches of the bottom three teams). The word is that Arsego is safe until season-end.
Someone is suggesting that it will be Watkins and/or Fisher, with most talk about the latter.
Perth have lost 4 games straight, and despite seeming to have a great atmosphere at home games, the team is 5-5 in Perth.
Realistically, teams with little chance of making the play-offs would be unlikely to dump a coach mid-season (e.g., Taipans or Breakers), but teams still in with a chance, would be getting the attention (Razorbacks, Wildcats).
Previously, the Crocs would've had the worst ratio of wins to talent, but they've won a couple in a row, and could well replace the Wildcats in sixth spot on the ladder. That would likely rule out Stacker as being in trouble.
