Would you recruit Joey Wright

Apparently Gold Coast and Perth are supposed to be looking at him his record doesn't say he is that great or is he?I think the American coaches do a better job of telling everyone how good they are and after a while people start to believe it.The Aussie coaches don't so they seem to at times be under rated what do you think?Get the record books out and have a look.Also look at the budgets and talent they were working with .

the GC ownership are hoping contracts are not going to be honoured in the new NBL so they can chop Chocco and sign Joey.

Definitely my number 1 NBL pick... except for the loaded teams, he got the most out of the Bullets teams he had. He got some average teams to the Semi finals a couple of years in a row. He seems to instil confidence in the players & has the x's & o's to back it up. And some people seem to discount that it's a skill to get a team of champions to gel together

Finance aside, he builds a close network with his players.
I have never heard a player to say a bad word about him, if fact, from all the ones I know that have played under him, they adore him and his leadership qualities.
Tough man courtside but soft and mushy on the inside.

Perth offered Joey and Dale Ryan the coaching spots last year, however were spurned at the final hour when both elected to stay in Brisbane as the Bullets looked to have been revived.

I'm sure Perth would be keen to have both on board still.

That said, Brisbane would be the best bet if the Bullets gained re-entry.

Actually, no.
If Stepenson puts a successful bid in, his right hand man is Van Groningen and his friendship with Joey is flat out over- they will never work together again, mark my words, in fact several players also will not get on board if he is there in ANY capacity.

I am sorry i wouldnt hire joey wright, especially now that he is suing eddy for his contract, if the bullets continued to be in the league fair enough, but they folded and he got another job, just shows that he is all about him self
