Wildcats reveal Radford is 36ers assistant
From the NBL site, looks like the Perth Wildcats have partly pre-empted the 36ers' announcement tomorrow:
Championship-winning assistant coach Mark Radford has advised the Perth Wildcats that he is leaving for the Adelaide 36ers for the next three seasons.Full article at NBL.com.au
Radford arrived at the Wildcats ahead of the 2008/09 season after five years as head coach in Tasmania of Wynyard and seven in charge of the North West Tasmania Thunder, as well as time as network coach with the Australian Under-19s Emus team that he has been doing since 2007.
He and first-year Perth head coach Rob Beveridge guided the Wildcats to the 2009/10 NBL championship and after two years in WA, Radford has accepted a position as assistant coach with the Adelaide 36ers, which will also move him closer to his Tasmania-based family.
All signs (Boti, rumours on here, etc) are pointing to a Clarke/Radford/Flynn combination. Once that's confirmed, I think they've done very well. Countless times Clarke has come up as a top target when I've talked about possible NBL coaches with various people but we didn't think the 36ers could quite lure him across. Should be an interesting year.
