Recent NBL and ABL news
A few things from Boti's Thursday bits and pieces:
Scott Ninnis has an interview next week for the assistant coach position in Townsville. Apparently Ninnis is one of the front-runners. Good luck to Scott.
Derek Moore too expensive for Townsville.
Paul Rees is to be cleared by Forestville and may suit for Woodville as early as this weekend against Norwood.
Kevin Brooks makes his ABL coaching debut against Norwood in that game.
A few more general points for discussion from around the NBL:
Rumour on OzHoops is that the Sixers have made an offer to Mark Nash, but that "They're not even offering him enough money to live on". Nash has suited for two games with the Bearcats in the ABL, registering 15 and 8 in one game, and then 17 points and 15 rebounds last weekend.
Lanard Copeland has apparently attracted the interest of Perth, Brisbane and West Sydney. I think it's fair to say that Brisbane are after everyone bar Ben Castle right now!
Word is that Brisbane is willing to pay what it takes to get Mark Bradtke.
Melvin Thomas has signed for a year with the Taipans. Burgess and Cattalini are already signed and Darnell Mee is a strong possibility.
Apparently West Sydney are considering Rob Feaster...
The future of the Pirates is looking hazy. An announcement by the owners of the club was supposed to be made this week, but there's nothing yet. With free agents up for grabs as of Monday, it's hard for them to expect players to wait before taking up offers from rival clubs.
