Playing them tonight?

Sounds like it!

I have found that they are heavy foulers in the key. Get penetration in the key and they will foul every time. Brings you to the line and you'll get a few players out of the game.

882, Maher played Under 12's for South and moved to Sturt to start Under 14's. He played at Sturt until he went to the AIS, and also when he came back, so you are just making things up.

And Hill and Holmes played all their junior basketball at Sturt, so wrong again. You forgot Oscar Forman as well by the way.

Unlike you the numbers don't lie, Sturt puts more players into professional ranks than anyone else. That is undisputed.

I started late in juniors, under 16's div 4 ( same team as Schenshers ) for the tigers in the 90's and the word was "all the good players played for Sturt". If you thought you were any good, get to Sturt and get some real coaching. 2 of my mates at the time left Noarlunga to go play for div 2 sturt and loved it. A good friend of mine played div 1 for Sturt all through juniors and stories he's told about the "unbeatables" are brought up every time we party.
What I experienced in district was our u 16 div 4 team easily beat Sturt, however my u 18's and 20's div 2 team had troubles with the Sabres. South were also strong and Norwood.
All clubs have great players in the top end but Sturt has a stigma about them. It's just my opinion and people won't agree but when my 2 yr old son is old enough ( and if he wants to play ) I'll take him to Sturt cause I believe he will get the best development there.

So a call for a Delian style league against Sturt is being proposed her,with Sturt being the new Persian empire.Be careful in what you wish for.

How to beat sturt... What tricks do coaches use against sturt ?

1. Saw this one recently in a game against Norwood....Push the Sturt player in the back. Most refs are not able to pick that one up.

2. In a game against Forrestville.... Hit the Sturt player or grab his thumb of his dominant hand. Yes the refs didn't pick that one up either.

3. Travel, carry and double dribble as much as you like on the court. Yes refs don't seem to be able to spot that either.

Actually, when Sturt get beaten it is because they have to play the refs as well and the opposition coaches know that.

Forgot to mention that black eyes from coathangers seem to be effective against sturt...

My daughter always seems to come up with scatches down her arms when we play Forrestville.

I am sure other parents know and are happy for their children to engage in "thuggery" and "tricks" against Sturt but it is not basketball.

Poor Rabbit30, you sound just like Eddie Maguire when Collingwood has to travel to a game- it's not fair because we aren't "protected" and this is when we are vulnerable.
OR are you just a great stirrer seeking responses?

This is an interesting thread- What "tricks" can we use to beat Sturt....

From observation most opposition coaches use dirty tricks and rely on the refs not being bright enough to pick them up.

Rabbit30, yes we heard you the first time, and the second time, and the third time. You're not making sense. If anything Sturt are the masters of the dirty tactic. There would be a lot of people pretty happy to see their 18 Boys not in the grand final, given some of their unsportsmanlike play. Likewise the 16 girls. Their coach apparently encourages some pretty dirty acts on the court.

Sturt rely on fast breaks to score points, but if your team gets a fast break, I have found Sturt foul a lot from behind to slow the game down. It's a good strategic tactic and a lot of refs seem oblivious to the foul. If Sturt teams start fouling us, I call the play "mirror". (you can work out why, and what we do until they stop)

The hardest play to overcome is the back court traps, but we have a stretch play which works very well when a team over commits itself in the back court. Turns a 3 on 2 into a 1 on 3. When they don't get the 10-0 run, their defence changes.

Any team is able to be beaten, a good coach just works out the opposition's strengths and weaknesses are and adjusts their game plan accordingly.

coaches dont get blinded by the fog of results and move to sturt

i know for a fact they are offering southern coaches positions at sturt at the moment!!

rabbit,

you tool, i can not believe you have written that crap about sturt being the victim of thuggery, obviously you do not watch both sides playing the game , only the double blue team, grow up idiot

Aren't we all south Australians? we should be pleased for any club developing great players for our state.
ps can someone please burn down the Hillcrest stadium, much appreciated.
