West Adelaide's under 16 coach was dismissed of his position after gaining ABL coaching position at North,now is this a standard practice most clubs would do in this situation or is it something unusual?

Im sure North will welcome the coach and give him a gig coaching a junior age group as well if he wants it. West Adelaide are the losers in this, lots of people out their with alliances to 2 clubs, some even 3. You got to get over it, Adelaide is small and if someone is prepared to volunteeer at 2 clubs good luck to them I say.
So he is coaching the ABL women at North, seriously will be out of his depth.
Not sure if head coach or assistant as he was to Tracy but if my memory is right he led the U23/1 men to a GF win over a Scott Butler coached Sturt team.
Will this lead to an exodus of players from the port?There must be a lot of players that will follow their messiah!Parents are already spewing chips,the genie has been truly let out of the bottle .Maybe now Woodville will get some ripper players knocking at the entrance at St Clair?
Who is coaching Woodville's 16s and what has this guy acheived as a coach?

Coaches at one club, kids at another - get over yourself Wanker!
you have just contradicted yourself. I couldn't care less if your chidren with 5 different mothers all play for different Clubs. Its not what this thread is discussing.It is about a COACH involved with 2 different Clubs. One at Senior level the other at Juniors. That could possibly be a conflict of interest. If you can't fathom the possibility of that not being acceptable to a District Club ask one of your kid's Mums to explain it to you.Would hate to use the word 'wanker'. Its so Port Adelaide.

the thread is not wholly soley about the sacked coach, it is about being able to be involved with more than one club and people suggesting that it does happen, on many levels not just coaching, so get off your high horse bucko and stop being a nasty piece of shit and sticking it to the good people of the port and west adelaide.
Corey coached my daughter last year and was in tears when he told the girls he was leaving,he wasn't even allowed to hold the last training session as he must have been told to leave. Not to mention my daughter was crying her eyes out in the car on the way home.Then the kids were told to choose either to leave or keep playing in a very rude fashion-now isn't that just nice!

should clear up the misunderstanding...Corey was given the opportunity to coach that last session...give him some credit..was gutsy of him to front and even address the girls with such dignity...give the Club some credit as well for allowing him to do that...girls were also given the option to continue training or not..under the circumstances thought that was the right thing to do.It certainly wasn't said in a rude way...don't know why you would think that?
SOunds like he more interested in his own coaching rather than the girls.. Overrated anyway. I mean what coach at junior level has someone put a chair out for him in timeouts to sit on.

i personally think it was miscommunication from the club and from corey. Both didnt let the other know what their intentions were, as much as the club is going to miss him they did what they believed was best and now the club needs to move on.
BTW the chair during time outs is a smart thing i hate leaning down during timeouts and i believe it was the team manager who suggested it not corey
Shit happens,now its time to move on.West will fill the position easily with someone else.As for Corey ;thanks for the years of service and good luck with your new team/or teams.Must admit it would be weird if he took up the under 16D1 at Rockets.
Leaning down for 45 seconds to talk to players, how precious are you?
He won't get the 16 Div 1 girls at North, that is for sure.
If you are going to stay,stay if not i don't want parents bitching about it later(Bearcat quote)!

Is Corey's assistant staying on with the club or has he decided to leave also? I believe the assistant was/is old time West and may hold the key to any success if he has a voice or is even staying
Looking in from the outside it seems this whole situation has been poorly handled and a respected coach lost to the club. This would not be the first time for basketball in SA, all clubs would have their stories. There are only a few that would truly know the situation. Is there something we don't know about in Bearcat land?
ET TU BRUTE/YOU TO BRUTUS is all Corey should be saying to himself as he is taking the knife out of his back,in referral to the new coach in the making not the caretaker pretending not to know who to appoint in the position.Good Hollywood job so far,maybe even an Oscar performance?Tank should tell West to piss off after what was done here,that is if him & Corey were ever friends?How deep we have to dig to uncover a rotting stench sometimes.SW will it be pistols or swords,sounds like a duel to me -get off your high horse and stop lying to the parents of this team.Remember the people should not be afraid of the ruling class,but they should fear the people.Revolutions are going on all around us and conspirators are the first to be trimmed in times like these.
WHO AM I?Tried to get job coaching under 14 team at NABC.Then tried at WW.When declined both went to WAB waited for a year and how convenient now the coach has being shown the door i will help this poor struggling club in its hour of need, because that's the person that i am.Hoops is our wiki leaks so everybody remember this powerful tool in the future.Long live ISSAC for giving this to the people.Sometimes the truth hurts so good,yeah baby baby hurts so good.
Are we talking about the new assistant to Andrew N - give you a hint (Wheels are motion). Because that's a whole new story.
We had this new coach, coaching the same girls previously and finished in the bottom 3, when the side was clearly a top 4 side, so why do we have to waste our money and season again!

What a crock! Well done West way to treat a great bloke, great coach and a person who cared a great deal about your club. Now open him up to this viscous lies and false truths and drag his name through the mud on a forum - even the West executive are getting in on it. Talking trash to junior players or being a gangsta coach what crap - much more respectable to hide behind alias names and throw stones.
I am a good mate of Corey's and he may come across as tough asshole when he coaches (and he will admit that too) he is a massive softy at heart and all this is getting to him. To hear a guy I've known since primary school, who's has has eat, slept lived basketball that whole time say to me 'basketball is loosing it's shine' and start thinking what else he could do with his time hurts.
His mistake was he tried to please everyone, North boys wanted him back, West girls wanted him back. He was so torn and the people close to him saw that. He couldn't leave the west kids and he couldn't leave the North boys - that's him he's so loyal he's almost dumb!
All these people who have issue with him go talk to him about it he will listen and take what you say on board but stop all this shit - both sides!

I'm referring to the snide remark Hangin Round made, he also is an executive of west committee. What the solution to this? The damage is done, the hurt has been dealt. Club handled it extremely badly that's not a pot shot that's a fact. I'm more upset with the fact people are taking this chance to stick the boots into Core!
Seems West are now encouraging open lines of communication so maybe the West exec should actually pick up the phone themselves and actually call Corey and give him the full story and whole truth. I've read the text message really says nothing but take North job vacate West. The only person Corey has spoken to on exec is someone he is extremely close to and he is keeping his cards close to his chest bcos he is stuck between being a mate and exec.
I don't need to hear the whole truth but I think Corey derserves to.

Everyone should leave Corey alone I had him as a coach in the past at west and he is a top bloke, He has put a lot of work into our club but he did not have the opportunity to move higher up in coaching, so everyone should respect his decision. I you were playing div u23 div 2 at a club and you had an opportunity to play div 1 23s and possibly aba it is an easy decision

I believe the AGM is coming up soon and "all"
positions are declared vacant.
What a great opportunity for those who want to internally air
their dirty laundry to state their case and
do something positive instead of stir shit.
If you don't have the time to commit to doing
something positive for your club, what about
asking how you can help to make the club better??
There are other opportunities such as Age Group
Co-ord or JLG member where your voice will
be heard and you can do something positive
for your daughter instead of trying to degrade the club
You are supposed to be a "supporter" of!
There are avenues internally to air your grievances, so
if you don't feel comfortable with these, perhaps
consult your child as to whether she/he would
like to follow these, or whether your child is embarrassed
by your continued anonymous actions
PS- this "title" has gone on too long and should be
re-named to "departed coach" as nobody was sacked as
far as I hear, but just an unfortunate conflict of
interest.
Get over it and support your kids please
Something more is going on as Corey hasn't coached the north 23s this season? Pero Vasiljevic has been doing them.
If i volunteer to be a JOG or age group coordinator do i get the perks others had before, probably not because i am not prepared for any arse kissing as some.And the only thing that would happen at the AGM would be a massive argument or a brawl so that isn't an option..
The above is probably true but unfortunately that is the case in most sporting clubs,schools workplaces, that's just the nature of people.Read Corey's Facebook page and you will see that he did not leave by skipping to his car & clicking his heels whilst singing a happy tune,but isn't that what some would want us to believe!
If talking to the club hierarchy is all that's needed for a solution then GIMLI would still be at Woodville not here now.And that's somebody who coached there;an ant can not take on an elephant.

so a JLG position is all about arse kissing not at all about helping scores of kids becoming better basketballers and giving up a helluva lotta time to facilitate that? And not willing to step forward at an AGM is because a brawl is going to break out so you can't attend?
Or perhaps the more likely truth is that its so much easier to not help,be lazy,let others give up there time,give you the opportunity to line up the very people willing to give up there time freely to help YOUR daughter.
You are a real class act.
Continue the gutless sniping and pathetic excuses to not actually step forward and be part of the solution.
If being part of the solution is letting coaches go by sms-good on ya,i don't want to have nothing to do with that.And i didn't say all JLGS are in it for the perks,get real what will you tell me next that all politicians are at their job for the love of the people.My sniping is only directed at lowlifes who recognize themselves very easily when they read this.There are a lot of honorable well meaning people holding those positions .Do not generalize one sentence and come to conclusions like the above.
Wow after reading all this i understand why a whole lot of players left and went to play over at Western Magic.

Can so-called 'rocket' please use a different name - I have been use 'Rocket' for about 3 years now, and have rather different views and attitudes to the aforementioned.
West Adelaide bought this entire episode on themselves in the manner in which this all seemed to be handled. Too much to the story for some people to not have some very dirty hands. Like the coaching director is now a SASI coach and maybe needed to be coaching Div 1 for that position?
SASI coach means nothing, i am undefeated against SASI coaches and state coaches!!!!
Well done... My Point was he was not a Div 1 coach until all this happened and now he is! Everyone knows he can't coach!
If the sacked guy was so good they would have kept him
West have a history of burning good coaches... Rick Castle an example. Think you'll find this guy was pretty good and West people did want to keep him. Just too many hidden agendas and the north situation made him the best target!

I'm not across any of the details of exactly what happened with Corey, but I know that he is one of the better junior coaches I've seen in my time involved in basketball (22+ years).
Ever seen an under 10 team run multiple offensive sets, or understand the reason why ball movement and team defence is so important? Ever seen under 10's take pride in boxing out? That's what Corey brings to junior coaching.
Any coiach that has had the pleasure of inheriting teams that Corey has coached at the junior level knows what I'm talking about.
Sad to hear that he's questioning whether to stay involved in the game. Hard to name anyone who has volunteered so much time to the game and the club over the last 10 years as a coach, and as a player prior to that.
Also agree with the Rick Castle comment - one of the best coaches I've played for, but didn't fit the mould. Coincidentally, Rick coached myself and Corey in u/20's. Both Corey and Rick have an unhealthy love of Dennis Rodman - maybe that's the problem!
sounds like they can't work themselves out according to all this balone (and I mean the pps syndrome), probably couldn't organize a r--t in a wood yard most who have posted to fulfill their own little agendas.
Doc, giving a mate a reference probably doesn't help.
Now did my eyes deceive me or did i spot Corey at the port today?Maybe he cant stay away from the sexy mothers either.I wonder if he counts me as one of them?

Look we have already established that Cory rocks and that he will be sorely missed at bearcatland by the under 16 girls. Getting more info on how great of a guy he is only burns the guilty of this ugly deed put upon him with no fault of his own.

Read my posts - I stated that I had no knowledge of the current situation, just supporting a mate and giving support to Coreys dedication and passion for coaching. Whatever has happened, he's no longer at the club and it's a huge loss to the junior program.
If he was such a great coach why did he move out of Under 10s when they had some very ordinary groups coming through? Perhaps he is a coach that only coaches great teams to go with his ego. Seriously Under 10s boxing out? give me a break and yes I saw his teams back in Under 10s... And I could list plenty of coaches that have given more than what he has a coach and don't get the recognition he his is seeking.
He took over the u10s when it was a shambles, took a 16s team last year that previously hadn't won much? When he took u10s he promised 3yrs to West - he did 3yrs like he said he would! Not sure where it says the bloke is searching for recognition for anything? Sick to death of people sniping Corey let this whole thing die!
I think you'll find Corey just wanted a little bit more notice on West's changed stance and a phone conversation.... That's it!
Doctor- I have been coached as a junior by Corey and I strongly agree with you, he was a very good coach, sad to see him leave West
Let's just all agree that Corey should be coaching the 36 ers and the lakers and that he was very unlucky not to get the boomers job, that he drives a rolls and drinks champagne out of wench's shoes and is positively, absolutely the best coach in the world bar none.
Took their 16s to something better with a couple of recruits including a state player, so really not his coaching and also with his tens, he just happened to move out of there and leave the ten program in a shambles. Didn't seem to recruit or leave a program in good condition for the next person to take over.
The top clubs do. Recruit doesn't mean poach, means looking for talented kids.
isn't that on the club to find kids for the volunteer coaches to just coach? so the position of u10s coach also makes you jdo?

Today is all souls /spirits day a day to remember the dead RIP Bearcats,yesterday was all saints day & i lit a candle for our st Corey!
At my sons old club in Melbourne there was a coach who was let go by SMS ,the comity member that sent it got the living crap beaten out of him in the city a few weeks later. coincidence,i don't think so.
I thought Mike K was Dutch!And yes he would be a damn good option for coaching this team.
Corey just cant stay away from the port why was he there today coaching people isn't this whole thread about him leaving but still coaching at port?
Can shaft the boy out of the port but you can't take the port out of the boy!
