Aaron Fearne for sure. I can't wait to see him be in 2 places at once!!

Shane Heal will get the gig but honestly they were woeful last night....

Shane Hill will get it locked...

why is Trevor Gleeson in there?

D-Mac would be a good coach anywhere. It's a matter if he's willing to leave Melbourne for a while given he's been there ever since he shifted to Australia.

Heal, i hope.. He turned that team around. Give him a full year

Who's Rosen?

Heal, what a joke got some publicity out of it short term but they were terrible he can't coach his record shows that however he can self promote if we go with him no seasons tickets for me and our group

I don't think D-Mac would be given the job simply because if Kings had the intention of naming him coach, they would probably trial him out as interim. so I'd say D-Mac is out.

what about marty clarke.....he'll be looking for a job !!

Guy Molloy could get the sixers job, was sounded out a few weeks ago I believe

Molloy 2 adel spells more doom & gloom 4 u lot! Marty will get his last year anyway. Marty's 3 year plan is on the money so ease up. Last (by 2 games, last (by 1 game) & next year 2nd bottom. That's 18 years til u win a flag with Clarke - SUCKERS!!

Who's Rosen?

Hey tanking worked, we should get that top pick right? :-)

Dean Vickerman would be a good fit.

@Orbit - Warren Rosen was an assistant under Moose that went mysteriously missing some time this season... He's a well-respected men's Waratah League coach (got COTY in 2011?)

Up until this last game, I was all for Shane to take the job... I don't know if it was just last game blues, or the curse of the televised home game, but the team REALLY looked ordinary on Saturday, puffing REALLY hard, especially Jerai, and after the game, Shane said that they'd lost the game on Monday, all week the practises were crap, so I think maybe they were already looking forward to their Mad Monday today, as it was a similar effort against the Blaze in last seasons final game too...

Either way, out of the list of those available, I think he should definitely be given a chance for next season, unless there is some Super Coach available on the cheap... He really DID make a solid difference, and as long as it wasn't just that "new coach" magic, I'd like to see what he can do with a proper off-season prep and recruitment...

Thanks & i agree Wooikie.

He talks the talk in the box & i'd like to see him back it up with a full year.

Anybody who thinks Heal should coach knows little about the game or what the Kings need.

Shane Heal was a great player. No doubt. He served the Kings well and was an outstanding point guard for the Kings, Boomers and others.

When it comes to coaching, the Kings cannot afford another mistake. They have sacked a former player with a close to 40:60 WL for this season (yes, last season was a shocker), and are considering putting another former player in his place who has a 50:50 record with the kings and a wooden spoon in his previous coaching efforts? And Saturday night's effort was a disgrace - no different to the capitulation we saw under Robilliard.

I've heard the talk about the Kings considering Heal as he is "more marketable" but this is pointless. The best marketing is a winning team, and only a seasoned, experienced and talented coach will achieve this - not someone who is learning on the job. If it comes down to choice between Heal and someone like Joyce, there can only be one answer - and that is the experience of Joyce. Just because some of the owners like hanging around with Hammer, does not mean he is the right coach.

The Kings management can achieve a lot to restore their fragile credibility by making a solid choice of coach. If it is Heal, I am not renewing my membership next season - and that’s 4 season tickets less for them. It might seem insignificant in the scheme of things, but the same people we have sat with at the Ent Centre for seasons feel the same way. Our count after the game on Saturday night was 18 Season ticket holders ready to call it a day.

C'mon Kings Management. Prove you are not the rank amateurs you appear to be, and make the right choice of coach. Get it right, and success will follow.

That's harsh mate.

BTW anon Molloy cant even get Ballarat into the finals in the ABA so how is he a good choice?

KingsSeasonTixHolder: Are you seriously going to say that you and these supposed 17 other people you sit with, sat through nearly two full seasons of the rubbish we had with Moose and you're going to quit over them signing Heal? Sorry, but that sounds ridiculous...

Heal came in and made an immediate impact... The players were playing with more heart, they became one of if not the best defensive teams over those five games before the final and really stepped it up offensively, beating Cairns IN Cairns and putting up wins without our franchise player...

We improved our shooting percentage while keeping teams to a lower one... All this with only a couple of days before his first game... Moose had a season with most of the players as well as a full off season before this one and he couldn't run any offensive sets, he lost the faith of his players and for a supposed defensive player, he didn't instil ANY of that in his players... You put yourself through all that, and you're going to walk if they hire Heal?

If you're going to lay the blame of the Kings players playing the way they did in the final game of the season, when they've got thoughts of Mad Monday in their heads already, JUST LIKE they did in the previous season, then I'm glad you're leaving, it will only raise the IQ of the SEC...

You'd like to think that that would be a major requirement of any new coach, surely? If he can't improve his players, he's not much of a coach... But still, always good never to assume anything when dealing with the Kings Management, so good to put it in terms that they would understand...

Do you think though that he's already put the foot down and that's why they bothered to do the coaching change so late in the season, to placate him?
