Can Marty Clarke COACH???

Roster:
Luke Schenscher
Adam Gibson
Steven Weigh
Jason Cadee
CJ Massingale
Mitch Creek
Nathan Crosswell
Anthony Petrie
Daniel Johnson
Pero Vasiljevic

How have such a talented roster and only manage to score 59pts. Daniel Johnson and Adam Gibson by far the best players so far this season but when something is not working why not give Creek, Massingale, Crossy, or Pero more minutes and minutes to actually contribute not just run up and down the floor. It seems we are bashing all the players and their perfomances but its up to the coach with such a talented team like this to find a way to benefit these guys. 2010 9-19 and 2011 8-20. Very good Assistant Coach, average Head Coach. Its only the second round but time will tell.

the Tigers are tipped to fight Sydney for the wooden spoon so I wouldn't read too much into that game

i personally don't think he knows how to head coach. look i don't think many in the NBL know how to utlize there players and design offense that works best for there respected teams.
as there got so much talent, they should be pushing the ball and looking to score 90pts a game.
I think Steven Weigh could really be a gun working base to base line on the same side of the court as Gibbo with Johnson working through the high post.

CJ Massingale is a waste of a pick up when there is better out there.

if this team doesn't finish top 3, then clarke is GOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
good junior coach not seniors

Took 2 games for a 'Marty' thread to come up.

I had a bet with a fellow NBL fan colleague.

I said that ozhoops (ADL fans) would start complaining about Marty @ Round 3.

He nominated Round 1.

Who is the winner he or I?

Excellent out there at training
Could do with a bit of help with game rotations
Seems there's a FIBA effeciency rating going on
on live stats . Don't spose he sees that while the games going on.

Critics of Marty on this thread, are you yourselves coaches? Because coaches are consistently bagged by players, fans, parents etc. I would have thought if anyone had an idea of how difficult it is, and may be sympathetic, it would be other coaches.

And if you're not coaches, I suggest taking a team and see what I'm talking about. Maybe if you're all as good as you think you are, you'll be able to take Marty's job!

in response to 'jason' you can't possibly critisize Massingale after only two games. The first game he gets a leave pass as it was his first NBL game and to score the ball you need to get the ball passed to you.
The second game he only plays 3 mins!!!

Marty has to give CJ more playing time so he can get confident playing at this level.
I promise you if his minutes get up to the 15-20 mins a game he will be farbetter player then both Weigh and Creek. To me Weigh is only a frontrunner and only plays Ok when the team is playing well and he has wide open shots. He can't create his ownshot to save himself!
CJ will be the X factor to us making a deep playoff run, he only needs a more minutes from super coach Marty!!!!

In general I do not agree with the notion that because I don't coach, I cannot judge others.

The Marty Clarke method of coaching of 2011/12 season certainly could be improved, and many in several forums remarked on it.

I shoot Free Throws @ around 60%....does this mean I can only bag out Shaquille and Dwight?

I drive a Hyundai, does this mean I cannot comment on Romain Grosjean's eratic driving in F1?

However I do take your point that we, the general public, do not understand the pressures and demands of coaching an NBL game. Furthermore, given it is Round 2, perhaps we could lay off laying into Marty until Round 8.

That was Weigh just then on radio.
Seems at some of the shooting practices , our players come out as their favorite NBA player and that's a very very good idea out there. Freshen up a bit. Weigh was Dirk and Petrie had a tiny pair of short shorts on .
Weigh said Schenscher was MVP against Melbourne?
(Last time on radio Clarke said 4 was Johnsons position?)
(Johnson Petrie Weigh Creek Gibson - I think best 5)

social player, yes, I guess if you paid no attention to the man with the mo, or didn't read this site, you might be able to do it. After all isn't it just drawing X's and O's on a whiteboard?

Stop looking at Massingale as an import.
He is on minimum salary and there is not a better player anywhere that you can get for the 40 grand or whatever it is these days.

A very good point anon. Most imports are starters, whereas Massingale is the "Clayton's Import" starting on the bench. He's no Diamon Simpson.

Frankly, anyone who asks the question "Can Marty Clarke COACH???" (clearly intended as a loaded question) without offering even one specific criticism of his actual coaching decisions or techniques is just trolling.

We lost a game. What does Jeff or Jason say the coach should have done that would change the outcome? Instead of informed comment, we have to put up with thread after thread that pretty much amounts to "We lost - it must be the coaches fault".

No analysis of the coach's actual performance whatsoever. Surely the critics, given that they know what the coach is doing wrong, you can tell us (and the coach) what it is? I for one would love to hear it.

Jeff, if you watched the game against NZ you would realise it was the careless erratic play of the players that cost the Sixers the game....not the coach.
