So, the spot Nunawading is in wasn't at all created by years of mismanagement and people carrying out their own agenda at the expense of some very good players, coaches and administrators?

Do the homework and have a look and the names of people calling the shots over the past 5-7 years who did all the damage and sent a proud club into a tailspin. Thankfully, it appears that the club could be seeing the back of those people.

The real question remains of if the damage done is repairable and able to be saved to save the club?

Some certain people have a lot to answer for, the way they've protected their own bit of land and not looked at the long term interests of the club.

The SEABL womens team have improved year on year for the past 3-4 years since making the GF, only 4 points off a conference GF last year yet a malicious few felt the need to pull it appart and for what??

What damage was done? The only Juniors to leave were duds anyway and some have been recycled this year at the expence of genuine quality players all because of agendas and friendships.

The only damage that has been done was done this year, mostly to get someone a SEABL gig who wouldn't get one anywhere else.

Knox like but on a smaller budget: Hallet would struggle to manage a hotdog stand let alone a Basketball club.. (probably because he'd eat everything).
Wakeling has a chip on his shoulder because his kids didn't cut it, so anyone who stands up to him is gone.
Spicer is only there to get his kid a gig when everything being equal she'd struggle in B grade domestic and to get his pisshead drinking mate a coaching gig...

Sounds like all good in VIC basketball......not saying SA a lot better, but WOW!!

Is it running down to juniors
with seable players coaching jnr sides with little success

Saw the SEABLE Girls train recently, pretty slack, must say they didnt look vey professionasl. Coaches spent more time laughing and sitting around than coaching.

Time for the past coaches and assistant coaches to stop writing on here. You know who you are. This has come about due the poor work being done by the current doc at the club. Nuna wading has been on the nose for years and I think that the fresh start at the senior level should be matched by a fresh level at the junior. I remember years ago you has to sell your first born for a coaching gig at Nuna, now if you can spell your name your in.
Coaching starts with the doc, not the senior level. Give the kid a go, first year with a few juniors in there. If the players don't want to be there then let em go and please remember the highest paid person at that club ain't either of the senior coaches, it is the doc that doesn't do her job.

Time for the doc to be moved. The fish rots at the head, seniors are a mirror of the juniors at the club. Period. Look back 5 years and see what names were running the juniors then, mmm same ones as now!

Interesting Post Funny - Changing the issue away from the rot at Senior level. Looking for a DOC job are we. From what i understand - The Seniors are run totally seperate from Juniors - own funding / own committee.The Senior coaches are totally responsible for their own progams including player selection. I have been at Nunawading on the Boys side for 5 years now and i have never seem the Boys program in such great shape and all credit goes to the new/current DOC. U14 VC Champs last year - all 1st sides in VC this year - 5 U12 Teams - with the 12/1 & 14/1 both at the Classic and Both 16/1 and 18/1 have good bottom age kids. The DOC has worked hard to recruit hard working coaches who have player developement before own agenda - something alot of other programs lack. The future looks bright from where i sit and look forward to having my kids part of that.

From what I hear the committee share the view and may be in the process of removing the obstacle themselves. Glad to say that not a bone in my body would be interested in joining that shell of a club

I've been around the nunawading tournament all yesterday and this morning with my daughters team and watching friends of ours in other specters teams and I haven't seen the club director of coaching at any venue. Our friends who have a son in one of the boys teams said she hadn't been at any games they've seen either

Nuna parent - get a clue. There are 30+ teams speared over 15+ venues. From what I hear she has been to see all the classic teams play and been at Nunawading and Knox last night till 10.00pm. All the time lugging around a 6 month old? Compassion and common sense please!

Nunawading have had (and still do) an abundance of quality Juniors coming through and have come through over the past umpteen years, unfortunately 5 of them didnt return to the senior team this year. Questions should be asked.
At the end of the day given the structure at Nunawading the DOC is only in control of the juniors and has no imput or control over the selection of the senior teams or Coaches, so its pretty pointless holding them accountable for the makeup and performance of the senior team if the Coach can't retain those juniors, attract back QUALITY Ex Juniors or recruit a decent team.

I think the same questions as to why some of those juniors left should be asked as well. Not of the new coaches but of the previous. Also please don't forget when the DOC and the previous Head Coach are married and share a surname nepotism will always be the winner.

Have you changed your last name yet norm?

This is all an absolute joke, junior basketball and a semi professional league (seabl) doesn't need to have people with such boring lives getting on here arguing about its current state. What happened to the love of the game? Smear campaign both ways is ridiculous, past is past and obviously there were many things not quite right so needed to be cleaned out. P.S news of a walk out at the end of last season womens seabl team absolute trash, if you watched them last season they werent anything like a 'team'. The change has been for the betterment of the club, and if parents, passed officials or coaches have a beef with something thats happened or is happening, grow some balls and and put your name to a post or have some sort of character to actually have a face to face conversation with those you think are in the wrong rather than be a gutless prick/s and think you can hide behind a screen. Obviously people writing here to smear people are an absolute joke, grow up and realise it bloody basketball.

I completely agree. The people being spoken about are trying their best regardless of your personal thoughts. It is a game dealing with kids. Get a hobby people........

Look at the lack of results from the classic to see what is happening to the junior program at knox. Slipping quickly into the distance they are. Its gonna take hard work and then some for them to even begin to get back to where they used to be. Stone throwing aint gonna help that lot.

Having been in the girls program for 6yrs I have nothing but the higgest praise for the DOC. She is always at the sunday training and a big supporter of all the kids.
Untill last year I was going to take my boy to a club with a better boy program but since the DOC has taken over the program I see huge improvements and will now bring him there.

A huge congrats to the DOC for the great results at the Classic and tournament! Well done to the coaches of the U12/1 for winning the Classic and it was so nice to see them thanks the DOC for all her support.
To FUNNY didnt your parents teach you that if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all. Clearly you have an agender. If you are not happy get off the bus

I thought this post was about the womens team ? It is turning into a thread on DoC.

Which women's players that left would people have kept ?

Leave Nuna alone.

Hallett is going to do some great things here

Who have been good and bad for the team this season ?
