Sturt dominated Norwood in both div 1 and 2

Is that girls or boys your talking?

Both. U18s was fairly close in both boys and girls I think but the rest was all one way traffic.

Lol Sturt dominated every friday night game?

Centrals won 14 girls & boys and 16 boys against woodville

Woodville 18 boys would have won as up double digits. Central 18 girls were up in last quarter but close. Not sure how ended up.

Can someone tell me why the Norwood v Mavs u16 girls game in Round 1 was a 20-0 forfeit?

I know the game was actually played.

What was the score on the court?

I think it was Mavericks 64 v 27 or 28 to Norwood.. somewhere around that.. well thats closer to the right score than 0 v 20

Uncleared played I would suggest

Yep Anon 129 you are correct , the poor old Norwood girls program cannot get a thing right . The u14 girls still dont have a coach and the U16's are a rabble , hope someone can get control of this mess at the Flames for all the players sakes.

What the hell is the JDM getting paid to do?

168, you are right about both of those, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Two rounds in and Norwood division 1 teams have one win between them. The only team to win so far is the under 18 boys who always seem to be the only Norwood team to do OK. What is going on out there?

gotta love the pampered draw for Eagles U16 Div 1 Girls

Gawler?..no... Centrals at home
Mt Barker?..no... Mavs at home
Morphett Vale?..no... Tigers at home

almost make you think an Eagles Coach has stacked the draw..oh..that's right ..THEY HAVE

Who is their coach?

Eagles must feel threatened by the powerhouses of Centrals and Southern on their home turf... yeah, right.

Enlighten me: how would the coach manage to pull off a rigged draw?

In any case the motive is definitely there - Summer results are pretty much everything nowadays.

Iron-clad conspiracy theory.

Didn't Norwood recruit a catch and shoot player in U16's to fit in with the new coach and his assistant's game plan? Even Marty took a few weeks for things to gel so I wouldn't worry about Norwood too much yet

Here the link between perception and reality. http://www.hoops.com.au/forum/6072-paul-arnott-replaces-colin-thompson/

I'd be surprised if there wasn't more instances.

Can someone please explain the Norwood catch and shoot game plan please??

"Didn't Norwood recruit a catch and shoot player in U16's to fit in with the new coach and his assistant's game plan?"

Who is the coach and who is this assistant?

And what is this game plan? I've seen them play this season and I didn't think there was one.

Newbie,

I disagree with Norwood underperforming. They have been performing at this level for several seasons now so I would argue they are performing at a level consistent with their recent poor performance

Surely after 30 posts this need to degenerate into a Sturt bashing on their poaching and referee intimidation.

Common Jack, you are usually leading the charge with a good troll.

Forestville 16 Boys 1: 7 Home, 6 Away last Summer

We did have the three furthest
Port, Mt Barker, St Clair, Starplex, Pasadena & Morphett Vale

If you believe an anonymous hoops poster.

Sad and petty forum

get back to work Paul...

Criticism of basketball in SA has always been defended by insulting or ridiculing the poster and not addressing the issues. There isn't a debate of friendly draws for a chosen few, it's cast in iron. I can give example after example of travelling inconsistencies where teams in state champs are disadvantaged by playing at Southern for instance in the last game of the night and playing bearcats the next morning at around 8. It's not just the travel but the time of playing that is shonky. As for Friday night games,the minnows travel further more often.

BSA treat the association like fools, assume people don't notice inconsistency, refuse to be accountable and use the game against people they don't like.

Our club provided information to BSA when the Hillcrest floor was out of action with water damage, regarding teams playing more away games.

Their response was that games were being shuffled to the nearest stadium.

When it was looked at further, there was games being out into our home stadium even though there were 2 closer venues where only 28 percent of games on our home court were home teams. And not surprisingly, at Wayville there was 88 percent Forestville games on the similar court, because entire Hillcrest schedules were bypassing Wayville and going to our home stadium.

Despite asking numerous times for a response. BSA refused to even acknowledge our concerns.

makes sound business sense to look after your major income streams..problem is its also supposed to be a 'balanced' draw..BSA treading that fine line of looking after the big Clubs and hoping no-one notices

not the big clubs, the ones with the biggest names
