Sydney Kings need to chase Bevo
A winning coach who needs to be back in the NBL.
And who needs Bevo more than Sydney.
Any chance this will happen?

I'd love to see Al Westover back in the league.

Bevo doesn't need to be chased, if he wanted the job he would go get it, he proved that this season.

If Bevo returns to the NBL, (lets say Sydney) i wonder if out of Contract Wildcats Captain would join him?

Yeah I agree - Need to pursue Bevo hard. He would be the best person to turn Sydney around and make them a credible team without breaking the budget (ala Goorjian).
He's a media friendly bloke too, so he would do well trying to get the Sydney media on board. I know the media in Perth loved him.
Only major concern as a Wildcats fan would be him taking Damien Martin with him at the end of the season. Though I would not say it's a done deal, by all accounts Martin is very happy in Perth. Its not like he can't go back home in the off season and still play for Perth.

How many championships has Bevo won with the Wildcats and West Sydney combined Westover has 2 with the Tigers

Bevo can win championships no question. For Sydney though, I'm guessing they would be happy just to be winning regularly, play good consistent basketball and see finals action on a consistent basis and draw bigger crowds and be in the news a bit more. A coach like Bevo can achieve that.
Why not find the best coach in the league who has developed a stable program and made the most of resources available (Geordie) and hire his main assistant (like teams do with the Spurs staff in the nba).

I'd like to see what Bevo would do with a team with more limited resources than Perth. I'm curious as I think he's overrated.
It seems that the hawks are a day to day proposition rihght now, getting paid week by week if they are lucky. Gordie to the Kings would be a smart move for all.
Yep I agree Bevo or Gordi would be great to get a real coach
People who wrote Westover must be Al himself.
The guy cannot coach, won a couple of championships due to big money spending by Seamus. During televised timeouts it was laughable what he was saying.
Somehow got a gig in Japan which didn't last and now is desperate.

Al was very successful in Japan (believe they made the finals) and only chose to come back for family reasons. the club had every intention to retain him
He may want to coach at home not abroad but there are barely any positions in the NBL with only eight clubs. Therefore desperate?
