Say what now.... this has no background info for anyone to know what you're talking about in relation to anything! I assume its a bball thing.

Agree, who cares. I believe Warren Dawson has been working with the club the past few seasons. If Cavs are at all speaking with Lester it would be via this connection.
Strong would be a good pick up at this level for any team.

What would his coaching credentials be to be named Coaching Director?

Much like other clubs, you suck up to the right people you get what you want. Warren Dawson is an expert at it, just look at his record at Rangers playing the president son 200 more games than he should of to keep his job.
Not to tarnish Lester, his profile is enough to get that gig at Cranbourne.

Wow!! What a complete crock of crap.

Firstly Warren Dawson is the Director of Coaching at Casey, Has been for three seasons and isn't going anywhere.

Secondly Stewart Baird is the current Senior Head Coach and Head Coach of the Div 2 Mens Team and has recently been offered an extension to his agreeement which he has accepted.

Thirdly Lester Strong doesn't even have immigration status that would allow him to play anywhere at the moment and wont have until a Dept of Immigration appeal is heard.

Get your facts right.

Finally, say what you want about Warren Dawson but to say he sucks up to people is complete rubbish. You are presumably talking about Dave Godfrey when you say "the presidents son". Lou Godfrey was not President of Dandenong at any time while Dawson was coaching there. Again, get your facts right.

Dawson also took Dandenong to the ABA National Championship game two years in a row with a team that by Dandenong's own rules had to include no less than 7 Dandenong juniors so I think his credentials speak for themselves.

My understanding is that Lester is more than likely going to be deported. Right or wrong he has overstayed his visa by the law and the immigration dept. rules are black and white.

Sorry my bad - Cranbourne and Casey different clubs, my bad Dawson and Baird at Cav nation. Doing a good job


The Flog back with vengeance! Correct Lou Godfrey wasn't the president, he was just the Board Member assigned and in control of the senior mens program at the time referenced and over ruled anything and everything that could impact guess who???

It's well known Godfrey basked in the glory of trying to recruit imports and dictate the way the men's program was run at Rangers, even drummed up media attention to promote himself...What a Flog!!!!

Here are some facts to read!!!

#480964 - You seem to know a lot about Dawson and Strong? Bring back "The Flog"! You cant help yourself, that stress disorder really fires up the key board hey!
Should I post some more facts....just temp me!

Keep it going you have a real fan base now, heaps of people jumping on here just to "break down the B.S."(quoted from article) keep all this comedy going!

The first year Godfrey was moved aside and forced to let go of "Selecting imports" and dictating to the Men's Head coach in comes DQ and Lewis....who when they arrived after a few training sessions were publically questioned at the time of not being up to it.
Good Call, not up to it? - just the best two import combo's in the league with DQ being the best!

Further more no issues with Dawson or Baird both good servants and coaches of basketball. Strong is a ripper too. All three good enough to be involved anywhere/any club.

Thanks for another burst of energy and stress release.

Lester has confirmed it himself when a SCM club enquired about him playing for them next year he said he has already committed to Casey next year.

I have seen the emails that were sent!

What`s is the change? They are actually going to win something rather then beating there chest about how good they are all the time???

The Casey way is to stay in lower divisions and try and chase championships, wouldn`t be a surprise if they stayed in D2 with all that talent to try and get a chip.

Ex SEABL player and an import and they have been far from dominating a weak ass D2 pool.

Casey, Shep and Keysborough in D2 the rest were playing for scraps since round 1.

Much more impressive seeing what teams like Warnambool are doing in D1 with a bunch of local kids and a few vets.

The ex VJBL player returning isDarren Best

All is sorted with Lester.

Best is under contract until March in the UK

I don't know to much about how you qualify for each division but if Casey does stay in Div 2 due to BigV not allowing them to go up. you can't blame them for bringing in players like strong and best to ensure a successful season?

The Big V are happy for them to go up but the want to just collect (buy) silverware.

You would think that an "elite" program would aim for the highest level they can play.

The problem is they just spin what ever crap they want to their members and they believe it. " oh the big v won't promote us" complete B.S.

Keysie and Paky are looking at possibilities to go up to D1

D1 should be cut down to the top 10 sides and the rest dropped to D2. D2 then made into the division with the conferences like a few years back. D2 sides are well off the pace of the D1 sides at the momment.

Packy and Keysy would get killed in D1. To small and don`t have the decent coaches to compete at that level.

10 is too little, you need to play a min of 22 games a season to make it worth while so if you play each other twice each Div should have 12 teams over 18 rounds so 4 double header weekends.

With new teams coming in to D2 and teams coming down it would make the new D2 way too big

Casey early favourites for D1 championship

They were gonna win all 3 titles this year as well. Still thought they were going to do that as far as round 6.

How's everything going down there right now?

#Cavsnation ... Nation of what???????????

Walls are going to come tumbling down on this place. The curtain is going to be pulled back to revela what is underneath.

Local paper looks like has turned on them as well. Pointing out all of the former players and people involved who handed them a loss last weekend. No mention of the money man Le$ter $trong, didnt have much of an impact?

What's up with all this?

Youth think they will be the favourites?

Who are the new Casey signings ??

Hope they have introduced some younger talent or they will be in strife.

And now it's all fallen to poo.

Wel done Casey now going and sacking your coach a week after playing in a grandifnal against a team that has an import AND a current NBL Player.

5 year extension in 2014, I thought we were only in 2016?

Really? Stu has been given the flick? Watching Michael Davies win the title after one season would be a kick in the nuts surely!
