i believe billy hopkins is taking up an assistant's role with the brisbane bullets.....good luck billy!!

No truth about the southern women they announced at their last home game after game function that Noel will be there next year. Don't know about the others.

Noel is one of the true gentlemen in south australian basketball and southern would be foolish to let him go anywhere, keep up the good work big fella

Do you have confirmation from Glenn that it's true?

It would be a Mistake for Glen to Leave Centrals ... he has done well with what has got to work with.. Which everyone Knows isnt alot ... They are Inproving .. I think Glen is the Right guy for the Job ..

Looks like the truth is blind.

babalouie ... what More could he Have done with the team he had .... Changing of coachs isnt gonna Make any diffrence if they play with the same team as this year ..

I hear Glen is applying for other jobs. It is a shame if he leaves Centrals but I do understand.

yes good luck to billy, his dedication to the game is second to none and I am sure he will do SA proud up there.

There is an ex-ABA ex-WNBL coach back in SA. Wonder which club will work out who it is, and secure his services for next year.

heard West might be looking for two ABA coaches

(#46261) your an idiot. Centrals are on the right track developing their juniors (14 Girls are doing okay, arn't they?). If you buy a senior team ala Woodville (Rees, Elder, KB) then everyone will jump on your for not developing your juniors.

Yes, centrals are struggling, but at least Glen is being pro-active by building from the bottom up, which is a long-term solution.

Yes, i did mean Nathan Jones. It hasn't been 12 months since he's been back tho has it?

It would be a shame for such a great basketball mind to not be involved in the SA (BASA or otherwise) program.

Little trev, Centrals are not going that well in 14s. I beleive they lost to South last week. Glen doesn't have much do with that. I think he should move on to a cub that will appreciate his work.

I would assume Sharon Simons would get the Forestville job, she has filled in for Dean all year and certainly has basketball knowledge. Why would South get rid of a coach that has made it to the finals and sat top or second for most of the year? If Glenn was so fantastic why did he leave and why did they still lose every game even after paying for an import. Not that flash if you ask me. Centrals need a coach who will attract players.

Isnt it great that everyone has an opinion on what centrals need. All talk no action

(#46289) - which came first the chicken or the egg?

A coach of that calibre (to 'attract' players) would obviously be highly sought after. Therefore, why would they go to a club with no players? Its a catch 22, but at least someone at Centrals is working with the 14 girls. (12's are bottom, 14's 5th, 16's bottom).

its gotta start somewhere, and i dont think you'll be able to find a coach who will accept a job without players, and hope to attract some without paying them.

Centrals Didnt Buy An import ... I think you will Find she came as more of a fava to Glen ... she was a Former Player coached By Glen ..... Glen did as well as he could with the team he had ...Phil Jackson wouldnt have got those girls winning games .... The Fact is they need to Recruit players ... Which wont be Easy ... before u see any inprovement ... A new coach isnt going to change that..

Woodville won the title - Fact
Woodville pay key personell - Fact

I never said they wouldn't have won without those players, but the facts remain.

The point i was making about Woodville (if you actually read what i wrote, instead of jumping to defend the green), was that they have coped a fair bit of slack for the junior program, while paying senior players. That was my point, nothing to do with either program by itself.

The Truth - I thought there was a BASA requirement to pay imports a minimum salary per week, and a return airfare ticket? Am I mistaken?

Any idea who is going to take the West men's head coaching position?

dion grieger

Fact - Centrals pay their imports

Fact - Centrals pay their imports with funds from their junior programme

Fact - Centrals coach is American born

Fact - Little Trevor is a nob

Fact - Every team pay their players/imports

Fact - Every team pay their players/imports from funding from the senior program

Fact - there are a lot of knobs on this forum

I really dont kno bout the BASA rules... But i kno she was playing as a fava to Glen it wasnt the Team shinning record that got her to come to Australia

Fact - little red frogs from the canteen make you play better position defense

Fact - never trust a red headed woman who wears black underwear

I would play as a favour too, if a) I was getting paid
and b) I got to come to Australia for a paid holiday, not a bad gig for someone who averaged around 10 points and 10 turnovers.
and she only had to play 9 games!

Fact - Money can buy you a championship. See Woodville men.

Fact - Redheads rock!

Fact - every person writing Fact before everything they write is not funny anymore.

False - every person writing Fact before everything they write is still kinda funny.

TRUE OR FALSE - Can anyone who posted a "Fact" post actually prove their fact???

I think if Glen stayed at Centrals he would attract better players.

Before this season no one knew who he was but he has proved to be a guy with a lot of passion and smarts about the game.

He seems like a quality coach.

It would be a very enticing opportunity for disgruntled players to pack up at their current club and go to a club that would treat them like gold, and with a coach that knew what he was doing. Plus, it would have massive benefits for basketball in S.A. Centrals would get off the bottom, everyone would treat you like a hero, it would be good.

If I were Glen, I would find out who is not happy and get on the phone.

Glenn is prolly the best womens coach in SA basketball. He just doesn't need to be distraced by anything else. Like JDO work. The juniors' game has improved but the membership has declined under his tutelage.

Disbelief - As I understand it, to get a VISA to play out here, an import needs to be paid around $560/week + accomodation.

Can anyone confirm or deny that?

There may be ways around this, including jobs on the side?

meant DISTRACTED not distaced

i believe that glenn is canadian, not american

In regard to post (#46348) Centrals never gave Larkin a paid holiday here she paid for herself to come over etc. Some people might not believe it but she came over as a favour and also for the experience

I'm hearing that Glenn may be a Rocket or Sabre next year.

How did Glen "improve the Juniors program"
