Not all was happy behind the scenes from many reports.

So are the top class ladies staying or going.they were hopeful of State champ level,but that appears to be off the table?

Didn't overuse hie bench personnel.they are still pulling the splinters out

Why was the men's coaching position not advertised?

Um if you win a championship you CAN NOT claim that the coach got it wrong with minutes.

I'd say that minutes were about right. Sometimes people just don't like it.

Winning the championship should be the ultimate achievement in basketball.

I feel for the coach

The men's team went down in grand final in3.not bad with average list apart from a couple of standouts.

With a little bit of movement,possible champions.
Why not stick with the current coach

'THE BEAR' I think the point is why not stick with a coach that WON the championship?

Plus the Mens team had the best player in the league in Cory. That guy is amazingly good.

Hey,don't get excited.i didn't have anything to do with it,but,it appears he know he was out the door even before the title was won.it is a strange one,as that was a very good team,GOING PLACES.obviously,it has hit the fan.

Yes,Cory is the best player in D1M,but,I'm sure you understand one player cannot win you a title.take him out of that team and they would more than struggle.

Regarding comment above about not using the bench. Just had a look at their seasons stats. Seems even the 10th player on the list averaged 13 plus minutes. Surely you can't complain about that at D1 level and winning a title ?

Even the two stars in Lucas and Jackson only played 30 per game.

Pretty sure that's three straight years Championshio coaches out the door at the Gulls

2015
2016
2017

On a roll.

WOW. Must be people lining up to go coach there now...

#1 KPI for new women's coach- keep all players feeling warm and fuzzy and don't put perform the men's team.

Wrong

The decision not to reappoint the coach had nothing to do with minutes.

Speaking to people at the club it had nothing to do with minutes and previous coach in 2015 had to move interstate otherwise would have still been coaching. As for men's I am good mates with a player there and he mentioned that all players loved the club and coach and would all be returning in 2018. Saying that Standerfer & Brasser are the Men's team as all teams rely on a couple of bug guns.

Probably should read Big Guns! But yes your right on the mark!

Seems it's another case for a coach of keeping your main group and rotation happy enough so that you’re successful and win games. While at the same time keeping the last 3/4 happy enough so that they don’t cause you issues.

Speaking to players and people at the club his biggest issue was not cleaning out at the end of last year and getting rid of the dead wood, should have brought up youth players into those spots.

Just WOW, what happened to his assistant who brought Jackson with him and others? Did an issue with a junior coach go south too? Youth Womens coach moved on during year. Was he weilding too much power as he was assisting U12 Girls coach who also took over youth womens. Was this percieved as a threat to the DOC?
Or is it that they are embarassed that Womens program has shot past the Mens at a million miles an hour or that they don't want to spend the money on the womens program because they will need every cent to put into Mens to get a couple of more Imports once their import is naturalised so they can have a shot at getting to SCM?
Personally i thought he was alright, junior/youth girls could train with his team so my belief was that he was there to win AND develope the youth for the future, but you cant have youth who at best have played only Met 4 in jumiors moving up against D1 Women. Let them develope. gain experience in Youth for an extra season.

Interesting

This is hilarious
If you seriously think chelsea would sack a coach for not giving players court time then I don't know what basketball world you are watching!
It's not my story to tell but the true reason to why the coach was sacked after the championship game will eventually come out and it will mind blow you as to how a coach can act like that!
90% of the team will not play under him again even though the championship was won! And in all seriousness... they wouldn't have been there if Geelong and Werribee were at full strength!!!! I hear it was one thing after another from the start of the season!!
If you knew the reason to why the coach was sacked you will 100% agree with the club and their actions to step him
Good luck to the ladies and their new coach! Hopefully he's mature and professional

A number of Players, club officials and the coaching staff were not on the same page with future direction. All parties have agreed to go in seperate ways to pursue other opportunities.

So the family club has fallen apart.what happened to his very good assistant,left mid season,strange goings on all round
