QBL people always come on here saying how strong the league is, i just see teams paying 3 guys a ton of money, surrounding them with maybe 3 barely competent role players, then filling the rest of the roster with Big V youth league standard players.

Does it make the league stronger because the top 10-15 guys in the league may on paper look better than the top 10-15 from NBL1, when players 30 onwards in the league would struggle to be in a rotation of most NBL1 teams?

I think the person means Johnathon Goodman looks like a bit of a loser!

Why, how many games has he won? Diamond valleys a proud club! Knox Dandenong bulleen Sandringham etc, all good clubs.

head coach for DV women, lol
How he gets these gigs is a mystery but he does
He needs to take up tennis and leave basketball alone

Can someone explain how Bozeman averages 32 in QBL then 18 in NBL1, if its a weaker league?

QBL is an upgraded domestic comp really , it has one or two players per team that would be "ok “in an NBL1 team the rest would struggle to make a Bigv D2 so when you see players getting big numbers in QBL it's usually because they are the best on that particular team

Now saying that , the same happens in the NBL1 as well in the lower teams, when you have one player jacking up all the shots but still shooting at a poor percentage but makes double digit scores every week , it’s not because they are an “outstanding" player it’s because they are the only ones shooting the ball for that team

Lot more to playing basketball that scoring

Anon re head coach DV, I think you're right.

Please do not insult NBL1 and compare it as at the same level to Waratah League.
NSW Waratah League is the lowest of levels of basketball compared to other states top level leagues and would not compete against NBL1 teams.

Bozeman also averaged 30 in Div 1 Men Big V when he played for Bulleen, then went up to QBL and averaged more.

But people are suggesting 2 tiers above Div 1, is worse than QBL?

What did the DV coach do?

A league can't be judged by the individual performance/numbers of a select few players.
Boseman would have a different role this year and, I haven't studied the stats, I assume his shots/game are down on last year. He is surrounded by some pretty decent players in Iggy, import, Majok and now Trist who all would need shots as well.
Similar with Kendle, different team = different role.
You see the same thing when players switch teams in the same league, they don't always have the same role and therefore numbers.
I think we would find that the top teams in QBL/SBL would have a starting five that would compete with the NBL1 teams but the depth wouldn't be there.
BigV CM top teams would also compete in NBL1. McKinnon would compete and beat teams like DV, Eltham, Ringwood, Sandringham and Knox

James, you'll have to ask the players, or maybe not!
Nasty piece of work!

A poor display of coaching by the diamond valley nbl girls coach just handed the COE their first win. How long can that club tolerate this loser?
Bottom of the ladder.
If they want to win he has to go.

Yes I wonder where they dig up these dinosaur coaches,

Goodman - former assistant at Bendigo WNBL, was the head coach of Hawthorn and also did some gigs with Country Vic while in Bendigo.

Seems to be running his reputation a little thin with this DV Gig

He has the players but can't win a game!

^
They won't win games when they only rely on one player either , basketball is supposed to be a "team “ sport

I am sure DV are not paying as much as Huskies to keep on losing.

It may fall to the board who allows this to continue!
Obviously the coach doesn't care!

You only have to look at the stats in games played and that tells you something is majorly wrong eg 30min = 3points.
I agree not sure if the coach is interested!!

Goodman is wrecking that club

Now in his mid-twenties, Malou finds himself playing NBL1 with the Albury-Wodonga Bandits where Australian coaches and fans can finally get a consistent look at his game in a level of competition where his play can be more easily compared to others.

Can Emmanuel Malou make the leap?

Goodman is wrecking the club... are you serious?
3 coaches in 3 years. the year before they left for SEABL they were in the bottom 3 on Big V.


Which means they need to look further into their club admins, is Mc Aughtry still overseeing that clubs player development ?

Where has Ross gone??

they kept that silent. Goodman sliding into the top job.

McAughthy is still there and will be for a long time I would think, even when he left that kept his role open for him, what i understand does a pretty good job down there.

LC - the article is good.

I think we need more of this around the NBL1 league. SEABL didn't promote well enough or have the social media reach that this new league is producing and has the potential to produce

Here is the problem with the DV team and the way they are being coached.firstly, body language is an amazing thing, coach Goodman watch the video and look at the way you carry yourself, your body language and your negativity has rubbed off on your players in the worst way possible and that is in "confidence". you lead them and your frustration in the things that they are not doing for you is showing, go back to basics but first fix your body language, teach them, mentor them, coach them and stop getting angry at them as your losing them.

Irrespective of the who plays and who doesn't what needs to happen is you the coach needs to go back to basics, the offence is not fluent with the cattle you have go back and run a more motion spread the floor offence (watch the games)and look at how many 0 pass offence and 1 or 2 pass offence you have to score a lot as I see it and is causing you grief, turnovers, bad decision making and lack of control in offence.

Implement a motion with cuts away screens and dribble penetration with you bigs staying low and let them show you what they can do. ( you have the talent to do this) stretch your offence in more ways than just spreading the floor, implement a 3 to 4 pass offense motion with movement and allow your players the chance to make a better decision instead of rushed ones.

The defensive efforts are terrible you need to go back to basics in communicating. make it easy for them Jonno (help left- help right) (screen left- screen right) work on your defence if you can't score mate at least work hard to stop the opposition from scoring and run the ball in transition. From what I see and possible everyone they have some potential and IQ but need to just play a more spread game not two high post rubbish.

Leave your bigs low as much as possible let Anneli and the other players attack with low post options at least that way they can rebound the ball more and score easier.

For god sake man get rid of the press they scored every time against you, don't press to steal the ball just contain to make your opposition have only sub 16 seconds to play offence, surely your team can deny, work together and commit to defence for 16 seconds each time down the court.

Take the break to start afresh on yourself and the way you are perceived by your player's Coach, you are the leaders of the team you need to make them believe in you, follow you and commit for you at the moment the look diss engaged and confused with not only what they are doing but how you are presenting yourself.

take this advice or not but it is the truth, so when you come back from the break, play a brand of basketball that is upbeat and exciting and rewarding for your players, make them look at you and see that you want to make them better and you want them to win.

Your team has potential if you play this brand of basketball and you show that you can help them not hinder them.

Watch yourself on the video first, not the game, then watch the game, then try what I suggest and let's see how you go when you come back from the break. you have a great smart core group who can run and penetrate off the dribble they need you help coach, not a hindrance.

Dr coach lol

As if Goodman will change , he's coached this way forever, and if he’s now head honcho and running the daughter of the chairman and major supporter like he does, he’s not going anywhere.

Guys, it's all good feedback just trying to help a coach in need of some help. Let’s just see if the message gets through.
Oh and Anon? Have coached a bit no need for names my summary speaks volumes.

Oh I think he, is to much talk not to be notice or be made aware if it.
Anyone want to provide some constructive ideas to help feel free.

Glad you look here for good experienced information on how to coach Anon or is that you coach Goodman? who says he wouldn't look here to see how to Coach next week? Either way happy to help let me know if I can assist you more in the future and enjoy watching the games and providing great feedback.

Thanks to the poor coaches dv women nbl1 we got a W .
Kristy harrower beaten by a 13yr old nbl1 came from diamond valley, so the rot continues. Diamond valley women's cemented on the bottom of the ladder.
When teams are losing the coaches look at the players, but who looks at the coaches?
Only in the AFL!
