Whats the point of linking to paywalled content?

There is nothing new here. It's been going on for years. Major sponsor / coach suing the club for defamation.
There many ways to bypass paywall articles anonymous. I incidentally have paywall access.

Doesn't help when guy suing has a pretty big media company. Other clubs have been worse run than Sandy lately, but this gets publicity due to people involved and their connections. Bit of flexing going on.

I hear there was a secrete crisis meeting last night? Any idea what that was about?

I reckon this forum needs to back off this one. My kids play at a neighboring association and I know what it's like to have entitled Bayside parents try to ruin the reputations of good people because they feel their kid has been hard done by. The current operators are working hard to keep kids on the court. Which this forum often forgets with it's focus on Elite basketball. There are probably 4 or 5 thousand kids playing there every week. The 4 or 5 transfers out of their rep teams really shouldn't be the focus.

Looks like a rehash of an article in early 2018. Same issues raised and same people commenting. Nothing new there accept this time Brendan Joyce has put his name to it. That might cost him judging by the SBA's response. Ouch. He needs to move on. The stuff he is commenting on is 12 months ago. Isn't he and his sponsor mate now at Ballarat?

Previous board and management were moved on for a reason. They need to take their balls and go home. They weren't popular and they aren't wanted back. They had their chance and they royally blew it by treating people with contempt and having a "jobs for the boys" mentality. The article in question is a blatant hatchet job to destabilise the SBA.

It's not their plaything to destroy for others. We're talking about a medium sized association with about 10,000 members.

Lets put this into context, a disgruntled ex coach, who has coached at the highest level, who was sacked (his words) from a small time junior basketball association, is apparently highly regarded by the industry, is having a stoush with a junior basketball association that by all accounts has made major improvements since they got rid of the ex president, major sponsor and coaches who were sucking the coffers dry. Is it me or is that weird? Hello, its junior basketball? That's one massive Ego.

Big shock Brendan Joyce is involved.

What's all this about?

Can anyone explain what’s happened?

Nothing has happened. Disgruntled coach have a winge in the media about his sacking 12mths ago.

Pretty sure it's about defamation. Which is a biggie,junior or not. Oh it's not just junior.

Very sad that the same rubbish keeps being brought up by a small number departed members, coaches and employees. They need to get on with their lives and stop taking pot shots at a small sporting associations that cates for mostly kids. I'm especially disappointed that Brendan would infer that there is an issue with coaching in the rep program, I think he did a good job with turning things around, including recruiting quite a few of the current people he seems to be bagging.

I would have thought that the planned four courts not getting funding is a bigger issue for the club.

The courts do have funding and are going ahead. It's a beat up.

The article says there was a number of sackings.

What was with that? What was the reasoning? The people they sacked all were unreal from my experience there

According to the article there was an operational review in early 2018. From responses above looks like 5 senior fulltime coaches in a small junior basketball association was seen as unnecessary and financial drain. You have to agree, seems over the top. Can't imagine Joyce came cheap!!! This stuff ids 12mths old anyway.

Brendan Joyce = Trail of Destruction.
