Berry in to rescue the 18 boys
Where is Jury ? not on the list and haven't seen him at Premier League for a few games

No applicants at some clubs

A few don't list their head coaches until just before trials. Some years not even until list posted.

forte isnt a coach he is a cheer leader

which clubs havent had applicants

How can someone know some clubs had no applicants ? Really.

Many will have some continue on and already agreed to that and then when they get other applications in they need to balance it all to make sure coach matches teams and abilities, and the work and family balance of all their coaches in relation to training times and games. Great clubs work at it and don't just randomly plonk coaches in thinking its all okay. And others don’t try to gloat either like they have a great team because they have done this and that. You just need to look at how a team was when they arrived and what shape they were in when they finish with that coach. Thats a pretty good measure. Take a look at Junior ladder positions, if you know the players you can take a guess at who are good coaches or just mates with the right people. Just because someone is doing something, it doesn’t mean they are good at it, qualifications don’t even matter in fact. Its the motivation, the natural talent and desire to do right by the juniors. They are no pawns in a coaches game to be used and yelled at by protected unaccountable coaches.

Where is Dean Nyburgs?

The buffet probably

Jayden is a clown, literally. Did he bring out the hula hoops at Southern like when he was at Norwood or waiting to get these 16s.
Lot of Norwood rejects making up that lineup.

Surprised Vivian wanted to coach boys

Taking after footsteps of Mesecke!

More than one club has not had many/any applicants. One of the easiest ways to tell that is that every parent is beeing begged to coach.

Or sons of coach

Why would you these days. Years ago parents were glad to have a decent coach, now most have stars in their eyes and if their kid isn't getting minutes in div 1 then it's the coach to blame.

cant be south apparently they are interviewing coaches

EM

Well South nailed it with their Premier League men's selection!!!

Forestville, any others???

BOYS

Under 10 - Trudy Sheffield
Under 12 - Steve Shinnick
Under 14 - Paul Harris
Under 16 - Andrew Simons & Jason Dix
Under 18 - Brad Haydon

GIRLS

Under 10 - Kylie Newbold
Under 12 - Jodie Bell
Under 14 - Darryl Crump
Under 16 - Damian Weeks
Under 18 - Lynne Holland
Under 23 - Brian Penna

Looks like Forestville are finally getting serious about their boys program.

U16 - Simons and Dix
U18 - Haydon

The 16s and 18s are performing better than the 12s and 14s this season

The U14's are going up to U16’s, they’ll have a lot of work on their hands

Correct. Maybe Forestville should take their u10-14 boys seriously since that's where the talent deficit is.

Surely Andy wouldn't go after anyone from another club to boost his chances to win?????
(BTW, can you get junior imports?)

Ole man Andy is gonnna coach like it the 80s again. Forestville Vs West clashes on Fridays will be like a timewarp.

Captain Obvious, you are clearly from Forestville. You just don't get it. Already talking about "bringing talent across".

Talent is developed on and off the floor. This misconception by the old schoolers, that can't coach, that it grows on trees is the precise issue with basketball. Ego based coaches thinking they can seriously influence the outcome on gamenight by some kind of magic, not realising that PLAYERS win games. Producing players is much more nurture than nature. And what you do on gamenight has little to do with it. You have to develop those players and if you do that you might get the odd one land on your lap too.

I remember the last HP Manager once saying, great players will become great no matter what they do or which program they come from. Fascinating assertion to come from someone that is paid to develop players. Actually quite funny. That is the prevailing view amongst many that just don't know where to begin, only where to end. There's much more to it and that is supposed to be why these ppl have a job!

Great, if those can develop. We will see.

Interesting that HP managers kid went through three different clubs too.

"It's not so much the development of talent"

Thanks for the contribution, Captain oblivious.

Developing talent, team-first attitudes and a love of the game is everything. You're just encouraging poaching, which is a bandaid fix for clubs and does nothing to benefit basketball in SA.

Captain Obvious. If you forget short term fixes and take some lumps in the short term you build a program. THose kids will win and succeed much bigger later on. To be honest, your view is in the majority though.

Forestville as a club just don't value player development.

It is all about recruitment. It is more of a cultural issue than anything. Through culture longstanding members develop beliefs that drives decisions, perspectives in many regards be it what they value in players as well as coaches.
This dictates who stays, who goes, who is talent id'd etc.

THAT is very hard to break and I can't see anything changing going forward. It is not about the people involved, they can't help what their inherent beliefs and values systems are. Not even saying there is anything wrong with it. It has obviously helped them be fairly successful at senior level.

339 has pretty much nailed it.

No club really develops players that will always be left to the parents and the player to put in the time.

Unless their playing stocks are so low that's all they have left is to develop, although even then I have seen politics/nepotism take precedence over development.

Remember it takes time and no club is willing to invest in long term planning because like politics the performance measure time frame is too small and only success is the measure.

If the measure was player turn over or tracking the performance improvement of age groups through the years as a constant then you would understand who develops teams and who recruits team development there is a distinct difference.

so 13 went elsewhere after juniors or after multiple years in juniors
and most of current PL roster besides Teys, Rios, Mays, Winter (?)

I think we are trying to figure out if this person is actually hating on Forestville or not. Based on this information it seems they are. Yes, we know the Cheatgles don't develop guys. There are a couple of good ones there though forsure.

More have been let down by the cheatgles on this list than developed.

Gee that Forestville list looks like a "who's who" of recycled players that Mavs PL have taken in over the years.

its interesting how some clubs can organise trials and get coaches organised and announced early, yet some clubs havent

Braiden ousey and Brad rathjen to add to the list?

Strongly doubt a few clubs would know who their coaches will be.

Trials on the 18th and 25th for a lot of clubs, surely you'd have at least head coaches placed by now in readiness for that?

External trials for some clubs this week, how is a player supposed to decide whether to attend or not if they don't know who coaches are?

1. It's a trial, not a commitment.
2. If you want to know, then ask beforehand. Worst-case scenario is they don't disclose and you don't bother.

I love the forestville list of guys who many have played juniors at multiple clubs before playing a season with the eagles so they must have developed them!
Sturt are the only club who can claim juniors on more than one summer seasons worth.

714 that is possibly the dumbest response ever on hoops.

We're talking about clubs NOT KNOWING who their head coaches are, and your solution is to ask them? How the hell are they supposed to answer if they don't know?

***Club Announcement***

In a big week of news, the club board have approved the trial appointment of Sharon Simons in the role of Junior Development Manager. This is an increase to her previous role of Head Junior Development Officer.

Sharon will take over responsibility of the junior basketball program including District, Aussie Hoops, Eagles Academy and Mini Eagles. She will also be responsible to develop and support our junior coaching group and implement a Forestville 'Style of Play' with input from our experienced group of new Age Group Coordinators.

The club board have found that due to increased growth, the club needed to invest heavily in the development of our young athletes and current coaches so they can all reach their full potential.

This appointment will allow Club Manager, Shane Croxton to focus his energy into the day to day administration of the club, grow our Domestic teams, support the sponsorship committee and provide ongoing support to our Premier League and senior teams.

We wish Sharon all the best for her new position and hope it is the start of a new era of success for the club!

720, this was the question:

"how is a player supposed to decide whether to attend or not if they don't know who coaches are? "

"They", in this context being the player. So in fact, the topic I responded to was not about "clubs NOT KNOWING who their head coaches are".

Moron.

735, comprehension is not your strong point, is it?

Moron? Pot. Kettle.

And here's me thinking your last post was dumb, then you went and outdid yourself.

Some interesting appointments at Rockets

South and Woodville probably the only clubs that haven't announced

^ and West?

Centrals??? Willie still probably scratching his head.

Have I missed Sturt's?

willie doesnt pick coaches, not in his job description, he only chats to parents and sells fairytales

Mavs listings must be an all time low for a club that doesn't have many teams? A club in free fall!!!!

Any Norwood news about lineups?

As far as Eastern Mavs go as a club "you reap what you sow". If the culture is terrible and there is no direction from the top down you will seal your fate for many more years to come. Nothing is a quick fix after years of damage and many coaches choose not to be a part of a club with a bleak future. Juniors (parents) will take the option of travelling down the freeway to be involved with a club that actually offers a future.

As much as clubs providing some substance around their coaching announcements these days is good I don't understand why everyone wants to know before hand.

Clubs that are successful at development have a highly experienced, expert Coaching Director in place, long history of attracting and appointing outstanding coaches and a proven player development culture, process, prioritisation and practice over many years.

Coaching appointments do help predict trends and direction but if you are deciding your club on who is coaching next season, rather than longer term components, then you are moving or staying for the wrong reasons.

031

absolutely rubbish, if you are at a club and they have announced a coach that is completely incompetent, and you really dont want to waste your time and money with that coach, of course those people want to know who is coaching at other clubs

Club Loyalty now that's funny.

Are these the same clubs that accept new players particularly in the lower grades and then after playing one game tell the parents that there is going to be a rotation policy on playing each week that does not apply to the coaches or team managers child.........wheres your club loyalty then........or a club that says yep your a div x player then half way through the season says we need to develop next years players, player x and y you have to go down a grade ok then what do they need to develop to retain the place oh nothing its just club policy......I think you view on club loyalty may not have seen some of the behaviours I have seen.

cat

got nothing to do with club loyalty, i would rather my son not climb through hoola hoops at division 1 trainings

So trials started today and the next few weeks, any news on the clubs like woodville, west, centrals etc. Despite the arguments above, amateur to not announce coaches before trials.

Where?

Took ages but I found them.

Centrals committee would like to congratulate the following coaching groups on their successful appointments for the upcoming Summer season.

U10G
Corie Russell

U10B
Curtis Scaife
Mel Partington
Mel Hughes
Anthony Francis

U12G

Courtney McGowan

U18B
Rupert Sapwell
Keegan Hall
Jarrod Hall
Luke Liccione
Sharon Hallett

Willie coaching not surprising, keeping seat warm for Boone if she comes back. But he'll have to recruit heavily in that group

Absolute coincidence that the Centrals presidents daughter is in that age group Willie is taking. And another coincidence that KB was coaching his wife in PL. Guess nepotism isn't just for Norwood.
Wonder where this money is coming from, crying poor and couldn't afford a JDO. Hopefully the finances are looked after or that it's a dip in the prezs own pocket.

Well Norwood haven't finalised their appointment yet ? JDO probably has to any hats on but one thing for sure parent coaching daughter/son happens at all clubs. Usually most of those children aren’t good enough to be in the team but clubs need coaches so it is looked over

Has West announced their coaches yet? Trials this Sunday

And Norwood and Woodvilles?

One more year for Mavs to bottom out completely it's seems.
When is the new committee going to be announced or are they struggling to fill spots there too?
Hell might even start getting some families back if they take the opportunity to change.
Could they even get players back in pl if there is a change? Let’s hope so unless there whole goal is to be one big social club with eastern hills!
Have to make some ballsy stance first but looking unlikely with coaches announced. All time low everywhere with coaches announced except u18 boys.
Due diligence? When club appointed others - I think not.

As a complete outsider, has anyone else put their hands up to help at Eastern? Bit hard to change things if there are no new volunteers, especially at committee level. Otherwise the same people do the same jobs and rot continues to accumulate.

They sure have but could not make headway's so lost passion

Eastern Mavericks

Girls
U10 - Amanda Williams
U12 - Joshua Lloyd
U14 – Shaun Bell
U16 – James Rattus
U18 – Scott Rattus

Boys
U10 – Joshua Lloyd
U12 – Boyd Fitton
U14 – Daniel Wray
U16 – Haydon Sewell
U18 – Daniel Stratford

Mavericks junior program is definitely moving in the right direction with lots of positives going forward

A strong coaching panel in place for next season, with a developmental focus

Due diligence?

Who do you have a problem with?

Mavericks line-up is not exactly D1 & D2 standard appointments apart from about 3 in both boys and girls. Unfortunately there has been some really good coaches that were disenchanted or just plain frustrated with the committee or "development vision" of the club over the past decade and have moved to clubs that offer a better pathway or coaching opportunity.

Most good coaching directors actually head hunt coaches that they believe will both benefit the age group and the club, Mavs have burnt so many bridges in the past that this isn't a realistic option anymore and parents are asked do you know how to coach?

Who has left (in terms of quality coaches) over the years? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I just don't know their history particularly well.

Nothing wrong with the coaches listed, most are proven successful coaches

A couple of newer ones, though solid

You actually sound like a coach that may have left?

There is always two sides to most exits

Eastern Mavericks D1 coaches only

Girls
U10 - Amanda Williams (former player/parent??)
U12 - Joshua Lloyd ?? - Very well respected at Mavs Current u16girls 2
U14 - Shaun Bell Yes
U16 - James Rattus Yes
U18 – Scott Rattus Yes but followed a group he has already had for 2 years. Normally clubs don't do this as it is unhealthy. - True however the right decision in this case, and a successful coach

Boys
U10 – Joshua Lloyd ?? Very well respected at Mavs Current u16girls 2
U12 – Boyd Fitton ?? years of State involvement current u14B 2
U14 – Daniel Wray ?? Former PL player South Great coach
U16 – Haydon Sewell ?? SA Country program coached div 1 16 previously
U18 – Daniel Stratford (Parent but looks like a decent choice)u16 boys SAC Head coach

Eastern Mavericks D2 coaches - Excellent depth of coaches

Girls
U12 - Britany Spooner - Current PL Player
U14 - Bianca Christian - apprentice under Steve Knight and Scott Rattus
U16 - Danny Millard - SAC u18 boys coach

Boys
U12 – Tracey Barns - Current u14 boys undefeated
U14 – Lachlan Warhurst - Club player, senior program and former cadet coach, very good coach early in his career
U16 – Nathon Jones - Current joint BM, Former WNBL, Former PL, former, SAC
U18 – Malcolm Penno - SAC Coach, former Sturt, current joint Basketball Manager

I like how we've swung from Mavs lineup being disastrous and a sign of the club's impending demise, to a lineup of all-stars.

Not surprising how little objectivity there is, and quite funny.

West:

BOYS:

U10.1: Blake Truslove
U10.2: Alice Gee
U12.1: Dion Grieger
U12.2: Corey Maclean
U14.1: Mark Williamson
U14.2: Tynan Benzija
U16.1: Brendan Mann
U16.2: Kienan Benzija
U18.1: Peter Ali & David Spear
U18.2: Brett Marinoff

GIRLS:

U10.1: Amy Grieger
U10.2: Irene Sourlatzis
U12.1: Amy Porter
U12.2: Amy Grieger
U14.1: Karen Winter
U14.2: Michaela Lappin
U16.1: Morgan Treloar
U16.2: Andrew Nowak
U18.1: Joe Noone
U18.2: Michael Clifford

114
Correct
Also It is quite funny how the club perceives themselves. That there lies the problems.
Not a solid argument re coaches as short term thought considered only and previous recent history has been discounted.
Post again around state champs results.
I hope for the clubs sake also that there is a plan when the honeymoon of hire of the new school stadium comes to an end.
Hope there is an option for kids in the area going forward as the next population demands it.
The club has a great opportunity to embrace so let's hope a change and a re focus will cash in.
Still need a few more changes/people managed to get it done.

2019/2020 BOYS COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT

Div 2 coach: Jad Kilvert

U12's - Ben Lomman

He will be assisted by Jett Swaffer, one of his previous national players.
Div 2 coach: Tom MacDonald

U16's - Tim Odell
Tim is excited about coaching at a club that values both development and winning, as well as the opportunity to coach a talented up and coming group of kids. Tim most recently went away with SA Metro U16 Boys and won a bronze medal. He has coached U23 div 1 boys, U18 div 2 boys for many years, and he won Forestville's boys coach of the year in 2018.

Div 2 coach: Jason Champion

U23's - Travis Chard
Moving into a new role Travis brings knowledge from many age groups, he's been involved with PL men for a few years and attended U20's Nationals this year with SA Metro. He's been to many club nationals and classics during his years in U14 Boys. He is most excited to rebuild the path from juniors to seniors at Norwood.

What a wonderful work of fiction.

Mavs are slightly off the boil on their coaching appointments compared to other clubs but in reality what do they have to pick from? I don't know any coach that is chomping at the bit to be at that club. Good luck to them its a growing area and perhaps this will bring people in? Having your headquarters based on school grounds isn't ideal as anything can happen

Yes it is THE Peter Ali!

To be honest I wouldn't mind coaching there, but it's just the drive there that puts me off. Same time as Centrals and Southern but it's just something about the trip there.

See that Woodville are slowly leaking coaches on FB unless it's somewhere else I haven't seen.
14 boys must have a good team, Tim Berry doesn't coach inferior kids, normally hops to where contenders are.

South Adelaide Basketball Club is proud to announce our Division 1 coaches for the 2019/20 season.

Under 10 Girls - Leanne Giltrow
Under 12 Girls – Harry Petkovich
Under 14 Girls – Belinda Szepessy
Under 16 Girls – Jeremy Cotterill
Under 18 Girls – Kelly Manning

Under 10 Boys – Terry Jones
Under 12 Boys – David Frick
Under 14 Boys – Jason Balfour
Under 16 Boys – Chad Friend
Under 18 Boys – Nicholas Wooden

After consultation with the head coaches, we will be naming their assistant coaches as well as coaches for all other divisions over the coming days.

Souths lineup easily the weakest.

Anyone want to have a go at ranking the clubs lineups?

Souths lineup is made up of committee people and friends from premier league down

Souths lineup is made up of committee people and friends from premier league down

Probably around the same time he had talent to warrant a top 4 placing.

Have Sturt announced their coaches?

West are second bottom at the moment. Not such a wonder coach

Not 1 committee member in South's Div 1 line-up. Not sure where you are making that up from. It is an ordinary line-up. Dickel clearly didn't recruit anything to bring to South. All talk no results

Brunson, typical ole school mindset.

Ole school beleives, talent makes the program not the other way round.

It IS environment and time, effort and expertise invested into the athletes that develops them to their potential.

Ole school believes. Treat your players like crap and make it about coaches because talent will ultimately rise to the top - is ole school bulldust.

How many young athletes at West have hit their full potential in the last decade?

I love sitting back and laughing at how clueless these club bods are, because that is way it has always being done.

060, so you think an elite coach would have taken this year's West u18 boys to a top 4 finish? This was the hypothetical Brunson was originally commenting about.

Anyone hanging shit on Ali as a coach has no idea. He and Speary do a great job with their 18s. Had some success early on but it's been lean pickings the last few years, through no fault of either of them.

Only thing I can fault with Ali and Spear is they tend to highlight 1 or 2 players and they're the only ones they run the same play to score. Not much motion or development of others. Sure the last few years they haven't had much but speaking to some parents kids got subbed out if they didn't get them the ball. And yes I know there's always the better kids that score in most teams, but actively discouraging kids to have a go is a bit sad.

2019/2020 GIRLS COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT
U10's - Andrew Filmer
Andrew has most recently been coaching Under 10-14 junior girls teams in the Norwood League & has a strong desire to see more U10 Girls developing the necessary individual and team skills required for a long and fulfilling time in Basketball.

Div 2 coach: Vinodh Nair

After playing for Norwood as a junior and her 7 years of coaching she is excited to bring her knowledge to this age group.

Div 2 coach: Brooke Keenihan

U14's - Shaun Ryan

All team coaches and assistance coaches will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Besides is it easy to get good coaches these days that don't have children involved"

NO. It is not easy, not easy at all. Delivering high-quality service to your members is definitely not easy.

So yes, getting OK coaches to coach their kid's team is easy.

Exodus from Centrals girls, not that there was much there to start with.

What age groups?

North having parents and a grand parent coaching div 1 teams

16 and 18 girls

Willie not coaching 16 girls as announced is the word going around.

Grades from what's been posted:

(Full time DO) Forestville A (excellent appointments)
(Full time DO) Sturt A- (still very good but not as good as previous years)
(Full time DO) Southern B+
(Part time DO) North B+
(Part time DO) West B
(Full time DO) Norwood C+ (wildcard)
(Full time DO) Centrals C (slipping)
(Part time DO) Eastern C- (only due to 3 decent name coaches)
(Full time DO) South D (worst line-up by a mile)

Woodville ??

Who's coaching 16 girls at Centrals?

Carlos, quite possibly the worst coach ever(except in his own mind). Was leading Woodville 16 div 2 girls to a terrible record and screaming and shouting. Was up Willies arse when he was at Norwood, absolutely a terrible decision, expect all the girls to quit Centrals. Lazy hire by Willie.

So in reality Centrals have taken Woodvilles rejects as their 14 and 16 coaches. Wonder if Benn will make a comeback to coach PL.
Funniest yet disturbing thing I saw was Carlos teaching girls how to do behind the back passes on backdoor cuts instead of worrying about overrated things like shooting, ball handling or passing.

Yes

545 Mavs an "E"
Relative to south
One of the coaches you may think is ok just flips between winning teams and then brings in some to help him
He was with the boys program for years until 2 years ago and that was a real struggle street poor program
Along with pl coach
Coincidence on how the club is going?
Least his father was a great skills coach but has been appointed at the wrong end of age groups you need to grow the skill from the bottom.
Hope Nathon Jones can steer the club back on track! He is a good egg
I really think other clubs will pencil easy wins in against Mavs boys especially
A lot of players are now playing for other clubs or not playing at all and they are local
A couple more changes in the club are required first for them to reset or face a merge to a social club
Hope they can get a Committe together first and get going soon
Does the league need them anyway?

Best of luck

Girls are leaving Centrals because they are being poached. Having been around the club the girls program has been ignored for ages. I have seen Carlos coach and what he did at Norwood and at Woodville was impressive. He is an upgrade in every way to what their past coaching has been.

Also I've heard the parents at Norwood protested him leaving as they all wanted him to stay but only a select loud influential few decided he was gone. My bet is anon 758571 is one of them.

Jojo been moved on by Norwood??

Why move except for the sole purpose of winning and saying he got more kids div 1 college scholarships. Go to freaking Eastern and turn that place around, wait, no publicity there!

Keep the noise down please! And your point, its 1 game.

^in laymans terms

shut up idiot

Early predictions for 14 nationals??

Those born this year I'm calling Eastern to be national champs!

"West 18 boys will be good - those lads are very fortunate. Will be a good brand of basketball played."

the uneducated - how's this holding up so far? Bottom after 3 rounds, lost by 60 last Friday.

Just taught to be robots, need a good player so absolutely everything is run for them. No good players mean they're shit. At least that old decrepit Dennis has shuffled off, main reason boys program were so terrible, just a cranky old pensioner with no clue.

Those Mavs coaches especially in the boys is less than underwhelming. No wonder they are a club in disarray.

I would take their lineup over a few of the metro clubs lineups.

Mavs boys very ordinary indeed. Looks like a parents lineup.

I often wonder why people knock Mavs junior coaching lineups. Theyd be the smallest club in terms of numbers and the geographically, at least in perception, the most isolated. Sure they haven't got this dream team of coaches like north have recruited, but good on the coaches named to put their hands up. Rojo, whilst not a people person, certainly knows his stuff and i assume he will help those coaches with x ans o's.
A lot of the time the team that has less talent but improves during the year are way happier than those with huge expectations on them, especially with pressure from wonder coaches. Eastern 18s had a good season last year with a lot of upsets despite not having as much talent. I assume they just became a team instead of a bunch of individual robots.

Mavs need to make a decision quickly
Social club or district Club?
More economic to become a social club which they should do well with a merger with eastern hills
Leave district to the more serious clubs. Kids with any ability bypass them if they have any sense anyhow.
Also how can an abusive coach get a spot
they should just be a social club and absorb eastern hills association as clearly coaches are not to standard

Who is the abusive coach?

Mavs are a dead end! Have had some good juniors that they have treated poorly. They are self inflicted in the male side of the program, and this will not improve.

Jeez,can't have a crack at Warhurst so just go on some random diatribe. Put your own hand up champ if you know what's best.
