Bello retiring on a high at Forestville.

Big commitment for all involved. Tough going on for year after year. Might be time for some who just want a break. Good opportunity for others out there I guess. Wouldn't read into too much to be honest.

What is happening with Southern Tigers' coaching positions?

Amazing!!! Club loyalty not meaning anything when you don't get paid as much. Astounding.

Where are they going

"When you leave an organisation make sure you leave it in a better place than when you arrived."

If people bleed the program then sh*t all over it on the way out then...

To be honest it was a shit program before Dean arrived, splurged the cash and now leaving in it the same condition it was when he arrived, albeit in the red.

Where is Dean going?

Whoever has the biggest amount of cash to spend, so Norwood are looking for a coach

Surely Ellison doesn't get paid

I don't think Dean will be going anywhere, he is employed by the club. Obviously just not coaching PL.

My tip is Rojo isn't going anywhere.

Agreed, Rojo staying. Who is this ex player puppet, why bring him in when the puppet is there already. Can't see them signing a rookie coach nor an experienced coach who would change the culture. The current group will stay until very end and the results will be a squad that makes South look like the 90s Bulls.

Just saw Gilbert has stepped down as president at Woodville, Scotty must be feeling nervous!

Can all clubs form a team or are a couple going to struggle? Especially if a couple of coaches stay on.

Which clubs will struggle to field a team if the current coaches stay on?

I've heard of one out WEST

Nope

Gawsh, Southern loading up now.

Wouldn't get too excited, Micks a legend but only assisting. Head coach for all the spin it only says he coached high school ball. Won't have the budget of last few years, seems snagging the wife would've been instrumental in the appointment.
Saw Norwood are having tryouts in 2 weeks, any announcements there or was it just bullshit again and Rojo had job in bag anyway.

norwood just wasting peoples time clearly, applications close 13th of september trials on the 15th

Actually the Webbers will be there so no need for official coach, they'll pick who they want. Nobody will get any minutes apart from regulars anyway.

Yep. Actually the President, Vice President and Secretary, plus at least one committee member.

They'd want to make sure all that cash pouring in from local league comps is being allocated according to stakeholder needs and expectations otherwise they will lose them and just become a club that runs social basketball.

Prob as qualified as most club presidents. That is not the point though. Who is keeping them in check? Are they there to build the club and support the goals of the membership or for their own benefits?

Is Dean still involved with Southern Juniors or is he completely out of the Tigers

more money for the club

So was Deano fired, quit or nudged out? Would have to say he was pushed because of financial scandal, but would think a clean break would be warranted after basically bankrupting the club. Or was it part of the agreement by the parent that bailed them out that he has to bring him a coffee every Sunday training.

Seriously how does one person in Dean's position bankrupt the club. The blame has to lay fairly and squarely with the management committee in particular the president and treasurer for not managing the financial position better

The president and treasurer should definitely put a stop to it, but surely he would've known the financial strain he was putting on club if he had to put his own hand in his pocket as well.

The only one able to authorise payment would be the treasurer I would have thought. If the committee gave him the money to spend I also don't see how it’s the coach who is to blame.

but being a premier league championship is all he cared for

not really interested in club or kids that play their

only interested in lining his pockets

not the only one in basketball that does it unfortunately

Anyone who knows southern knows that's simply not true

Yeah, you're not fooling anyone 424. Lift your troll-game or give it a rest.

I think everyone can agree that the President and Treasurer and members of the committee are to blame for 99%, and who wouldn't like to be aboard that gravy train. But from memory, wasn't there rumblings about financial issues before this past season. In that case Dean should have been more prudent in his spending if he wanted to help the club.

Why isn't he still coaching then, no money to buy a title? Everyone else overtake them?

Half his players leaving as money ran out and no cash to replace them so spits to lollipop and doesn't coach

Or maybe a coach they trusted and played for decided. Or to continue so the players that played for him have looked around at their option.

Nah just continue to hate with no info no proof just cheap shots.

English please!

8th??? Might be battling it out with South and Eastern at this stage. But I think its a bit similar to Lebron and Cleveland where they spent up big to win now and the consequence of being one of the worst teams in league now. Was it worth it for Southern to win a couple of titles but now leave the club in a mess?

Yea it has been left in an absolute mess. Prob a good move for Johns as he has not really been developed enough in the Southern environment from where he was. Still a very good player, and still a lot of time to flourish in his new team.

Also a good chance for certain juniors that were promised the world and then recruited over to finally have an opportunity. Messes like the one created ultimately breed opportunity and those kids will make the most of it.

Sam wont be playing basketball

southerns under 23 div 2 side would beat that rabble that petty has put together at south

That 23s div 2 side may well be their premier league team, then we can really find out.

Have coaching appointments been finalised yet?

No

Hearing Southern have reloaded with some names and will be competitive.

yeah right, they are all giving away their signed premiership boots

Heard that Vozzo will be their starting point guard, that should do it!

Sounding like their budget has increased from last year. The players names I've heard don’t come cheap.
