Who are the calmest NBL coaches?
Who makes your list?
Surely Will Weaver gets a mention.

I agree with that. Joey is animated but does not really get flustered under pressure. Pushes his players but still normally makes good decisions. We will wait and see with Weaver. He seems like he can't deal with adversity or when things don't go his way seems flaky.

Just a meme, not hate, stemming from the ridiculous original calm thread.

Don't care but big Trev is the finest basketball mind in the NBL.
If you mean that out of all the coaches he should be fined the most then I agree. But if you mean that his mind could pass through the narrowest comb teeth I think Joey just has him covered.

Enjoyed watching that NZ Breakers Assistant Coach, last nite.

Fined for what?

Smyth was easily the calmest, they'd lose the plot, Smyth would be on the bench sitting down, call a timeout and then spend half of it talking to his assistants away from the players before telling them ok focus on this this and this and we be fine, then Maher/Farley/someone else would make some game winning play.
36ers 101 back in the Smyth/Maher days.

Of course Smyth was calm - during gameplay he was just chilling out killing time before the next timeout to ask Steve Breheny what to do.
"Fined for what?"
The loud crying from the sideline all game
