Names being tossed around are completely underwhelming

Andrew Gaze!

Anyone, absolutely anyone, even bring back marty clarke, give jamie petty the job, but do NOT give it to KB, perfect example of a good player being an absolutely terrible coach

Forde and Nielsen ex Perth assistants should be top of the list. Kelly if you could get him out Cairns, done wonders up there under similar management. Henare could do good there as well.

Jamie petty

Bill Tomlinson might get a call up but only if he gets to bring his waterboy.

First thing to consider is who would move to Adelaide???

Brendan Teys?

Andy Simons!

Want Flynn?

JVG to take the reigns

Richard Dickel?

Justin Schueller

Jerome Randle player coach.

Iso all game! 15 crossovers per possession.
Would ave 50 a game.

Wins you say? Who cares, Its all about getting an Insta highlight!

Maybe Boti should give it a crack.

sign rob beveridge and then get rid of the rest of the current crew.

Take Vickerman please

Bevo wants none of this mess, not does any other name candidate. Buckle up 36ers fans for a decade of mediocrity

Had inside word that Lindsay Gaze is generating interest

Smyth will no doubt be sniffing around with Ken Cole not far behind. 2 better car salesmen you could not find. A matter now of whether Kelley bites.

Hanging Around - You don't think Sapwell has the runs on the board but you want KB????

If anyone has demonstrated over a long period of time at the local level that they're not up to it it's KB.

Sapwell would think he's not quite ready yet to be a head coach. Definitely a candidate as an assistant and hc down the track.

Goorjian

I'm not advocating for Sapwell necessarily. Not saying he shouldn't get the gig either. However I'm amazed by these suggestions of KB. Good bloke but has a poor track record at local levels.

If you are speaking of car salesmen the Cal has to be on that list.

If Sapwell coaches expect the starting point and shooting guards to be his sons.

richard hill

New blood. Not all players from the city etc do some fucking research, take some time, and don't be lazy with this. On the flip side, Adelaide will take the cheapest easiest most convenient option. So a local will probably be chosen. Still curious what JVG is doing here?

To be fair, Richard Hill's resume is probably the best of any coach currently coaching outside of the NBL.

JVG certainly started to get the crowds coming back in Sydney but his selection of players was atrocious, get a coach to select his own squad and let JVG run the business. You need quality Australian players first and select your imports around them. Perth has been doing it for years. Damo, Knight, Wagstaff, Brandt, Kay, Norton etc. not all stars but very solid players.

Gaze and LC is the same as Wright and KB. Neither Asst coaches would be considered as head Coaches.
The Kings have shown how to do it correctly.

reality, why could you not just state the coaches name.

If you are referring to Dave Biwer, i for one certainly hope you are wrong!

Mick Downer

Mick Downer or Jamie Pearlman?

What's wrong with Biwer?

He's Victorian ;)

He's not Victorian but that’s irrelevant. Not only do I think he is a poor coach I also think that he would let the organisation down off the floor. Not someone I would want associated with my ball club

People forget JVG has been involved in Adelaide NBL previously when he was brought in to assist during the Groves/Hemmerling era.

Keep Jantke on the bench but elevate him to HC. Will get all the great returning college players because it was all because of him.

Not exactly sure who you are talking about, the only candidate I can see on the bench would be KB, but I do know SA has had unprecedented numbers of kids at the AIS and head to levels of colleges never seen before. It is wise for Joey (or any new coach if he does decide to go) to ensure they can recruit these guys back to Adelaide through their relationships, without getting into a bidding war with the big market teams.

Sponsors and fans love home grown and developed talent and there is a much different culture that can be built when you are playing for the team you grow up supporting, in front of your family and friends at home.

I also think the 6ers need to be engaged and resourced to support upcoming elite kids into their program to support their development through workouts, training with and against pros, and in some kind of academy program, that can also help them to the right colleges, then hopefully back home. It seems to be sixers are on the cusp of getting a lot of local guns back and bringing more through thanks to Joey's work. Let's hope Joey stays on, he has done a great job with OK talent the past few years and hope he gets to reap the benefits of all the kids he has mentored and helped develop too

thanks jantke

Please don't consider Phil Smyth. Need some fresh blood. A Matt Nielsen type would be very interesting.

with no coach or any coach 36ers have instantly got better

That is so definitely Jantke posting above.

Dean Nyberg. Two championships in Premier League. Resume speaks for itself.

If Dean Nybergs resume speaks for itself, please explain why he is not coaching PL in 2020?

Jantke for sure

What a stupid comment Perthworld.

Flynn would be interesting. Has a good network internationally, and juniors Australia wide...

Does he? Ask him and he does. He's a very good self promoter.

Joey in the pre game interview said he's heard nothing about leaving and he had two years left on his contract, said he he’d only go if not wanted. That’s telling me pay out time or he stays.

Owner saying will make decisions at seasons end.

Anon do you not follow professional sport at all? This is pretty common behaviour. Team and Coach clearly isn't working, Club has a responsibility to look at its options.

Are you serious with Nyberg. Managed to lose an unloseable grand final when West went with a simple pick and roll and Oldham destroyed them, yet Deano had no idea. Ok when he has best talent out there, can't readjust game plan if things go wrong.
And introduced Jamie Petty to Premier League coaching, something the basketball community should never forgive.

Clearly Joey ain't going anywhere unless he gets paid. NZ might have set the bench mark on how to get rid your coach though.

Flynn would be a good candidate. Cut his teeth in some great leagues overseas. Well respected worldwide for what he has done and where he has been.

Sixers will lose Drmic unless they sort this quickly. Get Nybergs in as they are mates.

It's not fair on Perthworld but it's utterly hilarious that Bruce thinks that everyone who dislikes him is the same person, and not that he is immensely disliked wherever he goes.

We all know what a deluded person Perthworld is.Destoying Ozhops and now doing it here. The comments made earier were taken doown shame. Weird that you have so many nicks and an alias yet still use the usual anonymous cowards way of sniping.

Like I said, this is hilarious.

Every player has to understand and play a bit defence, the Sixers have a lot players that don't understand either. To many over paid players that only think scoring first, now this will keep the commentary talking you up, certainly homicide and Heal who didn’t play defence but it doesn’t get you many W in the win column. Both Heal and CJ Bruton didn’t play any sort D till Goorjian got hold of them and then the became winners.

If Joey is going to stay you had better get Nielsen or Forde as your assistants with the promise of top job in two seasons and learn defensive structures.

End thread.

Actually the thread is about the Sixers coach so if you want a thread to bag Perthworld in, start your own and stop ruining this one.

Goorgian or Dunlap type of Coach is what we need to develop these young guys. Some of these suggested coaches names are laughable.
Sapwell played under Dunlap at college and NBL.
Proven system that works. Worth a shot if ya go local.

It would be like hiring Lanard Copeland. No way.
