Global search may extend to New Zealand, Rottnest and Christmas Island.

36ers are telling people who candidates are even though those candidates have told them point blank they have no interest in being part of the mess

Whoever takes the job will be either incredibly naive or incredibly desperate for a job. Coaches are dropping out after doing their due dilligence.

Much like voters getting the leaders they deserve so do owners

Top flight unemployed coaches are turning down the opportunity because they want nothing to do with the admin or the owner.

The coaches club is small and reliable

What continues to go on in Adelaide is a joke. No self respecting coach wants any part of the sideshow and drama.

Smyth had to ask them to stop attaching his name to the process.

Zodiac you are posting crap. You clearly don't know anything.
The Sixers simply need to release the list in contention. Shame they haven't.

Glad they are looking to replace Froling, hopefully with someone to balance out the 5 point guards under contract

Froling was walking regardless. Hence the backflip on the media from a week ago them saying they want him back and he is coming back to him telling them he is walking. Typical adelaide damage control

Aussiehoopla rumoured signings 36ers

Adel Deng Brock Motum and Ryan Broekhoff

Adel is highly overrated, Motum old and hasn't been getting time at Valencia, Broekhoff will be Europe.

wasn't there a story DJ wanted out of the 36ers to

Motum would be a beast. Broekhoff is just the type of player the 36ers need. Stand up guy, extremely good at basketball, and won't complain like drimic at every no call. Aussie talent at import level is the key to a stacked team.

I'm with KET aussiehoopla is a rumours page.
Mathiang and Brandt amongst others linked to many teams.

No one wants to work for a boss who sues you

Von Hofe said they have a coach so why continue the search?

^Can you please cut out the grovelling Jantke

Get Damien Martin in at least as an assistant.

Yeah let's get 6 point guards

Just shows Botis level now with that crap. Would say even Joey's harshest critics, prior to leaks, would have preferred him over Clarke.

White
Dillon
Mudronja
Teys
Giddey

All are signed

Fark, those signed players are really shit!!!

And according to the owner all really expensive

It's crunch time for the NBL now.

Searching the globe with coronavirus might not be easy.
Just go cheap option with Brooks.

Zodiac u are a muppet. Every player is designed except Froling and Drmic. Multi year deals and Teys/White/Mcveigh/Obi/Dillon are guaranteed. But they may have played options. None of them are club options only the imports. Quit talking out of your ass you uninformed fuckwit. Jerome Randle has an option but if they don't bring him back have to give him 20/30k.

Resigned***

Geez, settle down.

Oh ok, that apology was so much better.

Looking forward to seeing more minutes for Mudronja, high iq player. Not a great scorer but should be a quality backup.

"Sorry Zodiac just posts so much garbage on here had to rant." A lot more offenders than Z. The never ending crap that issues from Perff fans is a joke.

Mudronja will get sfa minutes with Giddey in there and a US point guard.

the bust.... oh dear

Humphries is made for Adelaide, over rated over paid player. Perfect match.

Froling has talent but thinks he's nba material, might be but you need work ethic at it’s highest level which seems to be even missing at nbl level. Big men with talent are hard to find though.

Quit on 2 colleges and effectively quit on Sixers this year, see ya later. Prefer someone like Pineau who works his arse off than someone with supposedly more talent.

Import, Import, Import, Motum, Johnson
Mudronja, Giddey, Mcveigh, Kyei, Humphries
Dillon, Harris(DP), pF/C(DP)

Most of them want to return.

'invibrate' Word of the year!

I think we will come to expect many posts from Perthworld while all good regular posters rest during coronavirus time.

Humphries and Adel are G league reserves, they don't play. JVG in charge now so I’m not surprised. Adel is a poor version of Noi and Kelly could not find a lot minutes for him in Cairns.
Imports and quality Australians coming home could be good if the virus takes a lot longer to go as the European market could be down. On the flip side imports get paid in US dollars and the Australian dollar is so low you need double to get them here.

https://gleague.nba.com/player/isaac-humphries/

Mason, motley and Shayok from g league would be good gets

"Adel is a poor version of Noi"

Adel has had a stint with an NBA team and made a Boomers camp, while Noi was barely good enough to start on an NBL team. Care to explain that?

Reputation doesn't mean you are any good, good luck to Adelaide if Adel and Humphries go there, they might score 100 every game it’s the 120 they let in that hurts.

If it's Caporn I wonder what his staff will look like. Will they continue the clean out and KB on his bike or keep him as a bit of continuity. Or keep Golley that spoke out on behalf of players.
Or does he go with young staff of his choosing or experienced ex coach.
Would like to see if we could get a CJ or someone else that's been assistant for a while and has experience of different systems. But as a rookie head may have some job security issues.

Why is KB seen as succession plan, been there how long, if he was viewed as that then he would have gotten job. Don't think he'll do a Cooks at Illawarra and stay there no matter what. Keep Teys, the other 2 only been there this season and did stuff all. Plus it could attract Motum, played here before, mates with Teys and probably wants out of Europe now with young family and situation over there.
Drmic was one of Joey's guys, smart thing would be to stay, doubt there's better opportunities elsewhere. Let Froling go, will be out of league soon or 3rd big in rotation somewhere.

PerthWanker really doesn't know a lot. Stacker just left a 21st century club and you want him to do that again? YUou are indeed a wanker.

" PerthWanker really doesn't know a lot. Stacker just left a 21st century club and you want him to do that again? YUou are indeed a wanker."

Seriously? He suggested Stacker as an assistant, and THAT is your response?

I know which one the wanker is.

Everyone needs clearing out , fresh start

Don't keep any assistants , new manager and new fitness guy

They are all joeys guys , you won’t get a good run at it unless they all go ,

Bring in your own team

Only way it works

Looks like it Ca Porn.

"Boomers assistant Adam Caporn believed to be leading contender for Adelaide 36ers coaching job, but club must wait on signing him"

Caporn is going to be a disaster.

Can't believe after Marty we are doing the same thing by hiring Caporn. Caporn's results have been worse than what Clarke had at the AIS.

"Two roles have been dissolved in the past week - media manager Kate Taeuber, who was made redundant, and their community and game night operations manager, who resigned. Neither role are expected to be replaced."

Other clubs in other codes are cutting staff everywhere, but looks like Sixers have only shed 2, excluding coach who's already gone. Makes sense.

Forde would have been a much better choice.

Clearly they disagree with you. It will be interesting to see who he recruits and can bring to the club through his connections.

You can compare Clarke and Caporn. In fact in Clarke's era it was easier to turn a team around as there wasn't such a big discrepancy in talent between teams. No better evidence of that than the last to grand final turn-around under Joey the very next season with the only real change being Gary Ervin.

Caporn has done nothing. Got a gig at St Mary's as a AC, then a plum COE role. When you talk to him he almost seems self aware of how inexperienced he is.

Why do we pick up another L plate coach. I love the fact that Grant has bought the team and pumped money into it but man does he have no idea in terms of basketball operations.

Maybe we have to think of the other way. Who would want to coach Sixers at the moment. No real young talent to build with, aging DJ, one of the biggest scandals ever with Joey (that has only gone quiet because of Corona), unknown future for league, weak Aussie dollar so overseas free agents are taking huge pay cut.
Overseas coaches would be ruled out. Who else is left, not much. So biggest name is really Caporn, no-one else is stupid enough which in itself could be a worry though.
On reflection I'm going to give him a go. Marty Clarke was just a really shit coach. Our first year we should stuggle, second aim for playoffs, third be in contention. If we're really bad after year 2 then it was failed experiment.

There's plenty of coaching talent that would be willing to coach the 36ers to get into the head coaching ranks.

You said it all in your response, you wanted a name so you're taking Caporn. This is how you end up with underperforming coaches.

Name 3 good coaches that you know have come out and said they were interested? Give us a Woj bomb genius!

That's why you make a short list and head hunt , applicants to an advertisement are the last resort.

Did they head hunt first or just go off the applicant list

That’s the real question

Got Creek but took Wright to hone him into player.
As the the head hunting list, in case you haven't watched the news there's been a bit of a international crisis. Who would be head hunted in Australia that isn't contracted now, Gaze? So those that applied is your list, if you didn't apply then who are these amazing coaches, still waiting for you to name 3.
At least Smythe got told to piss off quick.

Few, if any, of the mentioned coaches will be considered as one of pre requisites for the job is ncaa experience.

Which other coaches and players are available. Te rangi was a waste at Brisbane, which other players might fit the bill. United and Sydney might have a few looking for more opportunities.

964, short of the international crisis, there's a lot I disagree with your post, or is just wrong.

1. Joey's tenure coincided with Creek's prime. That doesn't mean Joey was personally responsible for that improvement. The fact that young players have improved under him is as much a sign of natural mental and physical maturity as anything Joey might have done.

2. The anti-Caporn sentiment is that he's an underwhelming choice. He hasn't coached for very long, hasn't accomplished much, and hasn't left a lasting impression like, say, Seebohm did on the women's side of international competition, or experienced coaches have.

3. Regarding a list: we don't know who applied. Most journalists have gotten it wrong so far e.g. Boti with Fearne. NBL assistants (McCains, Forde etc.) have more of a claim, except for having a relationship with Giddey. I'd be disappointed to learn if the 36ers' worldwide search didn't include reaching out to those kind of candidates.

4. How was Smythe told to piss off when the 36ers approached him, and Smythe turned down potential opportunities?

So much praise for McMains and Forde over the last few years and they gomwith Caporn, a guy that has achieved very little.

Not sure with McMains but happen to speak with Forde as he is back in Perth. He said he was interviewed and made the shortlist of candidates, but told mid last week that he wasn't successful. He reckons he was confident Caporn would get the job too - and gave him much praise that he would do a good job of it.

Of course Forde is going to publicly say Caporn is going to do a good job.

There's a lot of people who will say that Caporn is going to do a good job, but privately are shaking their heads in disbelief at the 36ers choice.

To be clear I'm not suggesting those are Forde's private views, I can't speak for him.

I hope Caporn is a success for the sake of the club, but there is nothing in Caporn's coaching history that suggests he will be, nothing at all.

983

1) Chicken or the egg. Did Joey push Creek into the player he's become or did Creek do it all by himself. Pretty sure Creek has credited Wright a lot with his development.
2) Good example with Seebohm numbnuts, any idea of how he became head coach in WNBL and coach of the year in his rookie campaign? Less experience than Caporn.
3)Of course we don't know who applied, you're the one telling the story of how many great coaches are out there.
4)You interview then immediately pull name out of hat, out of courtesy you get the interview but when you get told you're not getting it then you quit to save face, pretty simple for a reasonable person to surmise.

Von Hofe said its a done deal surely he can confirm the date its going to happen

991,

1. Creek has credited Joey, correct. Having seen how he coaches and how hard Creek has pushed himself though I don't buy it. To be fair, Joey definitely allowed Creek to thrive as they had a good relationship, but that doesn't mean he's the cause of Creek's improvement. I'm confident another coach could have achieved the same result, if not better because Creek has always had the determination to be elite.

2. Resorting to name-calling because you can't put forth a cohesive argument? Nice.

Seebohm was well-respected coach before he won a junior gold medal and drew praise from the entire basketball community. Then he was given a WNBL head coaching gig. That seems like a logical progression based on tangible accomplishments, rather than just assistant roles that seem to be at least somewhat the result of connections in the case of Caporn.

Experience doesn't mean shit if you coach to a worse capacity than other candidates. I don't have an opinion of him, but Stacker has his name thrown around a bit, and his vast experience doesn't mean much to most.

3. I'm not the same anon from earlier in the thread saying there were heaps of coaches out there better than Caporn... I'm just pointing out that there are highly competent coaches in Australia that, if interested, potentially have a better claim to the role. I also gave you two examples of coaches I've been impressed by, so I don't get what your point is here.

4. Do you have any inside knowledge of this or are you implying this is how it went down? Because I've been told differently by people close to the situation. I also don't get why Smythe would need to 'save face'. Smythe doesn't need the job: he makes a very cushy living by doing public speaking gigs, and not being successful for the position really isn't an indictment on him - just a reflection of the other candidates.

Smyth told them from Day 1 he wasn't interested and went as far as contacting media outlets to tell them to stop using his name, or so the story goes

This is the same guy that also turned down the director of basketball job with the 36ers according to some people.

Why even guess. Let's hope the new coach picks the side. Not like JVG did with the Kings.

Griffin wasn't on 400k. Ask his agent.

If you think 400k gets you Griffin how do you think that gets you the names you mentioned that are NBA fringe or entrenched.

36ers already have White, Mudronja , Dillon , Teys and Giddey committed to contracts so another PG isn't going to happen without 2 of those being paid out.

You would think they have an out with White given breach of policy??

J.Randle / D.Dillon / A.Mudronja
Y.Baba / J.Giddey / M.Harris
M.Shayok / budget SF Import / J.Mcveigh
B.Motum / O.Kyei / (DP)
D.Johnson / I.Humphries

Depends if you think White was being told what to do by his boss or not
