Yeah blokes, quick, let's all email the JJ and give an endorsement for this guy!
Piss off pal, at least post it in other thread.

The advertisement they put out clearly states what the requirements are for be considered. This ain't it

It'll be SD.

Scout, because theres another huge post about this topic and this numpty comes in with a complete random. Should be deleted.

Sean Dennis get's thrown up in every discussion about head coaches. It wont be him

Handy decided to stay at Lakers assistant, it's open to application, Dennis will be favoured imo, followed by Caporn.

* Shawn.
Apologies for my poor spelling.

Pretty sure Paul Henare has declined which is interesting. I thought SD was coaching at a higher level in Japan?

Both Henare and Dennis teams are not doing well in Japan. Dennis in div 1 and Henare in div 2. Dennis favourite for ants job but Stewart still a chance.

Would Matt Neilsen be a candidate or would he now be focused on an NBA gig?

Stay in the nba, was asked but it's the US for him now.

I would assume the Head Coach would appoint his own Asst's.

Nice try Jack

What are you on about,above?

Seems like everyone they approach says no. Could Stewie be the Steven Bradbury. Will struggle to get a competitive team if they don't get someone with high level experience.

It'll be SD or Caporn, Stewart would do a fine job with the right assistants.

I am hearing the JJs have been flooded with applicants

There's every chance it could be a G League coach, or similar.

Yes anyone here saying it's Coach X simply won'y know, yet.

I wish the JJ's would communicate more. Why don't they say we had xxx's of applicants for the job and we have short listed xx candidates. Not sure who that falls to. Good press rather than no press.

#372 exactly

Just some of the names I've heard.

Beveridge, henare, Caporn, handy, stewart, Simons, jantke, Bruton, brondello, hammon, schueller, flavell, mcmains, coronel

Lisa Alexander would have to be in the mix.

I don't know who half of these names are.
If this is the group then we scrapping the bottom of the barrel

Handy I believe has elected to stay head assistant at lakers. He has a fantastic record of winning, all be it as assistant and development coaches.

Handy is old news. Most of the other names are simply rumours. Those that may have been wanted have already declined AFAIK.

That's correct. Who on that list is a serious candidate rather than just a name someone posted here. Handy was out of the picture over 1 month ago.

Kestleman in town today.

Hearing Kestleman may have trodden on a few local toes.
Hint: LK. Don't come here and be like I am the Boss this is how we will do it.My way.

I think you will find the Tasmanian government are the major funders.

"Kestleman has every right to act like the 'man' as he is!"
I never mentioned the NBL Scout.

LK certainly has been good for the nbl, but Tasmanian basketball has pushed for nbl team and Larry saw opportunity. If the huskies had not exploded and been patient instead of racing off to nznbl and tried to work with Larry it could've had a team already. Bartlett has been pushing Tasmanian basketball for a long time.
So yes LK has been good but there has been a lot push from others.

Don't forget that LK stole the Huskies idea. Now trying to steal someone else's idea.

Europe is covid strong, he might take a gap year in Australia.

^^ wrong thread

Of course is happening Scout. If the Huskies hadn't given Kestleman the idea do you seriously think LK would be here? NO.

Huskies were good for ideas.

Sure were, one of the ideas they were good at was not pay their bills ;)

HC short listed to 8 candidates.

Interviews this week.

Can't see the decision before Christmas.

It's unlikely. The 8 will be cut to 4.

"Bartlett has been pushing Tasmanian basketball for a long time". He and a couple of other people who think they are more important that they are would be the only toes that LK would have stepped on. Play a role or go do something else. Without Larry there is no NBL in Tas. Without a coach with some credentials there might as well be no NBL in Tas. Hopefully Larry can step on the peak bodies toes and get them to operate in the best interests of the sport as well.

Dennis will probably blow himself up in the interview.

What? Don't understand either of the above posts.

Why the hell would you schedule interviews in Christmas week? Wouldn't be surprised if they put the final 4 candidates to the fans and they pick the coach, if the best they could do was jackjumpers, Gaze will win by a landslide!

Gaze. You are deluded.

^It was sarcasm stupid! Highlighting the fact a ridiculous team name was chosen, I thought it would be obvious to anyone with the intelligence higher than a cucumber that choosing Gaze would just be as ridiculous.
I suppose year hasn't finished so putting a last ditch effort in for moron of the year! Pfft, deluded.

No matter who they pick, won't be good enough for anyone around here.

Yeah. Funny post idiot.I guess you forgot the Kings with a fuzzy name selected Gaze. Moron.

^"the kings with a fuzzy name selected Gaze"
WTF dude, that makes no sense.

"No matter who they pick, won't be good enough for anyone around here." What does that mean? Please explain.

So where is the explanation?

Adam Caporn
Mark Radford
Mike Cassidy
Anthony Stewart

If it's down to those four and I believe SD did apply, ( maybe dollars in Japan are to good) it’s either Caporn or Stewart.

Moldovan is pumping up Scott Roth . So good chance it's him

Lol Cassidy.
No chance

AC head coach with the other three as his assistants

Radford and Cassidy lol.

Who is Scott Roth?

Roth assistant to Gleeson. I can't see him in the job.

I see him better than the other scrubs that been mentioned.
Roth - former NBA player and assistant, currently NBL coach.
Stewart- state league coach
Cassidy - understudy to Caporn
Radford- basketball tas coach

Cassidy. WTF!
Radford has had his shot.
Stewart Tassie boy and a proven winner.
Roth. Don't know.

Lol stewie bombed in NZ NBL not a proven winner

"Lol stewie bombed in NZ NBL not a proven winner" Far from it. With the crap they had to put up with from the Huskies team they were 1 game out of the finals and far from bombing. Give it up Chris.

OK I googles Roth. INteresting career and I doubt he would want to be a HC so early after joining the Wildacts.
Tassie needs an identity someone the locals can relate to. Not some outsider like Roth. I certainly would hope that Stewart got an intervieww seeing as he's the highest progiled basketball/ coach that Tassie has ever produced.

Stewart did great in nznbl, thiey missed on semi by one game. It took 27 hours to get to nz on there first trip and played 3 games in four days. If it's not Caporn it’s got be Stewart on those mention so far, Caporn while he has been an assistant under Lemanis but not convinced he’s that much better than the local man.

Stewart sucks. Played for him. Doesn't know strategies at all

McMains is best fit.

#882, you obviously have a problem with him, maybe you ain't that good.

What about giving KB a go??? Very experienced assistant coach.
5.4.3.2.1 let all the hate flow haha!

KB pass. No one wants a Joey boy. If #885 knows Stewie and you say he doesn't know strategies you ain't got a clue. Put your name to that post. Happy to be proved wrong cos clearly you have no game.

Pleased to hear Gibbo saying he wants to finish his career in Tassie.

I think Gibbo is trying to eke out a couple of extra years beyond retirement. Good on him though.

Undoubtedly but he's a proven player and leader and as a Tassie boy would be great in a leadership role initially.

should jack jumpers sign lucas walker

Is Walker Tasmanian?

yes

Cal Bruton is available. Gibson will be enough of the old blokes.

200 applications, lots probably thrown out first look.

Cal Bruton's way past coaching at this level. Even when he coached the Devils previously he was a poor coach.

I was suggesting cal could play, it was supposed to be humorous after Walker and Gibson were talked about. Sorry about that. ::)))

Just a tip, most on this forum don't get sarcasm or attempts at humour.

Yeah clearly we knew you meant play.... he can't coach.

Much easier to get sarcasm in person.
Perthworld tries too hard sometimes

Yeah it's pretty to to read into "Cal Bruton is available. Gibson will be enough of the old blokes."
Cal's old enough to be Gibbo's dad. Perthworld is just a try hard and a failure at that.

Cal is old enough to be CJ Brutons dad, that's how old he is.
