The article reads more like he was pushed than parted ways mutually

To honest, I'm not surprised, just look at his starting line up against Brisbane the other evening in a must win game, yes they had injuries but lost lots of winnable games and should be comfortably in finals contention. Smith is a businessman first and doesn’t like losing.

Could Bogut take the job ?

Better for family circumstances. Does that mean Japan??

Bogut coach hahahaha The NBL christmas party coffers would be over flowing

Lemanis would be good.

Bogut has high basketball iq, he might be a bit of a knob,yes, but he has shares as well. He was in Sydney last weekend, low and behold, what then happens.

Longley might be interested, they always seem to play well when he's around.

It's Paul smith

I would like to see Shane heal get the job.

Martin was a horrible pick up, Ware over played his hand in hero ball to often and should have been called out on it, only for it to continue.

Cooks, Moller, Glover, vasiljevic, Hunter is the basis of a good side. Newley I'd keep for experience and captaincy, Bruce as well, Get imports to fit around those guys, Ware could still fit the bill in the right system.

Cooks and Moller are out contract and will field offers from other sides, they both bring lots of positives, certainly team first players, both good rebounders, Moller can defend any position on the floor, cooks great on offensive glass.

Terrible look to sack a coach before end of first season. Definitely agree it sounds more like an internal issue than coaching issues, considering the high turnover in the role.

What Shane Heal is going to coach Kings and Flames? come on.

"What Shane Heal is going to coach Kings and Flames? come on."

No, just the Kings. I feel he would be the right man.

What so he's going to quit coaching the Flames (and his daughter) before the first game? Doubt it.

Wnbareg season finshes September.
Wnbl starts mid October.

Heal would be a perfect fit for a Smith-led Kings.

And if Heal is coach they will be absolute trash

"Casper is on a rumoured $500k a season, you can get something for half that price."

His contract (pre covid discount) was higher than that.

I believe Ware is on more, Cooks is Om 500k as the marquee.

Shyla Heal will play for Flames in WNBA off season. No way Shane is ditching his daughter to coach the Kings

"I believe Ware is on more, Cooks is Om 500k as the marquee."

Considering they had Bogut and Lisch last year, the Kings' salary must've been massive.

I certainly didn't believe what I believed.

Henare? Or nba assistant perhaps.

There talking about 4 year term, I'd suggest it’s an Australian who they believe can set the club up. Say what you want about Smith, and lot of you take delight in bagging him but he’s no fool.

Yeah Na, he's a fool.

He's a douchlle

Jacob Chance rumours going to jack jumpers, could Forde end up back with Gleeson.

Gleeson to nba or somewhere $$$, forde to Perth?

Makes sense, forde family still in wa. Knows Wildcats in n out.
Gleeson with 3 peet moves abroad. Cuts contract short.
Sydney ge new hc.

Kelly to go imo
Shamir to go imo

21/22 locked in but contracts mean nothing these days.

Nz team need an agro coach, Webster's just chillin sometimes

Craig if you want to be posting and taken seriously, it's Neilsen.
SD is very happy in Japan. If the Kings roll out the money he will be happy to return. Heal WTF! Bevo is a poisoned chalice. Henare like SD is very happy in Japan. Keep guessing.

Keep up KR. For once you are out of your league. #Fantastic. I guess with all the past vacancies for Head Coaches you really don't know.

Correct Luuc, My bad. Matty won't be giving up a USA gid in a hurry I would have thought. Can Longley coach? Bogut Coach? I doubt that on both accounts.
Bring in another Perth Assistant. They have 5 left. Oh no make that 4 as one will be going to the JJ's ;)

Caporn

"When and why did everyone suddenly turn on Bevo?"

Not so much him as his son..

I don't think his son had anything to do with it, his last season with hawks wasn’t that good and word on street is he got lethargic, didn’t push hard enough. You have to train hard to play hard. He’s still got a very good basketball brain.

"Gleeson to NBA
Forde to Perth
Perth to have a losing record at home due to horribly biased reffing
Forde fired
Anthony Stewart signed as head coach
Beats Jackjumpers for the #NBL23 title"

God I hope not if Gleeson were to leave which I don't want either I'd rather anyone else other than Forde after this seasons behaviour

Where is all this talk of gleeson leaving for the nba coming from anyway see people saying nbl media but have been struggling to find anything beyond one or 2 fan comments

At least the new coach should have input in his team selections, nearly all Sydney are out contract, DJ, Glover are the only contracted two I believe, Hunter has an option. Ware stats wise has been good but his team performance at times is questionable, Martin was brought in as a 5 but his defence could not cover that position so moved to the 4 where offensively is very good but defensively is poor.
While Forde has been ok, he has had no input into the team selections. The loss of DJ in the end was what killed any chance Sydney had of winning it. Sydney's management and Forde has got the decision right for both their futures.

"I don't think his son had anything to do with it, his last season with hawks wasn't that good and word on street is he got lethargic, didn’t push hard enough. "
Maybe look at the son's form?
