Nielsen?
Anthony Stewart?

No idea.

Sounds like it's going to be Matt Nielsen.

Chris Kenny?

"Sounds like it's going to be Matt Nielsen."

I have nfi, but I'd be surprised.

Nielsen was supposedly a lock for the role two years ago.
But something changed and they went for Bill Beaver. With Nielsen returning to the Spurs organisation.
Whether he turned down Sydney, or vice versa, he's now been moved up to Head Coach of the Spurs' G-League program. Clearly he is well regarded there, and who knows possibly being groomed for bigger things.

What about Ricky Stewart? He has a high opinion of other sports, he could work his way up to a Netball gig?

Nielsen?
Anthony Stewart?

The Kings are about to sign their fourth head coach in four seasons, that doesn't suggest the club is in very good hands.

It's possible that Moller is off to Deutschland because they wouldn't play him enough....or maybe he just wanted a change of environment.

If you're suggesting Moller took giant leaps in progress over the past two seasons you're being generous. He was a great defender in isolation when in Melbourne, something Sydney failed to capitalise on. His three point shot made steady improvement, as you'd expect with the time permitted to get reps in but this would have occurred wherever he was due to his work ethic.

As for Didi, if his play over the past two seasons warranted a call up to the NBA then I'm expecting Travers, Pinder & Peatling to be on a plane tomorrow. Tate is a monster who elevated the level of play in Sydney, not vice-versa. Kudos for them improving his range but that level of improvement and consistency doesn't happen over four/five months - that's gradual and was simply a perfect storm.

Never forget, Sydney are the club that wouldn't play the likes of Tom Wilson and the game is poorer for it.

Chase Buford announced.

How much salary of the coach in nbl? Looks the news coach of Sydney king is expensive..

Where's the moron that was telling me Shane Heal was a done deal?

Son of the Spurs CEO. Has been coaching the Bucks' G-League team.

Who knows, without knowing too much about the guy, or what he's being paid, maybe this is a great system?

Pick a guy who's on his way up, HC'ing in the G-League, looking for a stepping-stone to the NBA.
Ok, so he's never going to be here long-term, but maybe long enough?

Kings just had to announce it tonight, didn't they?

Where's the moron that was telling me Shane Heal was a done deal?

So what exactly did Forde do wrong when you consider the injury toll?

I don't really understand this. Are there not decent Australian coaches who could take this roll? I'm sure there is.

It strikes me as a bit of a vanity signing. Maybe along the lines of:

"Hey look at us, we got to the son of a big name executive"

Look, I'll accept the flack if i haven't researched this guy properly, but why is a 32 year old American the best choice for Sydney?

I don't really want to see the NBL go down the path of ignoring it's homegrown coaches... I'm not saying its happening, but with Henry last year and now Buford, it seems to be slightly creeping in that NBL clubs will look to America more and more now. Could be wrong about that and then it's subjective as to if it's a bad thing or not, but even from a performance perspective, we don't really see people who don't know the NBL game so that well do we?

My initial reaction was "who?" and then it still is... I hope that single youtube highlight isn't indicative of who he is in general, but you never know, he could be the worst parts of Weaver and Gaze combined and they will get the wooden spoon next season?
