get ready to see it happening , Dech will play.

36ers without a coach to say no to Dech.

Have to say looking at West and North it's pretty embarassing the lack of news from BSA regarding finals. Yes we've had the awards night but nothing else to report ahead of semis?

081, just no.

The organisation (his employer) will make that decision either way. The lack of a coach is irrelevant.

172 - excellent theory but that is not what happens in practice here. I doubt JVG is even aware of the issue.

178 lol. Ok

Breaking news : DJ, Teys and Deng will be suiting up for Forestville tonight. Apparently their lawyers have found an obscure bylaw allowing this and BSA have agreed to let them play. North's lawyers are countering by getting Drmic and Purchase, plus also asking permission for Starling to get an immediate transfer arguing he is a true Rockets player at heart and didn't he suffer enough playing for South this season.

Unlike the false position above Dech and North have overcome late appeal to disqualify home from tonight's game. It’s a bit like déjà vu from what happened in first meeting this year between the two teams

^english please???

Ahhh, remembering the days of the sturtysixers and them recruiting the DPs.
And laughable the indignation against the poor cheatgles.

#229 because the gap between NBL1 Central and NBL is massive

So when DJ started a game in sneakers and immediately subbed out, as he did in others, to solely qualify for finals, that was respectful? Karma bus arrived tonight.
Oh, and Rios was only supposed to play sparingly throughout season.
Bye bye cheatgles!!!

Rios was loyal, Forestville weren't. That's why he went to Mavs.

Ragles again were given an exemption for Rios, god knows why, for this season on the basis his minutes would be limited. They haven't played fair at NBL1 level for a decade. To complain now about losing to two mid-level NBL players is poor.

Either its second tier or is a local development league. People want whichever suit their club position at the time. All clubs have spent big and at other times gone local.

Move on

"Oh, and Rios was only supposed to play sparingly throughout season."

What are you on about?

All clubs use NBL players, North got a couple of studs South got a couple of bums as the results prove, no use complaining about it

Make no mistake Easy As. Forestville didn't complain. Andy complained.

As anyone who got the bylaws changed so that he could wear shorts would.

That BSA continue to let this guy re-write rules to suit himself is honestly pathetic.

Which rule did he rewrite? This one, that's in the 2021 bylaws?

"Denim, shorts or tracksuit pants are not permitted for Coaches and their Assistants"

Norths premiership to lose now.
Forestville would have loved to have Artacho last night, lack of depth was very apparent. Dont think they would have beat Sturt or Southern either in a final

Every team would love have Artacho
His phone will go into meltdown in the off season
Major player

CJ took care of business on Sturt, now they sitting ducks waiting for Sunday MvVeigh to finish them off, like pulling the wings off a fly

Norwood thrashed North recently. Norwood clear favourites against whoever wins next week

What a shit troll

Troll or not, anon is right. There's nothing about local basketball in SA that is professional.

The karma of Forestville losing to bought 36ers, for years Forestville do it and bend the rules.

Didn't DJ go to a wedding overseas but a doctor signed him off as sick so it counted as a game qualifying?

Imagine Andy, losing at his own game lol

#266 I think it is more an indictment on the 2 individuals than the league itself

Anon 263/265 - as a SA basketball fan, I agree it's not a good look. Kind of embarrassing for the league really.

If you think its just 2 individuals that are the problem in SA basketball you're not looking.

I don't see the other coaches dressing the same way as Andy (especially) and Nyberg so yeah the individual needs to be accountable for their own lack of professionalism. But hey Andy won’t be working the sideline again this year so it’s a fantastic thing on 2 fronts

Grown men discussing shorts. This forum will die for a couple months now the ChEaTgLeS are out and there's nothing to bitch about.

At least BSA were rock solid yet again with Forestville and Andy couldn't wear Denim shorts!!! Small wins :)

Calligeros trying to be pretend tough against the Flames, cream puff like the rest of the Sturt bigs, serious question how does Goodall get a game, heard his mum runs the Sturt canteen but they would have 10 guys in juniors that are better than him

Looks like Harris and Spear played lone hands in losses on the weekend. Will Spear get the help he needs this week against North? Sturt would start strong favourites I assume.

It's clear Sturt are favourites. It’s the old adage - a champion team will beat a team of champions. Sturts system to prevail

Sunday appears to be the glue they needed.

Spear is a Bearcats champ but he can't do it alone. Was surprised Daly got in the all star 5 ahead of him tbh, he’s had an awesome season, pity it finishes this weekend.

Sturt in massive danger of going out in straight sets after a 9-0 start. 5-5 since then and pretty unimpressive last week against Norwood.

I think you worry needlessly.

I think he or she makes a very valid point. Did Rigoni get COTY for only half a season?

Sturt
5 titles in over 60 years
Enough said.
If they handed out championships for hype and spin they would never be beaten.

They worry should of started when they lost to an under manned West and then Norwood the same weekend. Haven't copped with losing to two college kids.
