Agreed I can't see Gleeson lasting long in the NBA. In fact I'm still as shocked as anything any NBA team was interested in him. He's a big fish in a small pond type coach like an old school college coach. No one there is going to know who he is or care about his NBL achievements.
In saying that the Wildcats great run was coming to an end, new ownership were coming in and if an NBA team comes calling, in that situation he would've been crazy to say no.
If ScoMo doesn't pan out he could possibly even come back to coach Perth again in 22-23.
