Heard in the telecast that he's battling stage 4 colon cancer. As a former Townsville crocs supporter i hope he can fight this. Terrible news especially after having another child recently.

Stage four, not good odds, I wish all the best and hope he comes through.

Some of the stories I've heard about Corey's community engagement, making the extra effort for fans etc were really impressive. While his commentary divides opinion, as a person he's a real positive force and I hope he can get through what he's facing, good luck to him. This sort of news really puts basketball results in perspective.

I heard this mid-game and the result of the game no longer mattered.

All the best to him, poor bugger. Brought nothing but positivity to Australian basketball, and always celebrating the progress. Get well soon!

Really sad news. Only 46. Low odds. Life is short, very sobering. All the best Homicide.

Faaaark.
Cancer just doesn't care. While some of his commentary annoys me, he's currently the best ambassador for Australian basketball.
I remember last year he went on a big health and fitness kick so I fear this may have been around for a while in hindsight.
Miracles do happen, so all the best to him and his family.

Damn! I was very saddened to hear this news. I have always liked his charisma and colorful personality as a commentator. None better as a promoter for the NBL. His provocative statements and banter is always good for a laugh too. Hang in there Homicide!!

Yep Corey knows how to create a controversy / discussion to promote the NBL, reckon he is great.
He has always been about promoting the NBL and passionate about it.
My thoughts are with him and that he is able to get through this.

Really sorry to hear this the other night. I've always loved the guy and what he did particularly for Croc Nation. I really hope that he's got Australian citizenship or great health insurance to take care of his medical needs. Wiki says that of 2012 he travelled on a Jamaican passport.
