Actually, there is some (fairly) new news. The Head Coach position.

Going to start with a little praise for Justin Schueller. My knowledge isn't great of JS or anything, really, but this is how I feel ATM.

The only name that I have heard for the position is Rucker's. IMO, would be a good choice if we didn't have a coach. Well, we don't, but you know what I mean. Would Ruck be an up-grade, and one worth getting rid of JS to get?

I suggested Gleeson, tongue in cheek, when I first heard of JS's sacking. I really doubt it, as others have done, but I would be hoping for that sort of up-grade rather than a side-ways progression.

Thoughts?

Interesting to hear Joey Wright defend Schueller a bit even though he said Schueller used to talk a lot of shit about Joey's coaching ability when he was at United. Obviously the Bullets blamed Schueller for a lot of their injuries.

It's one thing firing him but I hope they do something silly like hiring Rucker, he's never even been an AC in the NBL before, which suggests he's never been serious about coaching.

It didn't go well for Rucker in his last NBL1 gig.

What is Ruckers coaching credentials? You don't HAVE to have coached at a high level before e.g.Tatum but its risky for sure. Smart basketball brain no doubt though.

My sauces have told me that the club has had multiple meetings with Chase Buford. Apparently it is coming down to contract length and price.

Watch this space I guess!

Would think they already were talking to Buford hence the Schueller sacking.
Depending on length of suspension, I see it being months not years, could Sydney be stupid enough to release Cooks and have a reunion with Buford? Brian will be involved so anything is a possibility. He liked Bruce so might try and find a way for him to head North so he's got a few familiar faces.
And could Siulepa be an option being closer to home?
If it's Buford can see Norton heading to bench for a scoring import PG, Davis?
Cooks is pipe dream, pun intended, but him, Harrison, Davis, Prather would make them possible favourites. And I think they'll spend up big, or rather, LK will spend up big to make them more attractive.
