Isn't he Michelangelo Rucci gofer? The Rooch pulls the strings and Boti runs at every command.

But saying that he is still a world class basketball journalist and respected in the industry, the same cannot be said for his puppet master and football.

Boti Nagy >>>>daylight >>>>>Tim Morrissey

I think he spends it finding new ways to push his own agendas and criticising the hard work of the administration and officials.

Are we talking about Boti or Paul Bell?

not a fan, what exactly are his 'own agendas'? Please expand on this comment, and provide examples.

Again, give an example.

You guys are just gutless,back up your points,dont be scared to say anything just make it clear what you are saying!!!!

Ive always found Boti to be an approachable person wherever I happen to see him, usually in a basketball stadium on a Sat morning, and his knowledge of the scene here and the world is vast. He may have his opinions and he can push them in his column but dont we do the same here? Actually Boti likes writing books in his spare time so maybe ONE DAY!!!! we may see his works printed.(Gee Boti getting sick of waiting lol). And if you disagree with what he writes send off an email and Im sure he'll reply. Someone needs to keep us informed and he does a good job IMO.

Boti has already had a book published: High Flyers - Women's Basketball in Australia.

Not sure where to get it, but have seen it on ebay for the princely sum of $6.90.

yawn --

great, so now all those kill-joy nay-sayers have told us what they think of him personally, can anyone answer my original question.

(#89727) - is that it? writes books?

I can't beleive that after everything that has happened, Boti can be accused of hacing his own agendas and being negative about basketball.

Has everyone ALREADY forgotten the huge hole basketball in SA was bailed out of today? If it wasn't for Boti making noise about the situation in the first place, basketball could have very well sunk faster than the Titanic, with less trace than morality on Hindley St!

Then again, it's typical for the negative nellies who know they can do better in their own insecure little worlds, but of course never actually attempt to do something to change the situation in the real world!

To the statsmobile!

I think yogee deserves some credit for that post,he makes a point you can't argue with! And it made me think about what Boti has really done for our great sport!

Some of Boti's spare time at the moment is being spent on Brett Maher's biography. That's expected to be complete by the end of this year.

Boti for pm!!!!

I agree. Without Boti, who would be writing about NBL in the paper?? Rucci??? Cornes??? *shudder*

Boti has been kind enough to respond via me for the interest of Rueben and others. Here's a bit about what keeps him busy:

The gig at the paper is more or less part-time. On top of that, he does a weekly spot on TABradio (Wednesday, 7:10AM) talking about basketball that goes live to SA, Qld and the NT.

He's also involved in cadet journalist lectures for The Advertiser. (OMG, an army of caped cadets coming our way!)

As mentioned elsewhere, he's writing Brett Maher's biography, and also working on his own book which some people may have heard mentioned - Basket Cases.

He runs the U14 girls program for the Eagles and is a coach of the Div 1 team. He does some individuals with upcoming players and his daughters.

He's on the Hall of Fame committee of the NBL and occasionally features on FoxSports for programs or features.

And when time or drunkeness permits, he may be seen rampant in a Zorro cape, asking "Is it billowing?"
