This thread can stop in its tracks.

Kim Jury was the U12 coach until various circumstances (family/work/commitment) made him change his mind.
Anything else is opinion only and im sure if he would like to air those opinions he will (he isnt one to hold back).

If ANYONE has aything else to add it had better be from another club, as anyone related to the Tigers can go through myself, Travis Leaver or Brenton Davies.

We all wish Kim well with his further endevours and im sure we will welcome him back when time and enthusiasm permits.

Im certainly not defensive and dont wish to come across as aggressive.

Kim is a valuable member of the Southern Tigers basketbal club and more importantly my brother, i dont wish this to become a Southern bashing or Jury bashing thread.

After 13 years Kim is entitled to make a decision based on the circumstaces relevant to him.

Dear Anonymous,

Every season coaches at many clubs have been offered coaching roles and then changed or had to un-commit their time - why does Kim warrant special attention on Hoops?

You definitely want to attempt to stir shit when there isn't any to be stirred. How pathetic. Kim has earnt a well-deserved rest.

PS - IMO, Michelle Fisher is more than qualified to coach the team.

come on people they love knifing coaches in the back but im sure they wouldn't dare do it to kim

C'mon! Knifing coaches in the back is practically tradition at Southern.

i don't think its just a southern speciality. I'm sure other clubs do it just as much.

Exactly its just that there are many stirrers out there, some associated with the club unfortunately, who just like to Southern bash. It gets boring and I think they should get a life. As for Parents running the club, who else do you expect to run it Anon 102866? Its the volunteers around clubs that keep them going so who else would have a say? If you are associated with Southern have the balls to say something to peoples faces not behind their backs. Build a bridge and get over it, its a new season so lets see how things evolve.

I am on the committee and no my child does not play Div 1. Actually several of the positions are filled by parents of PAST juniors who are interested in keeping the club running. Parents like you are the reason for unrest in clubs- be more transparent and have the guts to actually find out what happens in the club, volunteer your time and if you are unhappy actually do something constructive not what you are doing on this forum. Not that I expect people like you to do that as its your form to keep on sniping.

You obviously have a beef with him, have the balls to put your name to this topic or approach a committe member to air your worries. Maybe also have a look at the teams his kids play in and gee if one of his kids are keeping yours out of a team approach the right people and plee their case. Or if you really think the grass is greener at another club then GO, we dont need the continual bitching.

Why dont you so-called "Adults" write a letter to STBC advising them of your complaint.

This used to be, and at most clubs still is standard procedure for people with a grievance.

Pickles .. you should try writing a concern and then you would experience "throwing effort after foolishness".

Look at the father daughter div 1 in the girls..... like throwing bambi to the lions, everone can see that.

These tiger bashing threads seem pointless, solution is simple, but sometime you just can't see the forest for the trees.

What is interesting is some of the new coaches look exciting, and dilute the power base of the Tiger norm. will be interesting to see the change in power base...

Look at the committee, and listen to the junior girls..... interesting and concerning comments.

Correct me if im wrong but the title of the thread is Southern U/12 boys.

Keeping on topic, without mentioning anyones names, how are they doing?
winning? losing?

Does anyone care about making progress anymore?

Can you elaborate on this further, it doesnt make any sense to us simple southern folk.

Michelle Fisher is probably the best coach Southern Tigers has seen in a long time she coach's under 10's which are doing really well so if you ask me all of you that are having a cry are probably jealous that your kids clubs aren't winning against her strong teams.

Her kids work very hard to get to were they are and were they are going to go in the future.

Michelle has earned her place for div 1 teams and could coach higher aged and skilled people but no instead she works to developing the younger future of kids for the sport of basketball. So if you want your kids to learn the game and play very well bring them along to the tigers and let them learn from a great coach. If you want ill will get you the times of her training sessions.

Ow and by the way her
Under 12's boys are sitting 1st with& 5 Wins 1 losses and 1 Draw
And her under 10 boys are sitting 3rd with& 4 wins 2 losses
