#134981 youre spot on! A team of babies, and not a single national league player. To push Tigers and West in back to back weeks shows the development of the group and the learning curve they are undertaking.
I would watch out this weekend if I was Mavs or they might end up as the first win for the group this season!

This post will be offensive to lots of people as most respect the work ethic,time and effort Lynne has put into Woodville. There are many reasons why Woodvilles' senior team is not performing and Lynne's coaching is but one small component of it.
Lynne is working tirelessly trying to develop juniors at the club in an environment where mediocrity has been 'god' for a long time.
Assassinating individuals seems the preoccupation of the disgruntled basketball public and I'd invite them to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
Players need to take some responsibility and Woodville's basketball seniors need to improve their game fullstop!
How many of the Woodville ABA squad are involved in coaching juniors?
How many of the squad can be relied on to to do club based activities?
How many of the senior girls have attended or supported a junior team?
My criticism of Lynne is that she is too damm nice and caring - a horrific criticism in that she tolerates too much. Be careful what you wish for worried warrior because you could get me as your coach and I'm not nice and you'd be an ex warrior.

Spadge, post your basketball CV, skills and experience here. I guarantee the lady you speak about has got you covered!

You are posting comments from a position of such little understanding you could not even comprehend that you infact know nothing. Give yourself a few yrs and you will look back at this and shake your head at yourself for being so naive.

In terms of having loosing seasons and coaches getting sacked because of it. THis is not professional sports. The nature of our local basketball is an uneven landscape.

The club is stuck and does not have the heart to move her on. she is too close to all involved and the decision to have her step down is now a tough one. if it had been made 4-6 years ago when the writting was on the wall, we would not be having this discussion.

Will the pres make the big decision, cant see it happening. They will not go after a coach hard like other clubs, hell they will prob leave it up to Cam Wilson like they do for most senior coaching roles.

Does anyone want to see a game of one on one Spadge v Booga - the winner is allowed to bag the other one for the rest of the year with no repercussions (at the amusement of the rest of us).

Is it just me or do you get the feeling that their is some pent up sexual tension going on between these too.

Does anyone smell a romantic comedy or sitcom in the works?

old balls get a clue it's funny how u all just look at the results and go oh well she's not good enough get rid of her. what u don't know is the womens side of the club is going to be competetive and sucsessfull because of the hard work of lyn and other junior coaches in the club. the club went through some lean years lately but with no talent at junior level to develope after the lyndals and gates and co a lot of hard work was done at u12 level to makes sure the juniors have the skills to compete at high levels. those girls are now under 18' s and with 4 girls in the mix for state it shows u the hard work lyn has put in, those girls will be the back bone of the abl team in a couple of years and with the quality of kids we have at u16's, 14's and even at under 12's the abl will prosper and be very strong. when these kids come through and lyn iswinning championships will u all be asking how it happened?? no i doubt it because u will be chasing somebody else's head, so watch out west since there junior girls program is rebuilding spadge will want the abl head coach sacked in a few years time because the aren't winning.

spadge there are things u said earlier that confused me like u having a girlfriend that played basketball how is that possible with all the bandaids on her keeping the air in!!!!!

booga since I know nothing about the woodville womens team lets add a few names to your lyndals and gates and co.
If I knew anything about it I would add the following players that have left under lyns reign, for one reason or another. the year would be 99 ish but hey thats if i knew anything. this would be 2 years after C watts took them to the GF, they lost that by 3.

Haase
Dalton
Price
Cummins
Gommers
Witton
sheffield
Bayly
Rockancinski
Cudmore
Taylor
Kate smith (went to south instead)
Burkitt
MOESERT
kolo
Vaas
Porplecia
Lister
long

your some lean years comment is rather kind this would make it 8 years.

records on this web site plus the winless recors this year gives the lyn lead warriors women a record of 6 wins in their last 48 games.

I dont care what anyone says a 6 wins out of 48 is tough to swallow, this is just 2005,2006 and 2007 current. Do you self a favour and track it back over the 8 years in charge you may want to say sorry in more than one language.

A coach needs to be able to not only develop juniors but attrack quality players to the club.

I believe your mens team has attracted quality that has resulted in finals appearances and GF wins.

Puddifoot, Tree, Rees, Birmingham, Mupunda, Joseph.

that as well as junior development wins flags.

my original post still stands, it is way too late, the 5 year plan should have started 7 years ago. it needs to be almost a 10 year plan now.

but it needs a fresh look, how many other clubs would put up with

6 and 42.

I think i have a clue.

I think the only solution is to round up 8 sets of identical twins and assemble 2 identical squads. Twins must not have had any exposure to basketball coaching previously (unless both had the same coach and played for the same number of years).

To keep things even each of you will be issued with 4 older twins and 4 younger twins. 6 months of intensive coaching will follow(you'll both have to quit your jobs - assuming you have them - and the kids will need to take this time off school) and at the end of it all you will play off in a best of 7 series.

I am currently in negotiatons with the seven network about making this a reality TV show (co hosted by Darren and Jason Smith), however I think my plans will be scuppered by you respective lack of class and charisma. If seven falls through I'm floating the idea of a made for TV movie with Disney, only instead of Booga and Spadge the coaches will be the Olsen twins.

Let the games begin.

Be a man and admit you tried to give your original post a bit more credit.

There is no one alive today that has given as much to the Warriors as Lynne. Yeah sure the ABA is not going well & given, it has not done well for quite some time; however Lynne has put her hand up and is doing one of many jobs at the club that NO-ONE else will do.

Go back to beating "Semaphore", because that is the competition your club should be playing in, not district.

Spadge/Booga, could you please provide some background to this epic saga unfolding before the 1000s of people that view the basketball forum.

Have you guys ever met before?

Have you ever had a real life conversation with each other or did you just decide to meet on the internet?

Why such ill feeling towards each other? You both seem very passionate about basketball but this is only exceeded by your passion for hating each other?

Any chance of a reconcilliation between the both of you one day?

Any chance that you will one day coach / play against each other?

Where will this go from here? Any chance of a reality tv show? Any chance of a mud wrestling bout with each other? I would almost pay to see that!

After reading the numerous posts here and viewing this situation for the 8 years it has been going on...We can conclude
1. It is time for Lynne to leave
2. Lynne's heart is in the right place, she is a good person, but sometimes what's best for the team isnt what's best for individuals and vice versa
3. Woodville need to chase a coach who can develop and recruit (this person must also push players and cut where necessary)
4. Some good juniors are definitely coming up through the club, but this is not a direct result of Lynne's work (not taking away from the numerous hours she does put in), but recent proof of this is the U18s result in the State Champs (5th)

Basically, the womens side needs a major revamp, morale needs to be improved.

It is very sad to see a club that use to thrive, now be put in the same basket as 'centrals'.

Someone needs to make the decision!!

Reply #135308 | Report this post


Lynne will continue to do what is in the best interests of the club.
It should be remembered that numbers and the quality within those numbers dictate success at all levels because you have to have player to develop.
BASA and BSA need to understand they erred when allowing a social club into district ranks in both Wests and Woodville's catchment area. Both these clubs have struggled to attract new players to the girls area, the feeders for ABl. Wests have a better group at ABl level than Woodville but both clubs have solid U18 squads.
Social teams play discount district as they escape the high costs of running district teams and I hope BSA, BA look at this in the future.
The commitment of the Woodville seniors to the club with the exception of the captain, J B, whose contribution to Woodville is outstanding, is say the least-lame.
No other senior player apart from jodie coaches a girl's team or have adopted a junior team and I can't think of one other club where this is the case.
If you are looking for reasons why Woodville sits bottom go no further than the lack of commitment of this senior group of average players who contribute ziltch to the club. If you want to sack some one , sack them and play the juniors because results couldn't get worse.
Demand more from them or get rid of them.

Bottom line under all this rubbish Lyn does a terrific job but old balls (#135224 | Grrr!) has hit it on the head - sometimes the club has to be bigger than the person
new start - give the girls a go - Lyn has lots of other important roles to offer the club - lets get some new enthusiasm, a coach that gets the best out of the girls and expects them to give in return. Treat those that deserve to be treated properly with respect. Sometimes the damage done just cannot be repaired.

Sack the girls - if Woodville girls actually got paid properly for their trouble - some have never been paid at all they would commit more - I believe a lot of them were cooking baqrbeques and making cakes lately to help the club out. Ask them to reveal what each girl is meant to get paid (well on paper anyway). Dont keep knocking the club - do something about it and offer the correct remuneration.

14u2nv: Clubs pay seniors for performance. If 'old balls' is correct in his/her win loss ratio, the girls would owe the club a lot of money!
I've even heard some players play ABA/L for the love of it.
Yes some seniors helped out on the bbq, some baked cakes at Easter and that's great but I think I'd be looking for more commitment than that from my elite team.
Take a look at the successful clubs and the ratio of senior players coaching junior teams, then hang your head in shame when you ask for payment for a zero win season.

well instead of talking about it here - call a club meeting of all seniors to discuss the position rationally. Woodville has lost its club spirit since it moved from Athol Park and Vera passed over. The GUNNA attitude has been going on for over 4 years now and people are losing interest very quickly.

Spadge this is for you:

What's wrong with the world Spadge?
People living like aint got no Spadge
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)

How often we prayed for a new coach. Time after time getting beaten by heaps we'd come off bemoaning the fact our coach knew nothing. The fact none of us shot above 15% or 20%, knew where split line lived or what a remotely good press looked like, even slightly dimmed our negative view of the coach.
Time-outs were places to buy oxygen not listen to the coaches plea to man-up! Making position still mystifies me.
Who the feck slides in 'D' anymore I'd think.
Losing was a comfortable place to hide where the expectation of a win never arose. Trainings were compulsory but ignored because who did they have to replace you?
When we did practice queen bees rode roughly over me and I in turn rode smartly over the even more enept to breed a culture of, 'bitching better than you environment' where all the good was laid to waste.
I believed players won games and coaches lost them. I believed I owed the club nothing but it owed me everything. I believed others made mistakes but I was perfect.
I believed I was goooooooood!
Then I moved clubs and all was revealed. Other players had a work ethic. Other players listen to their coach. Other players trained with niggly injuries and went the hard yards for the coach. I saw plays reheased ad nauseum with no complaints.I was told but didn't understand that, 'Team mates' weren't just words. I slid down the grades until at rock bottom an angel appeared with these words of wisdom, 'get your shit together'.
There are many reasons teams lose, coaches rarely are the problem.

A grade spadge.... damm i can almost here the church bells ringing in celabration of this.

see this is what i like about u spadge u have no clue as to what the story is, u claim things happened that your social club is coping the brunt off but the truth is those things happened while they were wearing magic tops playing in church leagues and barossa and starplex carnivals. i'm sure chezeburger and others can reminise about the pounding they handed those boys at starplex one year because they had no club loyalty except for the "player payments" they got from wearing a magic tops.

it's funny how u excpect me to lower my standerds and be involved at your level but your unwilling to push yourself or your club and compete at my level with out cheating hhhmmmm i guess there is only one thing to say hey:
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

May I just say, that the seniors at Woodville are allowed to get away with a lot - but a majority of them do put in during games! There just is not the skill and knowledge base there to get them over the line. Noticed how many close games have been lost in the last few years?

It is almost an accepted culture at the club that the girls lose, as long as everyone is happy and friends then things are sweet - no!! Basketball clubs operate with the intentions of winning...It is time for a new era. A new coach, a few new players to guide the juniors and that will be the turn around of the club.

And...The comment regarding a meeting..funny!! No one at woodville is brave enough to say what they really feel, those who have are no longer there.

This is not and never has been a personal issue with Lynne. It is a coaching position - which needs to be filled by different shoes!!!

Why cant woodville get a new coach and Lyn be assistant?

Spadge you just make your (social)club look even worse by your attempts to be tough and funny.

Denny Crane is just a loser
and Booga is good for a laugh....sometimes.

Perhaps woodville, centrals and Magic should all combine and be one big happy family?

i dont think anyone is doubting what lyn has done for the club and the effort she has put in. i think its a case of something has been not right there for a long time and there needs to be a change. the club is bigger than any one person
