Stacker should be new Sixers Coach
Before we all have knee jerk reactions to the title and say he didnt have success in Townsville i do have reasons why i feel this is our best option.
1. Stacker is someone that knows how to run a program that will develop current and future talent. His programs are out of the school of Gorj, emphasis on hard work, strength and conditioning, individual development. This is exactly what we need here. a total culture change! we need totally different from P. Sm%$h, So no McLeod or Spawell etc.
2. Stacker has proven that he is one of the best at recruiting young talent. Was able to get Newley from us, Adam Quick was a great pick up from college until he did his knee, Ingles was going to be a Croc until they didnt re sign Stacker. We are in a three year building process at this club. If we recruit players not with youth we will continue to have the issues we have of late. Getting players that arent blue chip caliber players and discard them after a year. Youth has to be the policy and start from the ground up. No one better to do this. I believe also has a great relationship with Stephen Weigh who just left college, would be a great 3 man in Sixer blue. Also one of his former players in Greg Vaderjact is a free agent and was being looked at by NBA teams whilst under stacker, could follow him down perhaps???
3. The Newley factor.... whispers are that if Stacker gets the Dragons job, Brad will land in Melbourne. I dont think this should be the sole reason to get Stacker here but adds to the already list. If it means Newley leaves europe and plays for us for a year, he has my vote.
4. Strong ties overseas. Stackers network in Europe and the USA is believed to be quite strong. I noticed a testimonial from North Carolina Coach Roy Williams on his website. Someone with a network deep overseas can not only have value on court in the way of players, trends etc but also marketing opportunities for the organisation.
5. Passion! love him or hate him, he would do anything for the win whilst in Townsville and this above all else is what i want to see here in Adelaide, someone with true passion. We have had to watch someone take the life out of this passionate and proud club. this needs to be seen as only positive to get someone involved with this drive.
I know that there are probably faults as well, but think these 5 positives are exactly what is needed here in Adelaide and out way any negatives.
Sixers need to get him before the Dragons do IMHO!
