D-Mac or Anstey if either are willing to relocate from Melbourne

Maybe even give Shane Heal a chance..? Just don't let him sub himself on.

Heal would need to be paid under the table in cash..........got a little tax problem.

what about some ex-Kings like the Dalton brothers and Tim Morrisey?

The dalton brothers are too busy watching cheech and chong movies, laughing and asking each other where the twisties are. Brad Rosen might be able to do the job, but Tim Morrisey has a real job as a journalist.

The problem with Westover is that there is a local law in Sydney that the only man legally permitted to wear cowboy boots inside a basketball stadium is Ken Cole.

i would love to see brendan joyce back in the league.

not sure if he would be interested though.....he is probably pretty happy right now not having a bunch of dickhead critics bagging him and his family.

the league was a bit more interesting with coaches like joyce,palmer and westover in it.
bloody good coaches too.

i didn't do the 'o' like that either.

They can have Marty Clarke and we will even throw in radford! There record speaks for itself.... Oh hang on let me get back to you on the sales pitch with that one!


I'd definitely be going with a household name to replace goose. Another no ne
Coach without the nbl/pro level experience won't cut it for that team. Skill level is there need it to start meshing like it should be.

I think Isaac has a auto rule when you type that persons name, the "0" replaces the "o". So he doesn't google himself & come across this forum incase someone says something bad and he threatens to sue.

I'm serious. It has happened.

Lets try it - Joyce

GIDDEY

joyce
......had to try it!

try this joy ce

or this j o y c e

or this j oyce

Dean Uthoff.....put the fear of god into the players LOL

Personally, I think Dean Vickerman would be a great candidate. But he seems happy at the Breakers

And I have heard he is going to Las Vegas to coach a JUCO/College team

Mark Watkins

Darryl McDonald has said he wants the job and has touched base with the Kings front office. Not known if the feeling is mutual though.

Goorjian!!

The J0yce thing reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they call mary poppins sherry bobbins!

Or the shining the 'shinning'.

Chocco would be good. Heal would be an exciting call being an ex champion but the Dragons stint will put 2 much pressure on.

Goorgian!!!!!!!

Karen dalton???

They couldn't afford to sign Ubaka for pro-rata minimum. So may even be one of the assistants promoted for the final 4 games.

Heal was a disaster with the South Dragons. No thanks. Goorjian makes the most sense but the current ownership are as clueless as it gets so you wouldn't expect them to make the right decision.

So let's get this straight. The team sacks Moose as coach because he isn't getting the job done. Then they install him as CEO where he'll be working for many of the same people who knifed him and wanted him out. And they put in as interim head coach a guy who has NEVER been a head coach at ANY level EVER.

This team is a laughing stock. The damage these fools have done to basketball in Sydney is immeasurable.

Gday Anon

Why would Jim Arkell "be a joke of an NBL Coach"?
I agree he has a rough exterior, but results are results. He has won every thing there is to win in the NSW amateur leagues. Moose doesn't actually have anywhere near half of the amateur wins that Jim Arkell has up his sleeve.

Goorjian will not come back this season. Maybe not for a while. In China he is on a six figure salary.

Vickerman

Sydney is a high pressure market for potential coaches and hungry for success NOW.

The best two coaches who could take the reigns are -

DMac: Brings a marketable asset which is what Sydney basketball is built on. He has done it all as a player and is a players coach.

Vickerman: Done a lengthy apprentiship at Tigers and NZ, Coached in his ownright in NZNBL and a really smart basketball head who would bring a steady head.

In the end I would go for Dmac who is really passionate and felt cheated when he didnt get the full time Tigers gig after bringing positive results in his 10 games with a depleted roster.

Cecil Exum

What about Cotter- was successful with Knox in the SEABL, experienced with the Emus and the NSWIS?

Cotter could be an possibility, but does he have enough experience with coaching men? He is a great youth coach (as shown by his results with the Emus), but can he have the same success with men?

Marty Clarke has shown everyone that a good youth coach, does not always translate to a successful professional coach.

and Beveridge has shown how good a junior coach can be.

Jacob Jackomas?

Hoopie I agree with you, bring in an ex-Kings player as the coach. Shane Heal, Brad Rosen, Bruce Bolden, Brad Dalton..

They will instill PRIDE, PASSION, HARD WORK, DIRECTION, DISCIPLINE, LEADERSHIP, RESPECT all of which is what the players this season lacked!

Being a Kings fan myself, I would love to see an ex-Kings player as head coach leading the team back to another CHAMPIONSHIP!


TRUE

MMMM True... moose was an ex king? he was supposed to do all those things???Didnt really work out that way. Just saying.

I think Cotter who was a successful seabl coach at 27 yrs old is ready for the role.
I would put money on him getting the gig.

Mark Price ;)

Phil Jackson

Rex nottage? I think not.

I heard Ian stacker is applying

Saw a news article about Vickerman definitely applying.

Vickerman is a great candidate.

Molloy would be a great pick up for a program like that.

Cotter has withdrawn his application apparently.

Heal is favoured for the interim job by all accounts. God help the Kings if that's the case.

Yup Vickerman has said publicly that he has applied for the job and with the Breakers blessing.

Robilliard said he couldn't divulge the identity of any of the candidates but confirmed there were former NBL coaches amongst the applicants.

He said he wanted to bring in a couple of external consultants to help construct a shortlist of around five and hoped to conduct interviews on Thursday or Friday.

i hope i get an interview.....

Fire Moose, hire Heal? why bother firing moose?

Employ a coach with an extensive coaching resume, please don't hire a former player (again) with no 'extensive coaching resume'????

This appointment will speak volumes about the Kings leadership team.

I believe Tab Baldwin has applied

Baldwin>Heal every day of the week and including public holidays

I believe Rex Nottage would be a perfect fit as coach for the Sydney kings.
