Anstey Calling on Tigers of Old

After all the unrest at Melbourne, new Director of Basketball Chris Anstey is calling on the Tiger greats to help restore the club back to where it should be.

Wanted: Melbourne Tigers of old

"I would love anyone who has ever pulled on a Tigers uniform to see them back at the club, any supporters, too," Anstey said.

"It needs to be an all-inclusive club and not so arm's length as it's become. We need to open our doors and get them back in a genuine, productive way."

Anstey conceded the Tigers must become "more exciting to watch" and he hoped to use his contacts in the US and Russia to secure the best talent.

I'm personally not a major fan of Anstey's, but I do think he is trying to push the tigers in the right direction.

Does that mean he is the head coach?

Director of Basketball means he is in charge of personnel decisions by and large, absolutely nothing to do with coaching.

Anyone who thinks Gleeson is going anywhere doesn't have a clue.

Gleeson is only staying because they dont want to pay him out. Anstey will be making all the big decisions but wont have any pressure of actually winning games.
I've been told by a reliable source that Dmac has been told he's assistant coach under Anstey, meaning there are two groups of coaches - gleeson and short, anstey and dmac. And even more bizarre, Warrick Giddey is 2nd assistant for both groups

As was Eddie Shannon. Barlow might be one good signing he could influence.

What a joke. The Tigers are seriously stuck in the past. Time to come into the 21st century. I bet Gleeson can't believe what a circus act this organisation is.
