Loosing Schueller is a big blow to the Tas program. Hopefully there is someone else out there with the same drive and energy that is prepared to take on the job. Need to attract some new blood, someone who is unaware of the bitching and politics that goes on (in all states from what I often read on here).

I think the way they went with schuceller was a good thing with tas a smaller state... he was extremely energetic and committed to the job and the players/ coaches of the program always came first!

good on him and wish him the best of luck! hopefully TIS will get a new leader who is similar in aspiration, desire and dedication to the job.

I highly doubt that...
Justin is very encouraging of playing the international/ BA style of play which the 3 point shot is an integral part. so doubtful.
If you look at the actions tas. run e.g. Fist, shuffle etc. they encourage shooting the 3 point shot.

FACT. His move is a blessing for Basketball Tasmania.

Schueller was progressive, innovative, forward thinking and worst of all honest.

His crazy idea to train and play to win challeged a culture where participation is the pinnacle.

For a state already in turmoil this is a massive blow to Tasmanian basketball.

Tas has four heading to the U19 Auscamp this month and one in the U17 squad. I doubt Tasie has seen that too many iimes before. I think Schueller would have had a big hand in getting the program to this level.
Its a shame that petty politics and private agendas from the Basketball Tas board have caused a situation where he would even consider leaving. Good luck finding a replacement!

The 'remember when' mentality of Tasmania is in part why this situation took place.

There has been some great individual talent at times. But the current breadth of talent and number of high quality athletes across all age groups. Lot of credit to Schueller.

No one has to spruik his athletes as the people that should know, do know. Their performance speaks for them.

Athletes who didn’t want to work hard or made excuses fell by the wayside, which created a lot of tension.

He did all he could to improve the sport in Tassie but Basketball Tas for the most part ignored his proposals or refused to support him. Yet they were quick to blame him for all the states woes.

Justin was always available. He invited anyone to attend his sessions to observe or take part. Those coaches who supported his plan and saw it work.

Many more had opportunities and declined - State and Regional included - and their results showed it. But again he’s blamed for not developing coaches – rubbish!

His departure will create as huge void. We'll get a replacement but the brain trust is still the same.

Even rumors getting about that if kids defied them and attended justins sessions they would no longer be eligible for state selection.
May not be true but when you are seen to be treating your athlete/parent clients as idiots who don't deserve any form of consultation these things become believable.

Tasmanian U16s disgaceful at the nationals,take out Ben Armstrongs kids and no U14 talent, a good junior coach would be looking to develop some talent he can ee that he has divided the whole basketball community and is going for greener pastures.

I find it very offensive that anyone from Tasmania would try an take a shot at Ben Armstorng and his wonderful playing career. Bball lover I would love to see your playing days highlights and compare it to Ben's.

BTas has often had great workers doing great work with juniors and that goes back to the days of Regional Devlopment Managers (giving away my age)
The way I see it the problem is that the state still functions under three regions and not one identity as people think an hours travel is some big deal. Then there is the political side of things where there will always be one or two feathering their own nests and not working for the best interest of all, just a select few (one if you want to be specific.)

Well anon, how about you go do the homework yourself. I do believe Vance has plenty of stats to back up his theory, and he obviously sold it to Coach Cal.

Start with the points per possession, and then look at the shooting %'s that are relating to the points per possession, i do believe they were both at their individual highest when the "key or 3" was implemented. Then let me know where the highest % shots were taken from and what Vance's points per possessions were.

Racking it will often get you to the charity line, so by all means include that in your mid range shooting if it makes you feel better.

Possibility #1
TIS will decide it is too hard and can't be bothered with dealing with BT and move the money and resources from the basketbal program to another sport, or individual athletes, that deserve and appreciate it.
Once this has happened BT will finaly release the plan, but most of the elite players will have moved on by then.
But really it is anyones guess. No information being released. Starting to look elsewhere.

Lets put some numbers in here. Lets say on average there are 6 or 7 Div one teams in each region in each of the U14, U16 and U18 age groups times 2 for Boys and Girls.
Average 8 per team (I think all of those numbers are generous)that makes aroun 300 to 350 per region therefore roughly 1000 kids in the mix. for the whole state.
Basketball Tas run the State development Program and select say 80 of those to join (times $500). From that group TIS select 12 Scolarship athletes and approx. 20 for the Emerging Talent Squad to train with them.
Therefore 30+% of those identified by basketball Tas get exposure to the elite training program. But they don't think they are getting any value from it???
I wonder how these figures stack up with the Victorian elite pathway programs. Previously mentioned on this site 180 members in NITP for the whole of NSW!!

For those that are obviously clueless as to how the the TAS state structure WAS set up before BTAS cut everything.

There WERE essentially 5 tiers
Tier 1: TIS with 12 athletes - high performance athletes
Tier 2: Invitational TIS athletes who were invited to attend training camps with TIS and to do BA nationally recognized testing every 3 months. These athletes also had BA profiles. These athletes were also ETS and SDP athletes. On average there was 4 boys and 4 girls in this group. These athletes were in line to get TIS scholarships into the future.
Tier 3: Emerging Talent Squad (ETS). These athletes are selected athletes from the SDP program. These athletes were trained once a week with TIS athletes by Justin Schueller. Each region had approximately 20 athletes each in this program (equals approx 60 for the state).
Tier 4: State Development Program (SDP): There was on average in each region of 20 athletes within this program. Usually these kids have worked hard and earnt a spot into this program via the RDP.
Tier 5: Regional Development Program (RDP): On average 20 athletes from each region. (60). In the past the RDP was run for the same period of time as the SDP. Athletes all tried out for the spots. Essentially the RDP was where a second year 14 player would start on their pathway to TIS and then nationally teams.

Both SDP and RDP programs were run by coaches who were being mentored by Justin Schueller in the correct trainings that Basketball Australia required.

And yes kids dropped out of these programs all the time. Sometimes due to they just were no longer interested. Some due to they thought (or their parents) they should have been further up the pyramid than they were. Parents need to realise athletes are moved up the pyramid if a coach can see they have the potential to make Australian junior teams. Some athletes just don't have that potential and unfortunately many of our Tasmanian parents look at their children through rose coloured glasses.

Bball TAS have as of today finished the TIS program which means the TIS invitational athletes also are finished. Bball TAS about a month ago canned the ETS program.
Bball TAS have in place a SDP program but the new RDP that Bball Tas have put in place is open to everyone in all age groups and is essentially just another training run that each association/club runs for their juniors anyway. RDP is not really part of a pathway planning anymore to get our athletes noticed by BA.

So in summary Basketball in Tasmania have gone from having 5 Tiers whereby an athlete, if have the potential, could work their way up the pyramid to, having one tier which is available for 30 kids in each region with nowhere to go?

And if anyone wants to look at the figures (TIS 12 athletes, SDP (60 athletes) RDP (60 athletes) in my calculation works out to be 132 athletes versus 90 athletes. *TIS invitational and ETS were from the SDP group. ETS and TIS invitational athletes never had to pay extra for this privilege.

And if anyone has a problem with this information yes I am in the know as my child is involved and has been heavily affected by Basketball Tasmania’s poor management and utter disgrace of not thinking about what is best for the junior basketball development within Tasmania but of only their own personal vendettas and agenda’s.

Has anyone thought about what this means to those young hopefuls going away to U14 club championships next week. Who is going to be spruiking Tasmanian kids names to the 'right’ people? Oh that’s right its only about participation and we don’t want to wish any of our talent to go any further than Tasmania.

That is what I was trying to cover only I used "Modern Metrics" instead of the 1970's imperial logic that we need to use here in Tassie.
Point is we have the population of a suburb of Melbourne and our kids were being provided with first class opportunities in Basketball development if the ability and desire were there.
The popular spin is that Justin's program was only catering to his faourites and too many were missing out at lower levels. I dont recall any junior players in the last five years, that even came close to showing elite potential with the desire to work for it, that did not get to at least tier three in the above post.

It sounds the same because in any program, in any sport, where selections are competitive and limited, resources are limited and allocated to disproptionately to the greatest talent you will get those not selected, that missout, complaining. Often this mindset is part of what causes them to fail not only in their sport, but all walks of life. This is human nature in many cases.

You can insert the exact same discussion for any high performance program, in any sport, about any leader. Frankly, I read it as the psychological aspect is interesting but I find it a bit repetitive and sad.

Sorry Anon #437020 I have proof that No Schueller did not apply for this position until the week before he told his kids. He has such a great reputation around Australia that within one week of applying Vic country gave him the position.

And why would he wish to move away at this particular point in time when that bunch of athletes are reaching their goals with aus camps and U17 and U19 selections within the next 12-24 months time. This would of been Schuellers time to shine too. Think about it!

Do you even know how the U17 and U19 Australian selections occur???

Exactly!! The Process is in place to stop jobs for the boys happening, there would be uproar if this position was not advertised and due course taken.
Applications
Short list
Interview
All in a week?? Not likely!!
Justin was the best applicant and won the position i would say, moving to bigger and better things.
Easy to let people think he was pushed out so he looks like he is not letting the kids down, Win,Win comes up smelling like roses.

I'm sure the BTas move would not have come out of the blue over night either. Surely they would have been doing everything they could to put pressure on Schueller for a long time.
If I was in his position and an opportunity openned up in another state, I would most definitely have at least made some enquiries, even if I didn't really want to go.

But lets move on for his sake and our athletes sake. Knowing him he does not want all this rubbish talk, he would just want a program for our kids to just have a chance to play for Australia sometime, a small chance we know but that's their dream and goal.

Still no program no coach, they wanted change but nothing organised.
If there is any high performance coach out there looking for players give T.I.S a ring for contacts. Athletes and parents looking at options for programs and schooling. Already have some but need to look at every program that is available.
No high performance no chance for Australian selection and to fulfil their dreams and goals.

BTas have to many other agendas and have forgotten athletes and pathway.

3 boys have made AUSTRALIA 19s but have no high performance program in Tassie.
So what was wrong with Schuellers programs. Currently 4 in Aussie sides and 4 more on depth charts so why the change.
Chris McCoy and certain board members have a lot to answer for.
No T.I.S, little funding from BA, the best athletes will have to leave and seek pathways with other states.

If it is Schueller then he should give up putting petrol on the embers of a fire and get on with his new job that he chose for himself. Schueller left the cushy comfort of a Tassy Government Job working with just 12 athletes answerable only to himself and left Tassy Basketballers in the lurch.

But everyone in Tassie and mainland need to support our players in some way not just putting us in to hard basket.
Why this happened is very regrettable and BTAS would have to admit this was handled very poorly. Lets hope our players are not held back by this and are pushed forward to excel for their club, state and maybe nation or even professionally. We have our fingers crossed.

Terrible that those poor 12 kids are so disenfrachised isn't it. Of the 3 newly named Australian under-19 reps how many will be in the state in a years time? Possibly zero. 1 has already gone to college with no assitance from the lacklustre Scheuller.
It's also a shame that Scheuller was so MIA across the state. No loss what so ever IMO. I am sure Country Vic will find that out eventually. Happy to be proven wrong.

You the one who seems disenfranchised. Your kid's missed out or the like. Schueller gave more kids more opportunities than any of his predecessors. RE: Country Cup for example. The tournament had only run for 20+ years when Schueller organised the first Tas teams to compete there. And BTas is gonna keep Tas involvement going there. Gave the 2nd ten behind those making state squads the big tournament opp each year and a chance to impress, gain experience and a shot at making the state team in subsequent years. The only thing that has been lacklustre is the approach taken in many years past where we just made up the numbers. All this anti-Schuellerism seems to be just typical tall poppy whacking and an age old view down here that we don't like change, particularly coming from some young interstate smartarse.

BTas has very little to do with RL and after he attended last weeks SDP training and the 'meeting' I would be surprised if he didn't want to leave it that way.
Coincidentally very little is what our former HP athletes are being offered in our 'new and improved' program.
We had a Rolls Royce high performance program and it was sad to sit in that meeting and watch as they desperately tried to superglue the badge onto the Morris Minor they found in the shed out back.
Perhaps the Roller needed a bit of a tune up (although us punters were obviously too dumb to notice) but we chose to send it to the wrecking yard and only keep the badge (also forgot there was a big bag of TIS money in the glove box).
Finally found a meaning to the old phrase "cutting your nose off to spite your face".

Yes funny if not appearing to be true.

So Schueller highly qualified, highly successful and charged with working high Performance kids - which he did exceptionally well to the satisfaction of athletes & parents involved, TIS and BA. But as he didnt do the things like work with the kids he wasnt meant to, nor specifically train the coaches he wasnt employed to, BTAS decided they could do it better.

At the forum- they then patted themselves on the back for responding to this situation- alleging it was cos Schueller up and left - no acknowledgement of them withdrawing their endorsement / support for the program - which meant it was unable to continue as is.

The state of play now is, BTAS have put forward a model that has not yet been endorsed by BA and therefore not yet funded:

Radford overseeing it all, inbetween his other responsibilities though,seriously In fairness they can address that, but will BTAS? He is not gonna travel so there will be regional coaches.

Randy is a gun, and appears from some feedback, a really decent guy, but maybe just bought down to State camp for a one off, for appearances? So South coach yet to be named?

After reading article on BTAS and then comments on Advocate Newspaper, North Coach Piercy can play but has no qualifications or experience in working with juniors?

OK so when does the good news start rolling in?
Have these kids had any contact yet from BTAS?

Any idea what so ever of how much it costs for a kid to complete a full seson in this clearly wonderful program? Any idea of how much it cost the parents to send the kids away on a O/s tour, interstate, to drive them to Hobart or Launcetson or Devonport? Week in week out? If you seriously believe that Scheuller was all over the state you are sadly mistaken. Scheuller in the South week in week out. Deluded. Kids who have more talent are going interstate already and paying to be coached privately. Maybe it's Cal's school or Phil's school or Molloy's school, but they were overlooked initially. Not enought spots available as well. Probably because Scheuller couldn't or wouldn't recognise their talent. Seriously you have no real idea about whats going on what so ever.

Basketball is an expensive sport to get your kids into. I personally have outlayed many thousands over the years. That is why the TIS program was so sought after because it was FREE.
Yes there was a bit of travel to cover but with a bit of communication and car pooling it ment one trip to Launceston a month. Most sessions were either end of a SDP camp to save a double trip, and being in the TIS ment we didn't have to pay the $500 SDP charge.

This kids and parents didn't have to send their kids to camps in launceston or Hobart week in and week out. They chose to. They knew they would benefit from it. From what I've heard to, the group of athletes were like a family and were torn by all of this.

I know to the dollar exactly how much it costs. Just stating that TIS was only a fraction of the cost involved and without a doubt the best value!

Rush is more qualified than most, if not for the new child I would promise you he would still be applying his trade overseas.
Basketball tas has always had there problems, I played there and have seen how they work with the little they have, the divide between NW,Launceston and Hobart is different than any other state I've been involved in (NSW and now WA)
I think new blood needs to come in but starting at the grass roots, Piecey is a great guy and not a bad coach but can he run a program?

COST:
McCoy advises TIS program was exceptionally expensive, and another reason BTAS weren't happy with it...

Actual Cost: $0.00 - so slightly different !

For the 2012 invitational and non compulsory bi-annual international tour...User pays $$ (Horizons Tour)
All other interstate TIS tours were covered by TIS. Yes the kids had to pay for their food, assume they are fed while being at home.

Perhaps McCoy, being newish to the role, forgot the below BTAS events are all User Pays, or maybe added that into the TIS cost!:

State Team cost - BTAS event! User pays $2200- $3500.
Country Cup cost - BTAS event! User pays $1800.
State Development - BTAS event! User Pays $550

BA: Aus Camps - $0.00 for the kids invited.
BA: Tournaments - maybe user pays, but not sure even so this is not a TIS cost as they are BA events.

(and no, none of these fees cover the cost of petrol to get the kid to the event or trainings, or for food while there...)

Also interesting reading the fine print on this 2014 CCUP tournament...McCoy states $1800 is cheaper this 2014 tour than 2013... however omits to advise the CCUP tour is 2 days shorter in 2014...so another example of really good creative writing, but that adds up to being more expensive! and note this year the fee covers coaches subsidies...

Unless you are a BTAS board member, or BTAS GM how would you know what the salary was?? and what right do you have to make those comments unless it was factual? Its a risky gig putting incorrect information out there.

Given BTAS only paid $22K (newspaper) towards the program, they had a pretty good deal then.

It should be picked by BA coaches at nationals or when they come to Tas
, so parents can not complain.Hang on that's what used to happen.
High performance program is exactly that.So if you think we have more than 6 boys 6 girls who can get a AUS gig you are way off base!!!!anyway that's why ETS was developed for the next tier and this is coming back under a different name.

They use to have one in each region a long, long time ago with Rush (north) Harvey (South) and Knight (NW)but I think it was not supported enough $$$ to work back then.

The so called "Elite" programs all suffered when it went from a few paid scholarships to user pays. Then it just became a free for all and anyone with a kid and a good wage got into programs like the NITCP.

I hope for Basketball in Tasmania's sake they get this right.

in the time that schueller was in the tas program their teams both boys and girls were the most competitive they have ever been, the proof will be in those now coming through the current un16 state group who wont have had schueller in there development,
but I think if you look at the current 95/96/97 kids, and how many have made a national program/team considering tassies size, I think the answer if pretty clear Scheuller did an amazing job.

Tell yourself that often enough and you will believe it!!! Must have been pure coincidence. It was not only Schueller that got squeezed out but the whole TIS program. The replacement so far has been a poor copy of what they once had. Including the dreaded America trip which was touted as one of the main issues and the related cost to those striving to get into the program. Haven't noticed Basketball here getting any cheaper since that time!

They might not get individual coaching, but when having group training they will benefit greatly having 3 if not more (network coaches) out on the court helping out. It's not like they have 800 kids at one training either. You would know that I'm sure.

You're the one that mentioned 800 not me.
If it is a HPP then the numbers will be a lot less as you are aware and the 1 on 1 would be significantly more, so your 800 is simply the amount of kids playing ball in Tasmania.
I am sure the HPP in Tasmania isn't at 800 (You have stats for these numbers)?

Yes, capitals were much better, no point in writing like a 16 year old when clearly you are not!

The biggest improvement is the the talented kids are now playing Basketball not just training and being tested. Most people don't realise the TIS is very much suited to individual sports, that's why it's mostly testing, weight program's and individual tuition.
The very reason netball are not great supporters of it.

The National Performance Program (NPP) is designed to assist Basketball Australia identified athletes who are members of, or on the fringe selection of, National Junior Teams. The Victorian NPP will be held during September to May on a Sunday afternoon at the State Basketball Centre and be coached by elite coaches also involved with or on the fringe of National team selections.

Underpinning the NPP is the revamped National Intensive Training Program (NITP). The NITP will work with around 15 metro and 15 country identified athletes in the under 16 and 18 women and men age groups. These 60 athletes shall work under the new Basketball Victoria curriculum. Country NITP athletes shall work with identified coaches under the direction of the High Performance Coach Country in their home stadiums and at regular combined training camps, whilst the Metro NITP athletes shall work alongside the NPP on Sunday afternoons at the State Basketball Centre.

Feeding the Victorian NITP is the new State Performance Program (SPP). The SPP has been designed to be in alignment with, and underpin, the teachings and philosophies of the revamped NPP and the restructured Victorian NITP, which will allow for systematic and progressive identification, selection and development of Victorian athletes from 14 to 19 years. 


The SPP will operate between 1 October and 30 May at an accredited home association's venue, utilising and developing home association players and coaches that are duly identified and are on the fringe of the NPP, the NITP and/or State team involvement.

The objectives of Basketball Victoria’s High Performance programs are;
· To identify athletes from the VJBL, State team trials and the NITP/Southern Cross Challenge/East Coast Challenge selection camps, who display the characteristics and ability required of an elite athlete, and train them in a group environment to become future State and National team representatives and be the best players that they can be.

· To increase the pool of Victorian athletes who have the capacity and ability to meet State team standards and future National opportunities.

· To further educate Victorian athletes and coaches about the latest high performance concepts to flow through to the accredited association’s network.

BMF, I didn't say 800, it was mentioned by another poster (480114)who thought the 800 was better than the 8 , so unless it was a type O and they meant 80 then 800 is an absurd amount to have in a specialist program, even with 3 coaches on the floor and splitting sessions it would still equate to over 40 kids per coach, not ideal in anyone's books I would imagine. Personally I think one head coach to oversea an entire program with several experienced coaches in satellite areas with more development coaches under them, to be able get through and assess the kids to evaluate those who warrant more individualised coaching.

I think that is the point, there are now 3 HC one in each area working together with other coaches in each area to grow the sport in the state, it must be a better system surely.
Schueller was great but he was not in it for Tas Basketball it was all HP kids, and not very good at growing our coaching ranks in Tas if anything they dropped off.
Understanding of a small state and the importants of bringing people together for a common goal was lacking.Launceston people would disagree, but North West and South had plenty of reason to feel left out.
