Congratulations to the North U18 girls and the coaching staff.
As per previous post correct, re first years I believe there are 6 bottom aged girls in their team plus a girl still eligible for U16s.
As an opponent coach in this grade I thought the game was exciting and a good final to watch.
North out the blocks early played above themselves 2 qtrs got up by 14 at one stage, then Forestville came back, due to missed shots and layups by North. North steadied the ship in the final minutes to get the prize.
Well done Dellapere and his chargers!

I believe a kid from Sturt U18 Div 2's did not see any court time. Is it true his team won by about 18 points? Sources tell me the kid is the tallest kid in the team.

If so disgraceful effort by the Coach. Actually I find it hard to use that term in this instance. More so, Disgraceful effort by the championship hunter disguised as a coach

What a great way to smash the enjoyment out of a kid.

Winning by 15 wouldn't have been enough!!! The kid and the parents understand???? This parent wouldn't and believe me, neither would the kid or his parents. Disgraceful.

True Sturt coaches are the ones that went through their junior program and then took coaching positions and assistant roles still at Pasadena.

Non Sturt coaches are hangers on that show up looking for a team.

But thankfully there are lots of ex Sturt people who have the balls to leave and coach at rival clubs. Mainly due to the fact they don't have ego hang ups about winning and see a challenge and take it on.

Jack you do the homework there have been lots of hangers on show up at Sturt over the last decade and it will continue into the future no doubt.

Not at all. If you are going to make an accusation and have a go as an anon, at least grow some stones and name 'em!

I agree that unless there's been a lynching mob at your current club, why not stay there, create and build something rather than hang onto someone's coat tails. The grass is always greener, but usually never the case. If your old club booted you out and you think going to another club will solve your issues, it won't. Clubs need to do a due diligence if coaches changes clubs as well.

Sturt should be rightly proud of their GF results. 10/16 in the Div 1 and 2 is a mightly fine effort and shows how serious they are about winning.

In a two team event, a win % of 50% should be expected, so achieving (in Winter 2013) a win rate in the boys of 83% and 72% in the girls is exceptional. Another interesting point is that no Sturt Div 1 or Div 2 team in both boys and girls had a draw, whereas every other clubs had at least one drawn game. To me, this suggests that the coaching ethos at Sturt is such that they know how to win the close games

I feel sorry for the kid that got no court time in the U18 Div 2 grand final. But at the same time it's not social basketball and when you've got 10 players in a team it's not viable to give everybody equal court time.
Even if the player got 5 minutes on the court that's still nothing. If I was a benchwarmer in Div 2 I'd rather be playing as a starter in Div 3. I don't know the guy but if he's the tallest guy in the team than he has the physical characteristics to play high level basketball. Probably just needs to work on his skills and get into the weights and work on growing into his body or something. Hopefully he uses it as motivation to improve as a player.

It's not their fault people want fast results and Loyalty is at best two faced now days.

Congratulations to Sturt on another dominant season, but how about you only accept what walketh your way instead of actively begging the best players in the association to walk with the darkside.

Sturt will always dominate the junior program, its just been their culture since the 1970's, no matter who coaches there.

So maybe "the top junior coaches of the club for the last 20 years" should have tried for success at their original clubs then the competition would be more even and SA as a whole would perform better nationally.

But as said previous I congratulate the sturt people who had the sportmanship and creed to coach somewhere else.

From what I know

Penno
Kinsmen
Hampton
Warhurst
Wilson

Kubank

Basketball in SA in not in a good state when one club is so dominant.
For basketball to grow all memeber clubs need to be competitive.

Lets no kid ourselves , Sturt continually poach players from other clubs.

Dont give me this dribble about sturt offering a better environment.

All of the clubs are working hard to develop their juniors. But it makes it very difficult when you develop some div 1 talent and then loose them to sturt through poaching.

It would be an interesting stat to get from BSA on the number of div 1 players that have moved to sturt.

Perhaps that Neil Glidden has left sasi the movement may be reduced.

I don't think Sturt are better at it as such, I know they actively approach parents and kids even if they don't really need them but there are many factors - Parents want the best for their kids and hence they want their child to be a winner - Sturt offer winning teams and so have the ability to assess replacing an average internal player with a better external player and do it.

Sturt will argue that they have to poach to compete interstate but I am not convinced about that especially with their claimed coaching and development strength.

To improve there are certain things which need to occur. One is a strong, healthy competition week in week out. The issue that this is not the case as the best players are being poached which weakens many of the other clubs. Coaches after starting to see the rewards for their efforts become disenchanted with the continual flow of their better players.

Sturt will argue that give them what they want and they will stay. Unfortunately not all clubs can promise a better pathway through to higher levels borne by the incestuous old SASI system. I hate to think how many times you see Sturt SASI coaches doing excessive one on ones with players from other clubs only to see them move.

BSA has a chance to fix this - I hope they don't let that opportunity slip.

I'll give it my best shot for team who did well at classics, but I'm sure I will have some mistakes. And compare it to their Grand Finals opponent/rival.

14 Girls (8 out of 11 gome grown) - Forestville (8 out of 10)
18 Boys (7 out of 9 home grown) - West(2 out of 9)
16 girls (8 out of 10 home grown) - Forestville (9 out of 10)
12 Girls (8 out of 9 home grown) - Eastern (8 out of 9)
12 Boys (8 out of 9 home grown) - Woodville (4 out of 8)
16 Boys (9 out of 9 home grown) - West (6 out of 9)

Total

Sturt 48 out of 57 (84%)
Opponent 37 out of 55 (67%)

Hope that clears things up.

Maybe Sturt should be doing just a bit more recruiting. Just to keep up with the other clubs.

Clubs need to question why the loose their best players and coaches. Ask the right questions but you might get answers you dont want to hear. And it has nothing to do with egos or winning.

I absolutely agree with the above post. Good coaches and players leave for similar reasons. Has anyone bothered to ask them why, or do we just assume they get promised the world. It's a little insulting to say that players and coaches that change clubs walk into sasi or state teams. Maybe the environment they walk into fosters their development and they may actually work hard to get there.

I can think of one club that has lost numerous coaches who have gone on to coach state.

There are a number of ways to look at this but it would seem that most clubs are just happy to field have teams in the competition and a few clubs actually focus building a winning program. Rightly or wrongly, I'm not sure what is wrong with that, but don't throw stones if a player or coach wants more than that.

Basketball is an expensive sport to start with so if players (or more realistically parents) feel they want more for what they are paying for, of course they will look elsewhere. Hasn’t anyone on this forum who constantly complains ever been headhunted for a new job or resigned to take a role with better benefits (more money, work life balance etc)? I know this is junior sport but the reality is that people sometimes want/need better/different situations to perform at their best.

The by laws make it alomost impossible for a disgruntled to kid to move.

Therefore once you have played one game in the 2's you are stuck there for the season.

Seem plenty of examples in the land of the Blue where a kid is promised Div 1 played in Div 1 for the first game or two and then mysteriously is dropped to Div 2 for the remainder of the year with no opportunity to then move.

Multiple kids moved mid season this year.

If that was the case you'd see a mass exodus at seasons end. Either between summer and winter or at the start of summer. Which again doesn't happen.

Not sure it really fits in with the "Sturt bashing" theme, but I reckon there was a div 1 boys team that didn't put 2, or maybe even 3, boys on the court in their grand final. Not that I have a problem with it either (there could be any number of legit reasons such as injury/illness), but to just bash one team/club whilst another did the exact same thing with impunity just reeks of inconsistency.

Amazing how one individual case I mentioned becomes the catalyst for a lot of sad individuals spewing collective spiteful bile about other clubs and the former State Director.
For anyone who is interested I believe the kid is really gutted.
My guess is that the Director of Coaching at Sturt will probably tell the coach he is no longer required.
No one in their right mind could condone what happened. Would be interesting to listen to the comments from everyone walking past him if he allows the coach to stay.

I have been told by a Sturt parent that this kid was in Div 3 as a top age U16 and has worked his behind off to improve.
No way they would let him go for a coach that has been there 5 minutes and displays that sort of behaviour.

Can't wait for the first round to see........

I would say that with the number if players playing SEABL and NCAA (that are still eligible for yourh league) they have had an incredible amount of success. That and with the number if injuries show that they would have 2 teams good enough to win Youth league.

That's the true sign of success.

They could roll out a team of;

Tom Daly SEABL
Jan Warbout SEABL
Corey Maynard NCAA div 1
Nathan Spehr NCAA div 1
Josh Owen-Thomas Canadian college
John Marriott inj
Nathan Kareta inj
Sam Daly NCAA div 1

To have all those players unavailable and still only lose the grand final by 2 is a monental performance. Something the likes of southern could only ever dream of emulating.

If Sturt's program is so perfect and everyone needs to play there with him then why can't he get a job in Victoria despite applying for every basketball job that is advertised?

It's all a front and covered up by having the best kids and constantly adding the elite coaches and players from other clubs to bolster their wins.

Why don't BSA introduce a transfer fee so any elite player or coach who moves to another club has to include a fee to their original club for the development they do for someone else to take the credit?

Going to college doesn't count when mummy and daddy are paying 40k per year to go to college. US college must be loving Australians paying for their facilities.

This thread was supposed to be about Junior Finals results. Should a new thread be started?

Its Sturt doing the dreaming of what it may be like to in a Div YL flag.

Earlier this year Southern beat Sturt who had Spehr, Daly and Marriot all playing so Tigers clearly the better side.

Tigers did not even have Sam Mac on Tuesday.

You clearly are the fool!

At least 3 of those listed players started at other clubs and two of them didn't move to Sturt until very late

West would have been the big loser if a sure transfer fee were introduced.

Didn't see anybody claiming that they were all home grown. Just that they weren't available for the game. I'd take those 8 over southern with Sam Mc any day and twice in Sunday.

Obviously Sturt would rather have their kids getting greater opportunities than a youth league win.

I guess we stay at Southern and not Sturt as we have the junior program which produced the most recent boomer out of the two clubs. Surely Sturt don't think it all ends when they make college!!

maybe Meske is looking interstate for greater challenges? How many years now have his clubs dominated the junior landscape?

Sad, sad conversation

Typical South Australians, to busy knocking people that aspire to achieve more.

We should be all promoting our successes and becoming a better basketball state

yes Sturt poach, but shouldn't clubs look at why their players and coaches leave?

Always make sure your own back yard is in order before pointing the finger

Just sayin

I wonder if southern people know who was their coaching director the last time they won Champion Club.

Any guesses?

You forgot two of Sturt's taller younger players
Claybrin Mc Math 6'9'' US college
Stefan Wright 6'8' US Junior College

They would have certainly helped Sturt in U/23 and ABA this year

LOL I know. Pick me! Pick me!

Well done Paul, it's a sign of true success that Southern/Noarlunga has fallen apart since you left.
