Where is Mr Arnott?

YL Women, Brenton Johnson - is that yet another one leaving Norwood or is this a different person?

Different person.

Thanks for that, what's this guy's history then?

Do SA clubs publish their coaches ahead of the season?

I saw here a couple of weeks back that another Norwood coach is going to Centrals. Does anyone know what age group he is coaching?

SA Clubs have trials in August for next season which starts in October as BSA sees junior basketball as a fundraiser not a development program.

eagles nest, how are those rose coloured glasses? They seem to be doing the job.

A who's who of SA basketball? Hardly.

Eagles nest we were at Eagles and thought it was well organised but then we saw last the smoke and mirrors and we left.... It is not great for everyone as it obviously is for you. Who's who supposedly means who coaching for whos benefit !!! I see some coaches on he list looking after their own families interests. The current ladder tells a lot !

I know other clubs have their coaches sorted and now going through the details of players, movement and numbers. Having trials early allows some planning taking in to consideration coaches requests (some make changes to suit their changing family circumstances). Then you can sort out your available spots and team numbers. Early planning works well and having all the facts means you can mix and match to suit ever evolving needs of all involved. It is not always about winning. I know plenty not happy at the whos who club including myself who left. Interesting to see they have now made the changes now certain peoples children are involved but refused to do so when others were complaining and leaving...obviously we weren't well known enough and deserving of the same attention as the whos who....

I sat through some eagles trainings. Was an absolute sham to watch. There were about 25 kids on the court. They did the same catch amd shoot, and catch and shot drill for about 20 mins. Because there were so many kids and the coaches just seemed to have no idea kids were co stantly standing around waiting for their turn to shoot. The poor coaches didnt seem to have much knowledge at all. Eagles nest not bagging eagles good luck to u. I certainly would encourage other parents to watch some training sessions to make an informed decision.

So do we have any other clubs coaching line ups at all?

why does everyone need to know. people talk with their feet and if a club is big at least most are happy. You're just nosy and it really makes no personal difference to many on here apart from those who have crap to say...

Their seems to be quite a fair percentage of parents coaching their own children in that Forestville lineup. Generally this is considered poor governance isn't it to allow this to happen? I know the BSA website has noted parents will not be considered for their kids age groups which seems sensible. I guess Forestville just aren't that progressive?

South coaches have been named

Bell, Arnott and Winter - not offered a spot at Forestville? Their choice or the club's?

You mean southern? On their website

Good to see South sticking to those coaches that have started the rebuilding process for their girls program.

Stability was required.

Can we give a shoutout to all the Div3-6 coachs that work hard to get the kids prepared to play for these other coachs

no

Nothing from Sturt yet?

Woodville?

annon no club is posting these members are.

Sturt members haven't posted anything as Sturt hasn't informed its members who is coaching what.

That's fine each Club is free to do what they like, but your comment above suggests the clubs have posted their coaches on hoops and I doubt that any club has done that.

Woodville have lost a lot of coaches already so would be interesting to see there line up

I assume Woodville's three most important - and best - coaches will all be remaining - McDonald, Clark and Corey.

They don't need many div 1 coaches either. Any word on if they'll be fielding div 1 in 14, 16, and 18, girls this year?

Flames in struggletown! Mass exit of coaches, with no experienced coaches left, or coming to the club. Problems a plenty! Watch this space.

why are they leaving?

Word is Norwood are trying to "re-build" their coaching ranks. They have been on the slide for a few years now, but it seems they have hit rock bottom!

They are trying to 'rebuild' because they have no choice. All their good coaches have gone and nobody wants to go there to replace them.

Rebuild is the word you use to hide the fact that everything is a total disaster.

Their u18 coach won State Champs and still decided to leave. When your coaching ranks are so thin how do you let someone like that get away? That says a lot about how bad it must be.

Has there U16B1 coach left?

but what is causing this mass exodus

061, because apparently the lunatics are running the asylum.

The big problem at Norwoodis that those calling the shots have little basketball knowledge, despite what they run around telling everybody.

Norwood losing players as well as coaches by the minute! North Adelaide fighting back but has a big job ahead.
Centrals definitely the better club in the north

Norwood has been in a downward spiral for a long time. I'm not convinced that Norwood's loss is Centrals gain. More like the the problems Norwood has are been moved across to Centrals now.

What positions are those calling the shots that allegedly don't know anything?

132, the two coaches who will be at Centrals were the only decent ones Norwood had left. You could hardly call them the problem. How is a coach who just won State Champs part of the probem?

The problems Norwood has are the ones still there.

Simon, do you ever do any work? Seems all you do is post on here and bag Norwood. Please do us all a favour and just SHUT UP!!!

Keep going simon lol

there are some junior teams that are going along nicely and improving. credit to those coaches players and parents. 12 Div 2 boys and girls are showing promise. They are playing a nice team game and our teams enjoy playing them. credit where it is due.

Club will peak and trough depending on their decisions.

Or are sturt running on a 15 year peak?

Might want to check how many times other people have said that very same thing.

What makes you think it will change.

Sturt are brought up because "peaks and troughs" are utter rubbish, and they prove the point. I'd hardly call it woofing, merely used as an example.
Norwoods 14 boys coach is very good. Don't think he is leaving but certainly isn't coaching a D1 team as head coach, which is a huge loss for Norwood.
And the above is right, Norwood are in huge trouble. I've heard some good things about the president, so the leadership is there, but some of the others who make decisions there are too full of ego with nowhere near enough knowledge (esp. of current junior basketball) to back it up.
Heard the 18s coach was on the committee?

No mention of Mavericks, does that mean no news or nobody cares?

WOW Callisto 91...clueless doesnt even begin to describe that comment.. but hey dont ever let the truth get in the way of an opportunity to snipe..

callisto91 is willie

Norwood haven't been #3 in a long while anywhere except in their own minds.
Berry and Murphy were their only "top tier" coaches IMO. Both won't be coaching next season.

Norwood have a lot going for them,
Strong tradition
Full time CD
Good central location
Good home stadium
Strong senior programs
Uniforms aren't half bad!!!

Why are they having such problems with retaining coaches, players etc? Why would you jump ship to head out to Elizabeth or Hillcrest?

Ferals? Centrals are still northern suburbs trash.

337, most of the Centrals players come from Gawler, Barossa or further country. Very few if any left from the Elizabeth days. Many many players from one of Adelaide's best private schools (Trinity).

Your comment is highly offensive and I'm sorry that your IQ is so limited that you felt the need to resort to name calling.

Well said Bruce!!! Some clubs need to get their sh*t together. Then they wonder why they can't grow and develop.

All clubs have coaches coming and going. But the movement in recent years has been extreme. Something is amiss

No, someone who takes anonymous swipes at people over the internet has sms

Who would want to coach, given that feral the new norm.

So deal with it appropriately. This is the the right place for your venting.

The little guy clearly will fit in well at his new club! Absolute rabble

Who is this small man? How small is he?

Hahaha

Now that a lot of clubs have run trials, any updates?

Anybody know Norwood's line up?

They will probably announce the coaches when they announce the teams

The irony of someone called "Flames are Roaring" posting that.

I'm pretty sure that announcement is not exactly striking fear into the other clubs. Most of those coaches would not get a Div 1 job elsewhere.

It's been bandied about here with no real answer, but where have all your coaches gone and why?

I don't think Brenton Johnson can control his meanness it seems

IMO either West or Centrals.

West? Really ? I would have said Sturt, than Centrals

Really?? No personal interest by any chance?

I think everyone on this sight has personal interest or they wouldn't be on this site?

No Tom McDonald at Woodville this year? Is he travelling or ACing?

No expectations on the West team. Norwood have gone backwards since U14s with this group. That's probably why there's scrutiny. He doesn't do himself any favours with his behaviour & inflated opinion of himself.

I have no idea who the coach is - but I've vague recollections of him being talked up here (probably by himself or his mates), and worse potting his old club on the way out.
When someone talks themselves up on here, then expect some scrutiny!

As for other states not bagging coaches, you have to be kidding me. Check out past threads of previous Vic Metro coaches, who get blasted on here pretty much each and every year. One even had his "fan" bag him for his association team....which I think made the GF (may have even won it?)

If you think he is a bad coach you should see him play!!

Does he still have the guys do army rolls across the court at trainings???

Yes H Borg, I remember that a lot of people thought this Norwood team was going to be at least top 4.
That coach dude apparently was coaching div 5 something... And this is only his second year so no surprise that heaps don't like him.

H Borg,

there is no one in that team close to being a state metro player nor being a good country player.

The talent level is thin at best in the entire age group and they dont have the better ones going round.

6 other teams have metro state players. Norwood do not.

"H Borg" and Anonymous 506 (because let's be honest you are the same person), first of all I'm not sure Norwood's previous U16 coach from last year would appreciate you using a name so similar to his own.

Secondly be very careful what you post. It's not difficult to work out who you are, you've made that pretty obvious to anyone who knows you.

Having a go at your own coach on a public forum is not a good look for you or your club.

"The arguably best player in the state squad doesn't even start from the 2 games I have been to." - that's hilarious. If you're not happy there then just leave and go play elsewhere.

Blame the coaching director, jaydan wasn't up to coaching anymore than a div 4 team in the first place, but the coaching director gave him this job, problem is he is out of his depth just like the coaching director!

123, someone who has "been to a few games from time to time" does not have the knowledge of the team that you have.

It's really easy to work out who you are and you'd better hope your coach doesn't work it out or you may never be in the starting 5 again.

Willies little mate is a state champ flop too
