Excuse my ignorance and this isn't a shot at all to Andrej, but out of pure curiosity when does Lemanis do in between tournaments (Olympics, World Cup). Obviously I know the team start to prepare 2-3 months before the event itself but still he would have some major off time.

"As part of the new full-time role, Lemanis will also become the Head of the Men's Program at the Basketball Australia National Centre of Excellence at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra."

Last year he ran clinics across the country as part of his role and in support of various charities.
I'd imagine that Lemanis doesn't have "major off-time", not that he'd be complaining.
I would like to see him as Head Coach for the COE Men's team
I think it's great that he's doing a lot of development work "in between tournaments", but I wonder if when he's coaching the Boomers he loses some of that game-hardened decision making that comes from being a day-to-day professional coach.
He was in Brisbane giving lectures to coaches this morning
Full-time head coach, best talent for a long time = poor result at Worlds.

How on earth was a team without Bogut and Mills, and blooding major championship rookies like Motum, Jawai, Goulding, Broekhoff and Exum the best talent in a long time? I would say it was the best talent since 2012, but even that is debatable!

C'mon Paul, everyone knows that even the United States were afraid of Australia's talent. Good thing for them we didn't make it past Turkey.
I don't like lemanis as boomers coach...
Thought Joyce has done an excellent job as opals coach so far.
Who's coaching the u19 worlds teams in 5 months?
Caporn and goris?
