Big V historical records regarding turnovers and points

Whats the closest a team has come to having the same number of TURNOVERS as POINTS?

Pakenham D2W had 30 turnovers and scored 39 points against Mornington.

This is the exact reason why the Big V has turned into a laughing stock, joke of a league. The competition is subpar, is full of players in disgusting physical shape to be a State league' player, and there's far too many teams that it is now pretty much a domestic competition with music and player intros.

How can a fair dinkum team in a State league competition have 30-40+ turnovers and have more turnovers than points. What a farce! No wonder no one wants to play in that league anymore.

There was a time when Big V or the VBL used to have NBL and WNBL players scattered throughout it.

Skip. I am sorry to tell you that you are wrong, there are far more compelling, single, exact reasons why the BigV is now a laughing stock of a league.

- the league website went down for the first time in living memory over the weekend and for the following reason
- because they have a host of their internet tv show who makes too many bad jokes

If we are going to be completely irrational, completely without context, at least lets do it properly.

Pakenham are clearly very poor, but they are bottom of the ladder in the bottom division of women's competition. I don't think you can judge the whole league on that.

People used to say the same (laughing stock, joke) about the CABL when Centrals women (it think this was the team some South Australians can confirm) went years in a row getting smashed almost every game.

Pakenham have been poor in the 1st 2 rounds, that is clear however they will improve as the season goes on. Everyone associated with the Div 2 league was aware that they probably wouldn't have a strong year and probably wouldn't win a game (i for 1 hope they win a game)

Pakenham is a growth area and im sure we will see them come to be competitive over the next couple of seasons with player development and some top up players.

Perhaps they decided to enter way to early into the league. Talk that they will be bringing in 5 players from the youth team at Dandy next year. This will defintely help, but my question would be why do they need a senior womens team in the first place?

The whole selling feature on proposals from club to get into the BIG V is that they need a senior team in order to not lose junior talent.

If this is the case why didn`t they go down the same path as Corio Bay and go into Youth League.

The Pakenham side would not beat the bottom side in YL2W.

No different to club who say they need a YL side to keep juniors, then they have tryouts and fill a team with not one local player, how is this a need for a youth side?

Pakenham are playing another very poor team this weekend in Keysborough`s women, if they can`t be at least competitive in that game they shouldn`t be there at all.

It`s been well docomented on here the poor coaching ability of the Keysborough Coach and the fact that the team is in bad shape. If Packy want to show that they belong this is the week they have to do it.

People are expressing comments on matters that they would like to see the big v fix or change. I'm struggling to understand why you so emotional.

I think Skip makes some valid points and rather than talk about the poor website and boring TV comedians (which I think also are valid points) let's debate what skip is on about.

Is the league getting too big? Is the standard up to scratch. Do we have enough experienced officials to meet this growth. Etc.

Packy is Keysy 2.0 Only they are doing it without spending money.

Keysy having to pay a heap of money to get people to their club in mens and womens. Import for two years running in the mens, plus Kevin Benn and Miraflores dropping from state champ (Nothing to show for it)

The womens side has brought in players from everywhere and is still struggling.

Womens and Men`s coach both need to have a hard look at themselves and start developing from within rather then having a high turnover year after year and poaching from elsewhere.

Take out the import and Keysy would struggle to win a game, poor form from a team that won a title with its Youth side last year. Word is that only 2 from the squad of 18 were brought back, how does that work?

Looking at stats most seem to be having success elsewhere.

If you think the shortage of officials is bad just wait till SEABL goes back and the SEABL Women's comp goes to 3 officials this year...

I know of heaps of officials doing double headers on the saturday night and games again on Sunday already.

You watch the shortage once SEABL starts up.

The league is growing at an unmanageable rate while the number of available (let alone experienced enough) officials is currently declining.

The problem with Pakenham and its women in particular is they do not have a good enough junior feeder team to allow for a senior team to have competitive players. The main ones (in the women's team) who are playing this season are in their late 20s, not juniors, they were part of their MMBL team. Any half decent junior goes to dandenong or Knox or another top VJBL association before they hit un18s to be able to play VC. The issue has been the same for years and years, and it will take a committee that can have a good 5 or 10 yr plan that is not driven by personal interests to get this working so they can one day keep their juniors to be able to progress to BigV at any reasonable level.

Yeah I've said it before as well, it's not exactly ESPN but a good way to pass some time at work so no complaints from me. Also maybe people are looking for too much from these lower divisions, I have always looked at D1/2 as "development" leagues so I don't go to a game expecting an amazing standard but for clubs and our sport to grow we need to start somewhere.....

If you are beating teams by 70 points, i would assume a lot of your score would be lay ups? So therefore 42% is also sub par given the circumstances, would you agree?

Exactly my point Ashke, so how is it you then judge the two bottom sides having a good game or not if they are shooting at or above 40%.

Alot of teams struggling to get to that point in state champ mens consistantly.

You are right in the sense it will probably be a very poor standard of game, however having walked passed these two playing at the BIG V tourny I think Keysborough should handle them comfortably.

If they do something needs to happen ASAP down there. I do not see Pakenham winning a game this year. Still cant understand why their committee would force the issue and put them in the league. Surely someone there has enough basketball IQ to decided to go down and watch a few games last season to get an understanding of the level and realise that their girls arent up to it.

I am assuming most of their players are locals or juniors? If so then i don't see a problem with entering them as you have to do it sooner or later, however signing a marquee player or two to help them in their first few seasons would have been a wise decision.

There is no way known to man that Keysie will loose, unless they forfeit the game for some reason.

Firstly, we live in a free country, where everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, I find it amazing that so many people do so anonymously. This is the first time I have looked at this site in a long time, and I am amazed at the level of uneducated, wrong information, that is being used to form a personal attack on someone. And yes, I am associated with the Keysborough Coach, I have assisted him last season, and doing so again this season. So I have a pretty good idea of what he does and does not do. And I am proud to say this is the case. I genuinely believe he is one of the best coaches going around. In addition, my son was coached by him last season, and he, and the other players, loved him as a coach. And guess what, he led them to a title. Everyone expects a bit of banter, that's fine. But I think some of these posts have gone beyond that, both in relation to the coach, and the players involved in BOTH the teams that the post started about. no problem talking about a game, but just remember, there are people involved. I am sure both sides will be giving it a red hot crack on the weekend.

For the record, correct another player, as in 1, as opposed to players being multiple, has left yes. As for the reason, people on here are very quick to jump to one conclusion. And it appears to be always a one sided conclusion taken as opportunity to bag someone. As in any side at this level, playing time is based on required match ups and merit. If players chose to go elsewhere in search of more court time, we wish them well in their future endeavours.

Must be a fun situation having your every move watched and words evaluated. People I was with had discussions with the GM among other people at the game and were told that their has been a vote of no confidence in the coach.

Seems the guy has made a lot of enemies at the club. Must be something pretty bad that he has done by the way people within his own club are rubbishing him.

It is a well-known fact there is plenty of people within that club who want to stick the boots in and see the guy fail.

He`s rubbed enough people the wrong way over the years that he deserves everything that is now coming his own way.

I Don`t rate his coaching ability based on the feedback and things I have heard. He doesn`t seem to be able to keep anybody happy at all.

I do find it funny that people from the club come on here and deny a number of the things are being said. Yet they are consistently saying stuff to people about the coach and the fact they don`t want him around.

Can`t come out publically and say you are happy with someone then tell people you arn`t in private.

Strange as I am pretty sure that the coach actually thinks he is pretty good friends with the people who want him gone, how wrong he is.

BIG V is a small world, if you talk it will get around and get back to people.

Do yourselves a favour Keysy and get rid of the guy, it`s just bringing you negative publicity for every moment he is there. Surely it can`t all be worth it.

If you are not part of the club, why are you so passionate about bagging this guy? You made the statement " I Don`t rate his coaching ability based on the feedback and things I have heard. He doesn`t seem to be able to keep anybody happy at all."

Every statement you make seems to be based on things you have heard. I know, yes personally know, a lot of people that are very happy with what he has done and is doing, myself included.

And for that reason, I am appalled at this constant stream of character abuse.

You seem to have a personal vendetta, and are taking every opportunity you can, to smear his name in a public forum. And of course, you chose to do so anonymously.

I think this all comes back to accountability, if players are leaving this team in droves there must be an internal issue or problem with the culture.

That has to start and end with the coach, it is the responsibility of the coach to build a culture or team that can be competitive on the floor and work together off it.

If what is being said above is true then that doesn`t seem to be the case here.

But you need to understand WHY they are leaving,
Are they simply not up to it?
Do they not have what is required to meet the coaches expectations?
Are they simply complaining because their little cage has been rattled?
I would have a wild guess and say that those that have left are the bench warmers, who don't like the new focus and changes put in place by the head coach? Or have the starting 5 left? I highly doubt it.

Anon I don't really see anyone bagging Keysborough! seems like one person in particular is copping the brunt of people's criticism. General consensus from reading this post is that he doesn't have the support of the club behind him.

Not sure if any of this is true obviously but a few people have made points or mentioned speaking to people at the club who you would assume are in the know.

Leaving the club in droves???? As is often the case in these posts, the over dramatization is ridiculous. Thank you Ashke for putting some common sense in the discussion, there are indeed many reasons why players leave a club. And of the 2 that went, no they were not starters. And whatever their reasons are, as I have stated previously, we wish them well.
The other correct statement that has been made is the negative posts within this thread have been an attack on an individual , done anonymously. The motivation behind it, who knows. Each time I think these attacks are over, it continues again, which has infuriated me, hence the reason for another comment. As I cannot just stand by and see a quality individual with bucket loads of integrity , a passion for the game second to none, who dedicates his life to trying to help others, including the club, be constantly attacked like this.
He brought the first championship to the club, and despite many other options , decided to try and assist the women's program who had a horrible year last year. He is a fantastic coach, and a damn good bloke. Now get off his case and talk about something else!

I was at the game yesterday.

Don't be to critical against the coach. Chelsea Come out wanting to prove a point after being smashed by Casey a few weeks prior. Chelsea's Bench has more talent that Keysy Starting 5 (Billie Lucas started of the bench!)

Issues i see with Keysy is that they don't have the depth in the roster. and just shows that there development in Juniors isn't providing them with enough Junior Talent.

Will Be interesting to see the Pakenham vs Keysy game in a few weeks, that will prove if Craig has anything to be worried about.

If the guy knew how to coach why the hell would he be starting his best player and one of the better players in the league on the bench. A player who leads them in all statistical categories and he starts her on the bench vs the top side.

Pretty darn arrogant if you ask me.

Did he think that because his team beat the Cavs that they were just going to waltz right through chelsea.

What a joke,

Doubt it has anything to do with the coach.

Playing group just not up to it. The coach has done well with the players available.

This constant harassment of a volunteer coach on a forum is pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me.

Why are the Big V not investing in refs?

Charge teams an extra $100 and put that towards retaining your best refs.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the entry fee has hardly gone up in like 5 years and it only costs about $50 a year more than it did 10 years ago. that's well below CPI

They have the same record as they did last year and he has brought in SEABL, State Champ and VYCW players. That has to be on his head.

Watched them play a few times now as they have been at venues I have been at. They play with no pasion or intensity. That is a culture issue and the coach is responsible for creating that within a team.

If those players he brought in to DIV2 were of any calibre in seabl , SCW YLCW then they would not have entertained dropping to a div2 standard.

^ Anon, in some cases yes but in others I disagree. I have seen very good players drop simply because they want to play with their mates, guys they have played with over the years and just want to enjoy the game for what it is. It also means that they don't have to take it so seriously and can just enjoy it.

Results speak for themselves and so does attitude.

I have seen that team play a number of times now. You add that poor attitude and enviroment to the results that they have been getting and you know there is a major culture issue within that team. The coach is responsoble for creating and maintaining the culture.

If Keysborough are serious about building a strong womens program long term, they will swing the axe and solve this issue before it is to late. If they don`t they are just going to end up in a position where players walk now or come seasons end.

Got beaten by 25 by a Casey team with only 8 fit players and starting with 2 development players in the starting 5.

Missing ryder by the looks of it, but still a tough loss especially after beating casey earlier in the season.

Can`t coach, get rid of him. Spends more time complaining to officials and trying to step on the court then anything else. They are where they are on the ladder because of his lack of coaching skills, the team plays with zero passion so the coach clearly isn`t getting through to them.

It`s official... The Move has been made and coach informed early this morning he wont be coaching the team in 2016. A replacement has already been told they have the position, the same person the club had been speaking to since early in the season about taking over.

Club didn`t make the call during the season for fear of players leaving and not being able to field a side.

Those who said this was all smoke and mirros will look pretty silly now.

Good riddance the club can now finally move forward, especially the women`s program. I tip them to be big improvers in 2016. Feel sorry for whatever club gets stuck with this guy going forward.

Congratulations to the one/couple of anonymous posters who have managed to complete an entire season of personal attacks and have managed to get I would say about 5% of their statements correct. Its an impressive record and thanks so much for the entertainment you have provided throughout the season. It has been very educational to know that a person/s can actually create that much verbal diarrhea. And if as has been often stated, that the information has come from a "source", that one could be so gullible to believe it and publicly state it embarrassing themselves in the process. But then I guess that does not matter does it, because it is probably even more embarrassing that you have never once put your name to your comments. Adds such credibility to everything that has been stated over the season. I guess everyone needs a hobby. But Heh, full points for your dedication and relentless pursuit of peddling crap. Took up so much of your thought process that you have forgotten that the Championship Coach, and coach of the year in 2014, was the same individual that you have been so focused on. Your right though, what club would want to pick that up! That was the first championship for the club, hopefully they will have their second this weekend. And hopefully that success will flow through to all the teams at Keysie next year as well. But once again, thanks so much for the entertainment champ, great to know such a class act exists.

Good to see Keysie finally cut that guy loose. Has been a blight on there club for years and certainly doesn`t have any supporters down there.

Have to wonder how they keep that place a float though. No domestic junior comp, No domestic senior comp. 12 juniors sides from what I can see with none above east level.

Yet they support three senior teams, well done to them. Guess it will be another big season of recruiting from elsewhere to keep the ship a float next year.

What a mistake  
Years ago

I noticed that Chelsea Gulls have gone and hired the past Keysy Cougars coach that was sacked as there new coach. So they go from winning a title and moving up a division to hiring a coach who took a team to a bottom two finish? Seems like a really smart move that one.

Good luck to Chelsea they obviously have no idea of the problems and issues they are getting with this guy coming on board.

What ever this coach touches turns to dirt so 2016 isn`t going to be a very positiive year for the Gulls.

Cougars must be pumped that they finally cut out the cancer

Get out now Gulls while you still can.

To not shocked, and what a mistake. Wow. There is some real quality people in the basketball game, many of who I have formed long time friendships with on and off the court, including the person you are attacking. Unfortunately there are some real low life's as well. I have no doubt you have prob both contributed to this disgusting thread in the past, but now you have well and truly crossed the line. So I am shocked. Shocked that anyone would lower themselves so far into the gutter to post what you have. And of course, you do so anonymously. Guess you would not want anyone to know who you are after sinking so low

The problem is Anonymous, that this has nothing to do with Basketball, on what is essentially a hoops forum. Nor does it have anything to do with the topic. Or even what the topic diverted too about his coaching ability (which by the way, he has a championship and a COTY).
