Jack - Scott did 8 years as head coach, not 10, but I think your point is correct.

South Women hosted Forestville last season in the first round of finals? I think last year was 2014?

mav dav = which equals 8 years as coach, not 10.

Anyway good luck to him with whatever comes next.

Wouldn't Andy Simons be the longest serving coach?

Woodville women's surprise loss to Eastern creates 3 way tie.

Norwood, North, South, Woodville & West I think.

Sturt loss leaves them one game short.

Andy will be losing that accomplishment next season

Southern women lose 11 straight to end the season, no improvement whatsoever, hope this isn't what can be expected of the lightning

^Stand back ladies and gents, Captain Obvious is up there.

A national, professional team will have more talent than an amateur state league team? Well I never

I just realised that tiger woods has more talent than the golfers playing at my local par 3, who would have known

The reason forest didn't make finals is because of bad personal choices such as Daniel sims. Had they got their chemistry together early they would have been very dangerous and in the top 3

Hindsight, dangerous thing to rely on!

so in the men, Norwood have the week off, and Warriors play Bearcats at home. Where is the game between Sturt & North to be played?

in the Women Norwood have the week off, and North play? who at home, just where did Warriors, Bearcats, Panthers finish up?

two north teams in finals, two norwood, two west, two woodville, with one sturt and one south. Will make for a cracking finals series

Woodville and south were 1-1

As Woodville played 6 (3 with west, 3 with South) and West and South have played 5 (2 each) I think it will go to higher goal difference between this would make the finals outcome
3rd - Woodville (+38)
4th - West (+4)
5th - South (-42)

Coaching director is in charge of choosing coaches, Sharon won't be returning.
Coaching director is off to Norway to coach

Razor, I think that only applies when teams play equal games

There's no FIBA method for when they don't as FIBA don't allow for it. Another reason why an uneven competition was the worst idea.

Watch BSA make up an explanation depending on who complains the most.

I hope BSA posts an explanation why the ladder looks like it does
POS TEAM P W L F A % PTS
1 Norwood Flames 22 22 0 1733 1294 133.93 66
2 North Adelaide Rockets 22 16 6 1598 1394 114.63 54
3 Woodville Warriors 22 12 10 1517 1426 106.38 46
4 South Adelaide Panthers 22 12 10 1561 1543 101.17 46
5 West Adelaide Bearcats 22 12 10 1535 1483 103.51 46

I cant find any logic to the last 3 positions, doesn't matter who finishes where but I would like to understand why

Head to Head - Inconclusive
Woodville beats South (2-1)
South Beats West (2-0)
West Beats Woodville (2-1)

FIBA RULE
D.1.3 If 2 or more teams have the same win-loss record of all games in the group, the game(s) between these 2 or more teams shall decide on the classification. If the 2 or more teams have the same win-loss record of the games between them, further criteria will be applied in the following order:
• Higher goal difference of the games between them
• Higher number of goals scored in the games between them
• Higher goal difference of all games in the group
• Higher number of goals scored in all games in the group
If these criteria still cannot decide, a draw shall decide on the classification.

• Higher goal difference of the games between them
If this is the case please refer to an earlier post Reply #540795

• Higher number of goals scored in the games between them
This would be unfair as Woodville played 6 as compared to South and West playing 5

• Higher goal difference of all games in the group
Fair, with this result
3rd - Woodville +91
4th - West +52
5th - South +18

• Higher number of goals scored in all games in the group
Fair, with this result
3rd - South 1561
4th - West 1535
5th - Woodville 1517

In every situation I can envision South in 3rd or 5th, but never 4th

MEN: Woodville vs West (St Clair) and North vs Sturt (Hillcrest); NORWOOD (bye)

WOMEN: North vs Woodville (Hillcrest) and South vs West (Marion); NORWOOD (bye)

Does anybody have any facts as to the last time that the following happened:

Both Woodville teams in the finals?
Both Forestville teams not in the finals?
Both Norwood teams having the bye in the first round?

In the first instance the split is decided by games played between the 3 teams.

South 3 - 2
Woodville 3 - 3
West 2 - 3

Pretty simple, South 3rd, Woodville 4th, West 5th. End of discussion.

Yup, agree with #852.
Win % of the tied teams mean South 3rd, Woodville 4th and West 5th.
Of course, this is yet another reason why the uneven rounds is ridiculous - another decision right up there with Super Sunday....

the by law doesn't refer to point either.

Simply win-loss record.

razor completely saying the opposite thing within 2 hrs..

and only two of the finest stadiums being used on the weekend to showcase the first rounds of Premier League finals!!

How St Clair is still standing I will never know. Hasn't changed since I played there for primary school basketball 15 years ago

Ceilings been redone. That's about it since it opened

The front entrance has also been redone and upgraded, not that that makes any difference to the actual courts.

Council really needs to do it up. Toilets and change rooms are terrible. Not to mention the actual courts themselves, the main court currently has a massive dead spot right on the 3 point line.

Forestville are going to do a hell of a lot of recruiting if the ladies want to play finals. Reserves are terrible and it's common knowledge some girls won't be back.

hahahaha

sure

If Richard dickel has said she's gone, she's gone

Richard Dickle has taken a job in Norway.

Sharon will be in charge of that role, therefore I doubt she will sack herself.

well considering richard dickel is gone I wouldn't say thats true just yet

Sharon, a coach who coached Forestville to what, second last, is going to be in charge of all the coaches? Nah

I am betting the negative anons are ex players playing at the club that actually did finish second last

Ok, third last. Not in the finals. Jess walked out because of Sharon, more will (as in actually said they will) if Sharon gets renewed. Which she won't

Yeah yeah yeah heard it all before, was the bench better at tigers or forestville?

Wife/ current player tells me a fair bit about what happens on that team. I guess first hand knowledge means zilch these days

Who would be the favourite to take over if Sharon isn't to coach

Aim is to bring someone new to the club in. Well was while Richard was there. Might change now, but you'd have to assume someone with his resume would still have his say listened to despite not being at the club anymore

Yeah good point. It's Jess Ferguses fault they aren't in finals, not the coaches inability to deal with losing their best player.

Have heard that the club has already approached a CD from another club and are planning on putting strong things in place before he coming season.

Nyberg and tucker is my guess, be a disastrous move if true

One of those at least has the right connections to make things happen. Especially on the boys side where the work is there too be done.

I think they are referring to Mesecke and Nyberg, not Tucker.

Connections but no communication skills

Why would Nyberg leave Southern?

$$$

Probably realised southern will never get anywhere

Willie bahahahahahaha

Is it true Sturt would welcome an offer to PM

I'm lost. Who has no communication skills?

Assuming the position is vacant & will be advertised who if anyone should Forestville target from within SA?

406, that is ridiculous. You clearly are getting your information from the wrong people. There is no way Sturt want to lose him.

Leigh or Tucker? One to do Richard & one to do Andy's job maybe?

#419 Not what is doing the rounds at the moment

maybe sturt are just hoping one of the jobs he keeps applying for he gets.

i hear he's had his pay cut, his job cut back and that he's being monitored very closely by certain committee people.

why does he stay? and why would sturt go through all that and not just replace him?

Not true that Sturt want him out. jealous ppl spreading rumors.

No matter how you look at it he is easily the most successful in the role in the history of the sport in SA.

Gotta love this politics in junior basketball

maybe not everyone but there are more than a few at sturt who would be happy to see him gone

The poster who threw up Leigh Scott's name was obviously joking, as was the suggestion about Rashad.

Nyberg would be around the mark if he wanted it you'd think.

Except Dickel himself has made it clear they aren't looking.

Forestville will manage it internally until he returns in March.

Not sure why Nyberg would leave Southern for the mess at Forestville. But I think he should be high on their list, along with Mesecke. They should sound out both & see if they'll move for $$.

642, the mess at Forestville is nowhere near the size of the mess at Southern. There's your answer.

Southern is a social club playing in a district competition, committee members past and present looking after their or their children's interests!

#642 Forestville aren't looking. Stop positioning yourself for a job that doesn't exist.

#647, OK if you say so. Time will tell.

Nyberg at tigers, under 16 boys doing well but that team was good in under 14's anyway and they have a good coach, under 12 div 1 girls 6-6, then every other division 1 team that play on Friday nights has less than 3 wins, I wonder if the 50k being paid by the club is really worth it

672, the problems that have caused that started way before Nyberg got there. It would take him years to fix their mess.

Yes agree the mess did start years ago and he should be given time to amend things on the boys side of things there are two coaches that have destroyed two years of development, all for the sake of a player who was never going to make it

Who would those coaches be

I reckon they could pick up Ben McDonald from Woodville pretty easy if they get that desperate. Don't think Woodville would put up that much of a fight

Two coaches?? More like two committee members destroyed junior development and development of senior teams trying to push the case for one player!

Nyberg and the Tigers are on the right track. Club unity, player numbers, committee and key coaching personnel are all (or about to be, eg. mens coach) on the right track.
