Goorjan's scorecard so far - last tournament

Australia finishing 4th out of 6 teams isn't a great result at recent tournament.

Goorj continues to blame roster. I have to say i have a gripe how he continues to run teams. Sure you have to go to your bench but i think he overdoes it. He even said that Australia slid in the third quarter when the bench went on. Look, why go to a weak bench so much. Sure, he says we are building and these guys need the court time, but at the expense of wins. If guys are hot and scoring don't take them off, leave them on. I think other teams do this better, and leave their stars on court longer. Goorjan goes too far with his team ethos thing.

What do other people think?

He went to the bench for them to get playing time. So if they go crap then he wont play them against NZ we hope.

The teams that beat us arn't that bad. Serbia, Italy and Coatia. All basketball powerhouses with Solid Leagues.

Pill Smyth didnt have the luxury of blaming a poor bench, did he?

No Smyth didn't, but he did chose to put Mark Nash on it.
