Phil's 700th Match

Was just on the NBL site and noticed that Smyth will be involved in his 700th NBL match as a player or coach: 356 played 344 coached.

Personally, I find it amazing that the 700 is spread so evenly between playing and coaching. For example, Goorjian is on 691, but that only includes 24 matches played.

He will become the second person ever to achiveve this milestone behind Alan Black who will achieve it remarkably only a few days earlier in the Carins v West Sydney game tonight.

Anyone here game enough to think that this was taken into consideration in regards to Smyth's coaching future?

Hopefully, the Sixers organisation make note of the achievevement before the game and it can be used as even more motivation for the boys to get a W.

Regardless, congratulations to Phil!!!

You guys that are Smyth haters must be having a great time of it at last after such a great career as a coach and a player finally a chance to knock him.Gee you must feel good you people seriously suffer the tall poppy syndrome just wondering which other coaches other than Gorj and Smyth have 3 championships in 10 seasons oops none.Lets get rid of Smyth cos things arent good for the team you people are pathetic.Well done Phil we are supporting you and know things will turn around.I guess all the players who voted you the coach they most wanted to play for are idots as well oops thats most players in the league.However the tools on here who have never played or coached at any high level would know best or would they have no idea at all i suspect the later.
