Seamus returns fire at Rucker
The other day, outgoing Kings exec Derek Rucker said that the NBL in Sydney was dead.
One of the league's big players, Tigers owner Seamus McPeake, has stepped up to defend the league, trashing Rucker's executive skills.
"No one cares here in Sydney," Rucker told Brisbane's Sunday Mail.
"It's dead. You get 2500 people to a game. It's fairly sad."
Seamus responded.
"Most of the clubs are doing OK and the league is alive everywhere except Sydney," McPeake said.Read more in the Herald Sun
"That's probably because Derek Rucker sat on his bum and did nothing.
"He's taken a lot out of the league and put nothing back and then makes comments like that.
"Here's some advice: never put an ex-player in to run a club because they don't know how to do it."
(Aside, and apologies to Seamus: Did Yoda ever face off with Jabba the Hutt in the Stars Wars films?)
