Good Luck Al,a great sixer icon of yesteryear.

Will be interesting to see how many Torrens Valley players (eg Vucetic) make the trip across town with him.

Umm, if any Torrens Valley players make the trip the Warriors will struggle. I think Al may be looking elsewhere for recruits.

Has Victor Gold been appointed assistant?

Then it would be the Green and Gold show at Woodville

it's good to be on the Green team

The Mean Green Dream Team

why are we guessing it cost big money to get Al, he is coaching the ABL men, the u/23 men and is coordinating the juniors.

take all three salaries and roll them into one.

clubs do this all the time to pay the head mens coach more. not a new thing.

Has he sold his interest in torrens valley ? Otherwise its a bit of a conflict of interest, isn't it ?

Women's coach appointed last year - the club was happy to appoint the coach. Sure numeration in accordance with CV was mutually agreed to.

Through due process club appoint Green to Men's Program. Nothing to do with priority - maybe more to do with opportunity.

End of day clubs appoint best candidates - so have higher profile eg Alan Green Chris Lucas Brad Davidson - others are building profile.

conflict of interest is nothing that affects basketball - consider a coach president at 2 different clubs coach / parent of kids at other clubs - happens all the time get over it

Think might find the Women's was annoited rather than appointed. Allowing smooth transition from Assistant to Coach and maintain growth of juniors.

Think you'll find the gossip/rumour mongers are more closer to home than you think. Only ever seems to be Woodville supporters posting complaints.

if the under 23s coach is the abl assistant or the head coach then they all get paid

No real change in process here.

The only reason everyone is making comments on the warriors is that they were last to finalise a coach and then when they did they did it with a high profile basketball identity . If it wasn't al green there would be no hype.



If it

Congratulations to Al Green and Karen Winter - looking forward to a winter of green and gold

re: Al Green to Coach Woodville! Strange things happen all the time; eg North coach helping with 36ers happens to get a West player in 36 development squad out to North as well as a player from Southern also trialled with 36ers out there if rumors are correct. Coach of U23's also coaches girls at West.

No-one seems to have a go at this "recruiting" to supplement a spiralling out of control junior development


Sounds like someone needs to get thier facts right before making any comments

The said Coach had nothing with the west player moving nor did the coach of the u/23s and as for the Southern player is now living in the northen suburbs and want to play with some mates at North, Instead of writing crap ask the guys yourself and you will find out....

a/ I can't believe Woodville left Lynne at the helm for so long when they sat at the bottom of the ladder the entire time;
b/ The amount of really good players they lost over the years as a direct result of Lynne was phenomenal;
c/ After FINALLY getting rid of her, they go and appoint someone with very little experience and someone who I can't see will ever get results.
d/ Woodville will continue with their current mediocre performances until they have a clear-out of their committee;
e/ That will never happen.

All you people taking shots at Karen Winter's perceived lack of credibility, should remember that EVERYBODY was a rookie at the start.

Standard sets for Warriors womens team are those standard Warriors Committee want obviously. They appointed the coaches.Who do you think appoints coaches -?? Same as every club does ? Give suggestion how it should be different. Clubs always act in best interest - but easy to be critical.

goodluck to Karen and Al for the coming season... Hope you prove all those idiots out there wrong.

I don't think it was in anyone's best interest for Lyn to remain coach for as long as she did and essentially the committee must take collective blame for standing still.
That said, after a decade of one coach with no success they opt for one of the girls as coach which is ridiculous. As for the committee I think both lyn and karen are on the committee/s and there's the issue.

From my understanding, Karen is due to give birth at the beginning of the season and Lyn will take over. Therefore nothing has really changed. Just let it go.

women 2 wins

men 6-7

this would be classed as a good season.

great news then there is now way Lyn will coach a single game.

Well it seems that both clubs are getting together, so i'm sure there was also a few financial benefits for Woodville to take Al on as coach.
Just saw this on Facebook...Woodville Warriors/ Torrens Valley New Era Launch Party
Come and join the party to celebrate the new era of the Woodville Warriors and Torrens Valley Cougars becoming 1 club!

Next seson Woodville will announce a new direction in Womens senior coaches. A new person will be at the helm for season 2012.

strangest of all the management gave into LH to keep her - never anything about men priority Women were happy with LH simple end of story
