Shocker!!

I can't say I am surprised. I think he has met or exceeded all objective expectations given that he started the season with the Big Sneeze, and a bunch of ABA players and returned college kids, and two highly underperforming imports. No-one in their right minds would have predicted much better results for this club, which is now on a 7-10 win streak.

I find it interesting to compare the season of the Kings with that of the Sixers.
They are almost the exact opposite of each other with the Kings clueless early but finishing very strong and the Sixers, after a respectable start, having the wheels fall completely off their little blue wagon.
Tactically, I'm not convinced Moose can coach at NBL level, but something has obviously happened within the playing group. Chemistry, belief and hunger for the contest. The Kings are a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Something the Sixers have been unable to achieve in recent seasons.

What a joke!!
Cant coach ? and the pressure is off at the end of
the season because they cant make the playoffs.
Kings have been getting a lot of love from the referees and nbl of late to help them beat some teams .The 36ers were screwed.
Smart move by Turner who loves him ( I R ) to sign him before he drops the last 3 games.
They will do poorly again next year as Robilliard is not NBL coach!
Thats good for us 36ers!!!

Congrats to Moose and a good decision by the Kings. He obviously has the respect of the players.

Give him credit..He doesn't have, IMO, the understanding of the X's and O's to the level of other pro-coaches. But he has done a maginificant job in installing belief and hustle into the Kings playing group.

And honestly, 36er fans aren't really in a position to comment...Clarke has been outcoached in most scenarios throughout the season.
A few weeks ago, Moose outcoached him by playing a zone which Clarke had no real answer for.

Anonymous is on the money. Paul you got no idea.
The players have to continue to play hard, as their is only one signed!
Turner has set it up that way to protect his boy.
From what we heard last weekend the players think he is a joke as a coach as well, but playing for a job know he is protected by Turner.
Robilliard is all smoke and mirrors and has to talk hustle and pride in the jersey because he cant read the game and doesnt know what to say.Suck Job!!
They say his trainings are a joke as well.
Turner is taking advantage of a inexperienced ownership group and he wants to keep Moose because he is a yes man to him and doesnt have the knowledge or ability to challenge him.

Just watched them against NZ & they were great. Unlucky to lose! credit where credit is due - well done Moose. Great ball movement & whole game stuffed up by bad decision at end. Dickel is not my favorite player but that was not unsporstmanlike...

do they keep gilder?

go the moose !! another win for the good guy's
shuck's......... maybe i could get a coaches gig in the nbl one day.

moose might be on the boomers coaching staff soon the way he keeps losing !!(seems to be the pre-requisite)

Gee Peter, do you even watch the games? Do you see how well the team is executing, how well they are working as a team? That's not smoke and mirrors or hustle, the coach had to take responsibility when the team was a rabble, and has to get credit for such a dramatic turnaround.

This is not a team that is just playing for contracts, this is a team that plays for each other.

I don't think Khazzouh and Madgen are playing for a contract, but the rest may well be. Still, a few of them seem to have a decent work ethic - Knight, Dann this year, Martin, and Scoines works pretty hard.

Blame the coach if they lose, but its just the players playing for a contract if they win? I don't buy that. I agree it doesn't prove Moose is an NBL level coach, but if the team are only playing well because they are playing for a contract, then the Sixers should get on to some of that. All a person can do is hope to meet/exceed expectations.

In my view, Sydney has of late deserved the extraordinary number of games they have enjoyed on One/Sky. In general, those games have been quite entertaining to watch.
