Not a great advertisment for the game.....surely they should just deport him!

Great player in his day, thats about it.

Not the way the Wildcats were hoping to get the front page of today's West Australian.

As a friend of Tiny I feel for him, he has changed his life. he had known for about 12months that a WA police officer was fighting hard to have the enforced. (i wonder about this police officer)

well i guess Tiny has to do this time, but i have heard stories of girls waiting out front of the team hotel when he was playing in NSW and waiting for him trying to entice him.

he has a young family in sydney and he changed his life its just a shame this happened 17/18yrs ago and now his heading to Jail again for this act that almost happened a life time ago.

Yes Jason, what a travesty it is that he raped young girls and has to serve the time in prison.

Do the crime, do the time.
Surely the Australian Penal System has a demand for guys called "Tiny"

Why did it take 17 years for the WA police to enforce his parole breach?

Comeandsee did you know the first person when he was charged in perth he picked up in a perth night club?
so she lied to get into the club and he was only charged after her parents found out she had slept with him.
as for the 15yr in wollongong well hey nothing i can say because i don't know the story behind that
I do believe he should have done time..... but in the 90's
for those who dont know what WA stands for, it stands for Wait Awhile... true in this case

He has a history of this with his first conviction in 1976 aged 20 back in the U.S

Oh good, this topic was just made for Anons.

At least man up and put your details up. Shame on me because I stand up for someone. I never said he shouldn't be punished. But your just trolling mate.

^^ I would agree! Until we delete anon people commenting and all people must submit there details choose the topic's carefully.
You have allowed people to slander someone with out knowing the details with zero knowledge of the name of the person throwing mud.

I would prefer to remember him for the great player(pardon the pun) he was in the glory days of this league. He was always my favourite as a kid growing up. Wont forget his showmanship, tomahawk dunks and rainbow jumpers. Was devastated when he went to prison in 92 but he deserved it. Its a shame that its come back to haunt him now so long after restoring his life

Do you have daughter/s Jason. I am prepared to go out on a limb here and suggest you dont.

@ Mystro - just wondering buddy what your memories of Tiny Pinder are?

Were you able to see his games in NZ and see him playing for the Wildcats or did you not get our NBL until Breakers came into the league?

Happy to be corrected on this but the 1st time he got into trouble was after picking up a girl in a nightclub who consented but was later to be proven to be under age. It was then that the trouble started. Parents and police pushed very hard for conviction. His defence was that she was in a nightclub so assumed she was 18+

As i said happy to be corrected if i am wrong

I have known tiny for a long long while, This is disgraceful,
But on the defence for tiny, there were so many girls that just wanted to hang off him...

The girls wanted him!!

Now there trying to make money off him...

Its not always the mand fault!!
