Already !!!!!

Who is going to want to coach them ????

yes it looked like they were playing without a coach. How did he get this job anyway ?

Should be plenty of coaches who'd love to have a crack. Loads of talent on that Lightning roster. The only way is up, surely.

Too many redundant pieces. And be defenders.oils to be too many players looking for their own shot and not enough passing. How Hodges who isnshooting 55% for the season isn't getting more shots is amazing.

It shows incompetence when your handing the reigns to your players to run their own training session after only half a dozen rounds as mentioned today on the call.

Another Marino yes man...next

When has there ever been one???

"Another Marino yes man"

Doesn't that go without saying? Anything but a yes man wouldn't get the gig in the first place would they?

Who in the past have been yes men?

Buckle???
Vaulk???
Dickle???

anyone who played Marino extensive minutes and deprived Lightning of a good point guard. Now you answer who.

Buckle, no.
Valk, yes.
Dickel, yes.

Suppose Tom Maher was doing the same with organising her to finish the Olympics in the top 10 in scoring.

He has lost the playing group. if he ever had them.

While Marino is there, i don't think you can ever have a "playing group". that group revolves around the one player - she owns that team

Chemistry 101

Andy Simmons is funny, and then you said Dave Ingham and I almost died laughing.

Outside the square??? What does that even mean. Just name people who have no real chance of being any good but are your mates?

Lucas obviously would be a good coach, but I will bite on the other suggestions.

Simmons has been good when he can out spend everyone at ABA level. But he wouldn't be in that position and the only time he has coached girl (at junior level) they under-performed at classics finishing outside the top 8, and played zone all year so his players developed so little they lost the final by 20.

Ingham has been let go from Brisbane, Perth and Sydney for various reasons as well as other international coaching positions. Who can tell if he really can coach. From what is being heard out of the NITP program, not many people have much positive to say about his coaching.

I don't think we'll see a Bendigo 22-2 season for a LONG time..

The players Adelaide has and their ability, yes they should be higher, but at the same time the league is incredibly even, nobody is guaranteed a win.

Most likely a chemistry issue and just needing more time together. Could be a team where if they were all together for a second season they would be much better, who knows.

Sacking Moule is most certainly NOT the right way to go about it.

David Ingham??? His only credentials is as a senior coach who has been sacked half a dozen times! Has been a junior coach for a year with no positive feedback to speak of! Why do you think Vicki quit!

281, I guess only Vicki knows why she quit, unless you'd care to enlighten us. Just rumour mongering is what you're doing.

Remember that Vicki is a championship winning coach at National level and that David has never been in that position!

As a parent of a child in NITP I would side with Vicki, she always showed passion and was extremely knowledgeable. As an outsider you would have assumed Vicki was the head coach not David!

Poor display from Adelaide tonight, Bendigo let go a bit in the third, should have won by 30+.

Don't know whats up with Adelaide, just can't seem to gel together or what.

Faris has been a big flop so far.

I hate the way the coach has them playing so well for the first half / three quarters of games, and then changes his plan and tells them to choke up and lose the plot down the stretch. He needs to stop doing that. Looking from the outside it's pretty obvious.
Maybe a specialist 4th quarter coach needs to be employed. One who can just step in and replace Moule, and tell the players "hey just do what you did in the first half and what we talked about in the pre game tactical session"
Hell even I could do that.

They were down by 22 points in the first quarter last night.

Was Bunton hurt last night? She played 2.47 minutes.

On paper they have the 3rd best post player rotation (behind Tville and Bendigo). Although everyone except Hodges hasn't played to expectations. They just get zero from their guards. It appears teams just leave Foley and Marino open.

I can't believe that Harry and cow level actually took 645 seriously. Hahaha!

I can't believe you honestly thought that anonymous wasn't just being silly when they 'claimed' that they thought you took it seriously.

Great to hear your input too Harry. It's good that you're taking an interest in basketball champ.
Keep posting and learning, you'll get there!Everybody has to start somewhere.

There have been many Lightning Coaches sacked in the past for less than this. I suppose one player must be happy with him

Happy to hear that you're learning Harry!
Your posts indicate that you still have a way to go but good luck with it!
Hang in there, you can do it.

Yeah Screen will play against Melbourne this Friday night.

SO who is getting cut then?

Would have to be Faris you would think
