yes please

Jesus, just about got run over by that bandwagon.

Hi Bevo.

Wow really? Are you all "Heat" fans too? Love it when tomes are high and want a coach booted the second there is a crap one or 2 games? Lets talk about Beal and his selfishness, better this year but last year sucked big time. Yes he made big time shots but he also took half court (nearly) shots 5 seconds into the shot clock. Thats got nothing to do with coaching.
Theres a lot more on Gleesons shoulders than a few minutes here and there.
He will turn it around, EVERY team this year is a contender.
Its no longer Wildcats Basketball League, its finally an even playing field and far better basketball to watch.
From a DIEHARD, yes DIEHARD Wildcats fan.

Problem is that you need to sack him BEFORE we lose games, then hire him back for the ones he wins.

Why would you sack the 2011 NBL COTY?

Why would you sack the 2014 Champiinship Coach?

90s style suits his squad, just because every tom /dick/harry are running so much on ball /motion boring crap doesn't mean it suits every squad.
need at least an average outside game consistently to play your today style and perth don't have it.
theres at least 3 guys in the perth squad really struggling but I would not be writing them off at all

I think Gleeson's coaching is generally pretty good (though I do wonder what a coach like Gordie could do at Perth!)

As an aside, its sad that a player like Gordie isn't a HC in this league. One of the best, if not the best coach in Australia, and he is an AC. Not sure if he preferred to be an AC over a HC, but it breaks my heart.

Gleeson just doesn't have that very fine detail knowledge - it's only little things, but it has a habit of snowballing into bigger things. Sometimes they get away with it because the other team can't exploit it. But good teams/smart teams/well coached teams can find out a way - ala Crocs. The screen defense on Jett was a totally bad scout (give him the three) - result: he was able to get in the seams and getting buckets at a very efficient clip or dishing to big men under the basket or kicking to shooters.

I really doubt he will be sacked mid-season but I can't see his contract being renewed at the end of this one. Its funny, we sit second on the ladder and we are wanting the coach gone (not that I disagree with that) but the expectations are a bit high sometimes.

Gleeson couldn't coach a hooker to an orgasm! Redhage is past his prime, Hire is never going to be a star - serviceable but never going to be a double double type guy, Wagstaff has one or two good games are year which are generally overshadowed by five or six cheap shots every month which are more times than not followed by the 'what did I do' face he does oh so well, Cats fans are too busy comparing EVERY import since Ennis, to Ennis. He IS NEVER coming back people of WA, get. over. it. Jervis should be like every other decent WA product and look elsewhere to flourish - case and point Garlepp, Gliddon, Loughton, Worthington, DJ... should I go on!?

Yes, actually I'd like you to go on.
You seem to be saying that the Wildcats success has come in spite of having shit players, which would sort of contradict statement about Gleeson if it actually made sense. (I wouldn't imagine that orgasms are a big requirement for hookers)

So, our players are shit, yet we're 2nd on the ladder...
Yeah, time to sack the coach.

I'll admit that at times I get frustrated when Gleeson doesn't respond in the way I'd like him to, but I think he plays the percentages, and ultimately those are the coaches that win rings.
Take Beal the other night. He is the best, most reliable player on the team, and so often the go-to guy, yet he's having a shit night. It's a tough call when to bench your star, and when to rely on him to come good.

Lol. 2011 COTY, 2014 Championship, 5 years of playoff appearances for Townsville, current Boomers assistant and soon to be Olympic Coach. Yah, good one, time to sack him. WTF is this poster smoking? I really respect that he doesn't kiss everyone's ass on social media like Bevo does. He just goes about his business and ask any of his players, they love playing for him.

Gleeson won the title in 2014 by having James Ennis and telling the team to run whatever Bevo was running.

Pretty sure anyone on earth could do both of those things.

Gleeson as Boomers HC? Oh my god, that'd just be a huge catastrophe.

Well, the new international schedule means it's impossible to be the national head coach while also coaching an NBL team, so I can think of one positive that would come out of it...

He's Boomers assistant, any bball fan in Australia should certainly know that. And koberrulz you cannot be serious. Gleeson recruited 2 new imports including Ennis that Bevo never would've found and if they were running his plays then he should've won the previous years. I can assure you his players prefer Gleeson.

Ennis was signed before Gleeson

I enjoyed the 'running his plays' bit. Are you giving Gleeson credit for the Flex offence? Trevor does a number of things really well as a coach, but being an offensive genius isn't one of them.

I just struggle to understand why some people on these forums seem to complain or create 'sack Gleeson' posts every other week when all you have to do is site his record to see he's obviously a good coach. And he's proven that he can win or come close both in Perth and with undermanned teams in Townsville. I think part of it is that he doesn't make the effort to connect with fans via social media whereas Bevo posts when he farts and can't get enough attention for himself. I wonder sometimes if it's Bevo that actually posts some of the hate in an attempt to get his old job back. Better yet, it's probably his wife who always comments on the Cats page.

Lay off Bevo, you've got your own team to worry about. Lol at 'I'm an insider'.

Ps players don't hire or fire coaches FYI.

I don't claim to be an insider but I do know a few of the players and have had a beer with them. I remember asking them if they liked Gleeson last year and was told they appreciated that they're not in each other's back pockets outside of work. With Bevo, they were expected to socialise outside work all the time and Gleeson keeps work and home seperate. I got the impression they liked him.

In my opinion, he's done a good job. Grand Final winner year one, playoffs last year with only 5 healthy players left, and sitting 2nd on the ladder so far with Damo, Nate, and Prather all having been injured. Yes we've lost a couple we probably should've won but that happens to every team and every coach. Any other coach and the fans would be very pleased. I don't really care who likes him but those results speak for themselves. I would say Fearne is the one this year that's underperforming, not Gleeson.

Think Gleeson goes good but wouldn't call him great. Only underperformed in Melbourne and hasn't missed the playoffs apart from that. Would take him over every coach outside of Bevo or Joey.

I'm pretty sure the "insider" comments were two different people.

Gleeson won't be sacked mid-season but I highly doubt his contract will be renewed at the end of the season.
