A good conference to a terrrible conference.
A crap location to a nice location.
Big West is ok. Chance to recruit more Aussies and get to the tournament via conference playoffs.
JR will turn it to gold!

John Rillie is our man, hero of our nation.
Anyone remember his shooting challenge to Steve Nash? I think that one will be a lifelong ignore.

Nash probably doesn't know who Rillie is. This clown also thought he was a better shooter than Reggie Miller.
Good luck to JR for the future. Hope it works out for him.
Climbing the ladder, good luck, one if the hardest workers out there, will leave no stone unturned.
Yeah I like the moves he has made and is making Stateside. Even though the US system has opened up to Aus most local coaches continue to toil here. Over there the market is bigger and sure you have to work harder at the beginning but the rewards later can be unbelievable.
