We already knew that. Not exactly breaking news.

Talking about Sydney's 4 imports yet he didn’t want a NS.

They do have four imports. He also preceded that comments with four minutes of saying how his team had too many passengers, and only two players on the team could be happy with the way they played. yeah, so salty.

Good example of why coaches don't need to be allowed to speak to the refs during games.
Coaches have way too much input during games.
Don't need to chat to (bully, intimidate) the refs.
Don't need time outs. Majority of the squad is on the bench with them. Players on court only a few metres away. Folks pay to watch the players, not the fricking coaches interrupt the action and shoot their mouths off.
They have the pre game, and quarter breaks to give group instructions.
Game would be better with less chatter and more on court action.

Very good coach but is winner and hates losing. Whinges yes though which is unbecoming.

It is whinging when you end your press conference complaining about how loaded the other team is. Maybe when the camera goes into your huddle during the game you dont stare at your whiteboard for 10 seconds thinking about what you need to do without saying a word! Bend over and take the loss like a man and move on, not place the blame on something else that tries to make you look like a victim.

He is right though. Sydney had a rule changed to allow them Didi. How would all of you feel if it was Perth who just had a "fourth Import" drop that game??

Kings had 4 imports contributing for their team, while Perth only had 1 contributing. No fair!!!

One of those imports had 0 points, 0 assists and 0 rebounds in 15mins
Sydney are going to be crazy when Lisch comes back and Taylor gets his crap together.
Assuming full health, no one will come near them by end of season.

Not the first or the last time Gleeson has done this - although it could get worse now with all the decent assistants leaving and even the rehashed one gone who was the replacement.

Perthworld not a Perth fan.
Taylor gone when Lisch is back so Sydney will only have 3 imports.




Winning with four imports means nothing as one is a next star player.

An asterisked next stars player, considering they have already been drafted, just like so many "imports" who have come to the NBL in the past. Facts are facts.

Tate
Taylor
Ware
Ns - louzada, someone entering draft following year or hadn't played pro, nba draft stash. Pretty simple.
Same as nz and se m.
Unfortunately nz has hopson Injured, so too obekpa our early.
Phoenix chose sucky imports they barely use bar Roberson.

According to realgm he has been playing pro since 2016-2017, and he was drafted, so how does he qualify?

You do know Perth were offered these same next star players but passed on all of them right?! You guys act like Sydney cheated, but the NBL presenter Didi to all the clubs. Perth passed. Your loss


I'm not saying Sydney cheated. I'm saying it's a bad rule.

I'm saying it's a bad rule. Made by the NBL. So be it.

Actually the nbl adjusted the rule to allow didi who was a pro to come,thereby implying it was done with Sydney before anyone knew he would qualify. Secondly they probably can't pay him the going rate of he wasn't a next star.

I am certainly not a fan of TG but calling him out as a "salty whinger" over a comment at the end of a presser is a bit much. The other 99% was about how he only had 2 contributors and the rest of HIS team need to look at themselves.
