Terrible decision, wtf

Did he achieve and coaching accolades before getting to to Perth?

The future Dave Atkins

#762

Did Gleeson?

And don't sell me the "look at his success with the Wildcats" BS! He inherited that team.

And he still coached them to five titles. You don't do that unless you're a good coach, no matter how good the team is.

Good appointment. Has American connections as well as a good knowledge of the NBL and how it is played.
Will hopefully be able to attract a quality marquee player and good imports.

Congratulations Anthony Stewart.....Oh wait.....sorry

The league keeps poaching current and former Wildcats coaches. And yet Gleeson can never seem to win Coach of the year....

Got talked up by wildcats players, this is a good appointment. I can see Stewart being the assistant for the haters of him.

Neilsen moves on to be a head coach of a G League team, and Forde and Roth move on to become head coaches of NBL teams. Not only does Gleeson get the best out of his players, he also develops his assistants so they can move on to bigger and better things.

It's only the flogs that bag Gleeson, I hoping like hell he doesn’t get the three peat, but his coaching record is second to none in nbl, equaled only by Georgian.

Don't forget the Taipans poaching OLoughlin, the towel guy and I think their sports psych too.

lolz WTF

If Weaver stayed Forde would still be an ass coach. Stop drinking the coolaide

Coached g league in America and was assistant at a couple nba clubs good resume

Good luck to him. As all coaches know, the clock starts ticking from now.

"equaled only by Georgian." WOW..

If weaver stayed Forde would of been the Tasmanian coach.
Gleeson can not claim any of those guys, especially Forde who started out with Bevo.

O'Loughlin was sacked by the Wildcats. Not poached. Big difference

Of course he can claim them. They've all developed into head coaches under his tutelage.

Or you could ask them next time you see them.
Im confident on a few of there answers

Was Mark Price given any consideration?

Perfect 'big name' to head up an expansion team. He's an NBA All Star so you know he's gonna be no joke when it comes to coaching. What could go wrong?

Heard only good things and as a local, let's get on with it!

I said it ages ago. The JJ's should be aiming for a finals spot. No one agreed with me then. Listen to what the new head Coach says.

Phoenix aimed as well, very hard on year one team.

Is having a local presence as part of coaching staff that important to locals, not only just in Tassies case. Local players definitely give the community something to be proud about, but you'd want the best coaching staff no matter where they're from.

The astute Coach Roth pointed out that the Phoenix lost 17 of their last 19 games. No one here ever pointed that out to my knowledge. With the cattle they didn't have and probably don't have this season they will probably be cellar dwellers again. Cya Simon. Roth faces the same challenge.
Unless Roth invests in getting to know the community and engages immediately that is more important IMO than the locals playing. Stewie I would guess has enough on his plate to not get involved. Successful in private enterprise and equally successful with the Chargers.
Roth needs to pick his assistants carefully and I know of no one locally that is worthy of replacing Stewart.

Stewart will be an assistant if he's available. He is Mr basketball Tasmania.

We get it. A lot of Stewart fanboys here.

So what was your point above?

Of course it will be. If he is as connected as he supposedly is they should secure the best imports and NS of all the NBL teams.

Tasmania Jackjumpers

Roth
Stewart
AC?

Dellavedova/Gibson(obvious choices)
(i)/Antonio/Hadley(college kids)
(i)/Grida(leaves Hawks)
Kay/Moller(Kyei new backup Sydney behind cooks)
(i)/Ogilvy(will be cut to make way for Mathiang imo)

Handy is a skills coach and excellent at that. As to his actual coaching a team, that's a question mark. And why would he leave an excellent position to go to Tasmania?

I love how people keep fantasizing about Dellavedova, Kay and Antonio in each team unless it is the same anon.

Handy wasn't interviewed

Go to the Wildcats website Scout. His full resume is there and far better than what The mercury wrote re his CV.

Paul Woopert, hahahaha

"Handy wasn't interviewed"

His family situation meant he had to withdraw from the process. After that the JJs asked for expressions of interest.

Ok.

RIP Paul Westphal .

"Bit of inside knowledge #298!"
No it was relatively common knowledge and I for one wasn't going to mention it.

But you did mention it...

Sorry, my response was meant to be for #344

The reasons he withdrew have never been mentioned here.

Yep as I said the reason hasn't been mentioned.

So stop alluding to it then. No one cares that you think you know.

Caporn was mentioned a bit but for numerous jobs but it's either BS or he misses out.

Stop the harassment who ever you are. No one cares what yet another anonymous thinks. Perhaps use your real nick.

Dazz shit your hole.
