Too scared of JackJumpers. Quitting NBL.

Trev had the chance to move on to Asia a couple years ago but with his Wife's cancer battles and young kids said he wasn't interested in moving on so while possible I would be very surprised if he's moving on. Maybe just announcing the sale of the team if NBL have signed off on it. OR Bryce is a local now........

What time?

Probably just Kevin White signing.

Too scared of JackJumpers. Quitting NBL.

I've heard from some reliable sources that it will be something like:

Brett Brown - Coach

Russell Westbrook / Norton
Cotton / Import
Next Star / Lebron James
Jesse Wagstaff / Travers
Thon Maker / Majok Majok

or something along those lines

Westbrook off the bench though.

Gleeson officially departing to take up an opportunity in the NBA.

Indiana?

Matt Neilson is next in line. Book it.

Congratulations to Gleeson. A quality coach, who will definitely be missed in the NBL

As long it's not Gaze or Joey Wright

I'm surprised by this the talk had been that he had decided to stay at the Wildcats but I guess an NBA opportunity is too good an offer to turn down.

Maybe he swaps places with Nielsen and becomes coach of the Spurs G-League team? lol

Cotton's under contract for another two years. If the supposed clause is true that he can leave his contract if there is a coaching change do you seriously expect him to do so?

No chance Cotton walks out on his deal.

Toronto, as I said earlier, head assistant coach I was told, just didn't believe it.

He coached Indys summer league team a few seasons ago and was being hunted. I guess all those times knocking it back just got them to up their offer to where he couldn't say no anymore.

I don't know if theres any head coaching spots open in NBA but maybe an associate head coach position? would he leave for a G League gig?

Sergio Scariolo has left the Raptors so it makes sense Gleeson replaces him as the "international" assistant.

The NBL refs just breathed a collective sigh of relief...

Be interesting to see who the Wildcats will get. A lot of coaches have departed this season.

But who are we going to hate now in the hoops forums?

Trev leaving has nothing to do with the new hierarchy in place. If he got the same offer under the previous ownership he still would have left the Cats. It's a huge gig to be an NBA assistant coach under Nick Nurse

Actually interested to see what calibre coach the Wildcats bring in. I don't see them going for a Bevo type signing, I think they'll aim for an experienced international coach.

Mixed emotions...
Genuinely thankful to, and happy for Trev. Has given us a lot, and genuinely deserves this opportunity.

But at the same time a bit scared as to who we're going to recruit to replace him.

Be interesting to see what level the Assistant role is. Obviously you can't knock back an NBA opportunity, but I also doubt that he's been head-hunted to be the video-coordinator and coffee-gopher.

And where do people get this shit about Cotton?

Cotton stayed in Perth because his spouse and child are from Perth, and because Perth were prepared to pay him decent money. Maybe not quite what he might have gotten elsewhere, but certainly top-dollar for the NBL. I'm sure that deal's still in place. Doesn't necessarily mean he's here forever, but I imagine he'd be reluctant to move his family during Covid, unless it was for significantly more.

Congrats Trev, you annoyed the shit out of some people, you brought the best out of players, and you did it all for championships, 5 in total. Hopefully your NBA career is a long one!
