Where is Bruton going?

Maybe Sixers couldn't afford paying out another coach so kept Pearlman.
Half joking about that, but if they said to CJ that he can't hire his own staff and he's said ok, it's safe to say rumours of a yes man are true.

There is an opportunity for CJ to get top position, sometimes you got take what's available and make it work. Hopefully him and Pearlman can work together. Sixers probably spending more money on coaches not working for them than working for them.

A load of front office staff have also walked out the door. Apparently new CEO not too popular

You joined just to post that? Not worth the effort man.

Yep, Brett Ninnis and Scott Maher

I heard Jamie Petty has been recruited after he was presumably runner up for NBL1 COTY

The addition of Petty and Alexander is embarassing and further proof this is not a club looking to succeed.

Who is Alexander? You mean Alex Wright?

Jimmy Alexander

Is this serious or a great trolling effort???

The Sixers Coaching Panel is CJ, Pearlman, Ninnis, Petty, Alexander.

Can someone tell me about this Alexander. Is he an interstate NBL1 coach? I haven't heard of him coaching over here?

West Adelaide co-coaching coordinator. Coaching their 16 girls this year. Has previously coached at woodville and southern. State assistant also.

I assume he's available and cheap. Like Petty.

Cheap and available means he is a volunteer and he approached them. Most entry level positions are voluntary

Yes it's a freebie. It hurts when you are paying existing coaches not coaching a bundle. JVG you have done it again.

Volunteer jobs for those with the time.

Fair enough - I assume those two are the best coaches floating around the state?

That's the issue really, they're not. Not at all. Sixers should be approaching the best rather than taking whatever walks in the door.

So respected you got the wrong person.

And Jamie has zero respect post NBL1 2021.

Nice try.

Did the Sixers even advertise for the roles Petty and Jimmy are doing?

The reality is the NBL train during normal work hours for people. So entry level positions for coaches generally go to people with flexible schedules, no family commitments, and people willing to do all the little tasks just to get a foot in the door.
It's not for everyone

Correct. But they still didn't advertise.

People are interested in these roles, weird they just picked a couple of guys. One at that who has drastically under performed at multiple roles.

There was no money in it, a few were approached, but who works for nothing.

Sixers staff back to defend the indefensible on hoops. It's like clockwork.

Plenty of local guys who have move runs on the board would jump at an opportunity to get their foot in the door.

Once again weird they didn't advertise or cast a wider net.

Again, it's nothing to do with being the best
Most of the best coaches getting around are too busy to take on a volunteer role like this.
You end up getting whoever has the time, hence these appointments.

Also Anon...wtf are you talking about? Nigel?

The net was cast widely. If you think it wasn't you are wrong.

Lies, lies and more lies.

As posted many more credentialed people, who were never approached.

Maybe you think asking 5 or 6 nobodies is casting the net wide. It aint.

They wanted plebs and got them. (Petty being involved in anything coaching related in 2022 is embarassing.) When instead they could have approached actual up and coming coaches.

Spoelstra neither of these guys will be. Yet a professional Club would be looking for local guys with that level of potential. (relatively speaking)

As I said earlier I know of one very credentialed coach who was approached. For family reasons he declined.

without naming them we have no reason to either believe you or believe they are very credentialed.

Also there's a balance between being credentialed and being suitable. No point approaching Phil Smyth for the role for example and then saying well we tried.

The gig paid no dollars, some good coaches were approached but declined due to it being a freebie.

"No NBL club is going to have 4 paid coaches. There just isn't the money. At best clubs will have a head coach and one good assistant." Don't tell the Jack Jumpers that ;)

Or Perth, United, SEM, Sydney

Truth is on the money

These roles are like work experience, just like high school kids do. Watching and learning.

In Joey's day they had 2 paid assistants, kb and Tracey, then kb and Golley. Assuming having to pay out previous coaches, financially it's come down to one.
As said before (Alexander) at least has potential, no matter how people feel about him. Bringing in Petty is an embarrassment based on what he's done. Is he still with SA Country? If so it sounds like he's robbing them even more to play pretend coach again.
Even if the jobs don't pay any money, at least advertise. No way is it a full time role, some candidates may have looked at reducing their work hours for the opportunity, or even had a gap year.
I am hating the organisation, if you can even put organised in the sentence, more with each coming day and announcement.

And if Nigel Alexander had got a run, that would be cherry. He's somehow resurfaced at Centrals as their 16 1s boys coach.

Ninnis as 2nd Assistant is being paid.

The other two paid or otherwise cost the club money.

Jimmy has been bugging them for a long time for this kind of thing. Looks like they caved and gave him a gig. Good luck to the guy, but I am certain he will not be making any game changing decisions ha. As a fan I have no concern about some random guy/s volunteering to help out.

Wonder if some of the more successful NBL1 coaches were asked? Seems like there might be others more qualified is all.

Good luck to them though, at least one is. Promising young coach. The other had 3 years and seemingly got worse.

Jimmy makes sense.

The less said about the other appointment the better. Time to find another sport/career.

JP is still employed by country basketball but just doesn't travel to the country? Go figure

Sounds like the best thing for the country kids tbh.

Thanks for your insight Sixers management. Take a read, no one agrees.

Great, the idiot that uses multiple full stops is back!
