Went to rockets games last season, it's definitely not harmonious, players losing it, having hissy fits, it was kind of embarrassing ... maybe that's due to what your saying BBaller123? I haven't been back this year to be honest.

I've been to a few games this season and last season. I’ll play devils advocate on this. Like the old saying goes, "nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems". The drama is no different to any other team that goes through a rough patch. It’ll turn around with a few wins strung together

Not many years back they were thriving, boys were dominating (sorry, can't remember girls results) and both senior teams were in finals.
Then they brought in a coaching director that decided to shuffle the coaches so they could assemble a dream team panel. They got rid of the 16s boys coach who had amazing success and brought in rent a coach to take over the all star 18s. That same coaching director made all these whiz bang changes, but as usual failed before he took off for greener pastures. As a result players left on mass as well as coaches, Forestville being the major winner going from terrible on the boys side to suddenly winning. And that all star 18s went from unbeatable to runners up, dropped a kid for a player they poached only for him to drop out because of the new coach in finals.
Then after the departure of Hawkes they bring in Dean who'd basically bankrupted Southern. Took a miracle play against Southern in finals to progress after just squeaking into the top 5. Heard they didn't want to spend big again so Dean heads off and they bring in Rojo. Guy knows his Xs and O's but really isn't a great coach and his behaviour on the sidelines throughout his career has been disgusting. Don't know much about the new coach but sounds like he's following in the same vein, have a couple of mediocre imports and at this stage those juniors they had coming through should have been progressing into the senior team.
It did look so promising just a few years ago but just shows what happens when you bring in people more worried about their resume and fixing up their mates that it sets back the program years.
Yet those same gurus still somehow hang around, that CD is the biggest snake oil salesmen I've ever seen. Still remember him selling curriculums to half the clubs for good money only for them to be abandoned nearly immediately. This comment will probably be removed because he's back in town trying to make a buck for yet another camp that is purely a money making exercise. For all his accolades he never seems to be in the conversation for NBL gigs, funny about that.
