Mike Chappell - Can he turn it around?

Ice, I don't think the decision on Chappell is going to be entirely on Phil. I would say Hemmerling will be keeping a close eye on how thing develop and will step in if necessary.

His second game was alot better then the first. He did a nice couple of drived baseline and finished one of them off nicely. the bit i noticed that was a massive improvenemt was he was actually battling down low where he couldnt in game 1. If he continues to improve week to week its all good in my opinion, we just gotta hope they can win a couple without him. You have to remember mottram has been around even less so they esentially have 2 new players not 100% fit so its going to be a struggle for a couple of weeks. Chappell has what it takes his posture is better from game 1 so heres hoping...
The thing is this, if he hit 3 or so of the 3's he put up in game 2 no one would be saying anything. Its just the entire team got pumped by a well oiled outfit and it made everyone look very poor. an obviously an import with a sore back is put under the spotlight.
lay off him until they get there grove back.

I am also in favour of giving him another few weeks (4 max). If he does not become the import we need by that time, he needs to be replaced. As a person, Chappell is probably one of the most wonderful people you could meet, but reality is that an import in the NBL is expected to be a quality player who adds much value to the team. Being a great player of the past is not going to help his team today.
