Is Jan Stirling about to be sacked as Opals coach?
Even mre ludicrous is this from same article:
QUOTE:
"Goorjian also missed the Boomers job after 2000 but took over after Phil Smyth coached the Boomers to a loss in the Oceania championship in 2001, costing them a spot at the 2002 world titles.
Although ninth was Australia's worst result since the 1972 Olympics, Goorjian was seen to have put foundations in place after starting from a lower base in a more competitive section - and there was no challenger regarded as highly as him."
puhlease!

"Those close to the team were aware that there was conflict between Stirling and Australia's champion player, Lauren Jackson, in China, but two years on, in Athens, players and coach appeared to be in harmony.
Now, the reports are that Jackson, Penny Taylor, the team's other young international star, and some senior players would prefer that the driven Stirling be replaced, which could trigger a public relations nightmare."

Maybe Carrie Graf will have that inside edge over the US in Bejing being a WNBA head coach, ever thought of that?
