BA to unveil 2009/10 NBL logo Thursday
pigs - I believe Pat moved sideways - he is now in a role where he is developing coaches across all sports at the AIS. A big role overseeing all aspects of the Elite pathways instead of Pat's old role which focused on the ITC program nationally.
Don't know about ABA or SEABL except to observe previously identified athletes. I suspect a fair bit of time liaising with our elites who are based OS (which is the majority of our Olympics teams).
Good gig to get though - wonder how much of the $300K Carroll will be getting?

I was going to say Isaac, I think he will have a big job to do...the dood will be at a lot of championship's, junior and senior, plus a heap of aba, seabl, and what ever else comp's are around..
Did Pat Hunt retire? or will this job run in conjunction with him?

There is nothing wrong with Jason Smith's calibre

The title "General Manager of High Performance" reminds me of the award Homer Simpson won...
The Award for Outstsanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
It doesn't mean anything...
Its actually code for "Government Funding' because that's what all the other 'reformed' sports bodies call their development guys - never mind that basketball probably has had as successful a program as any of them over the past ten years!!

Anybody else heard former Australian Boomer and Coburg/North Melbourne Giant Wayne Carroll will be appointed as High Performance Manager?

But by doing this, they are gaining much needed exposure, sometimes it's not about the product, but the amount of exposure they can get to it.
Keep the NBL in the media, generate interest, get people talking, and not just the same people talking, who knows, it might even get a few new fans to the game...
Hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks they can announce a naming rights sponsor...
I'd be trying to tap Crazy John's now that they have nothing with the Dragons, only downside is the part owner being involved with the team...

Lets hope this entire thing looks and feels more professional than what they been offering up over the past few years. Do they realise that they don't have to use a font straight from MS Word ... they can design something slightly nicer?!

Thursday? It all makes sense now.
The new symbol will be the Autobot symbol - it's being timed to coincide with the opening of 'Revenge of the Fallen'.
"NBL 09/10 - Transform and Roll-out"
Best naming rights sponsor EVER.
