Will we better off with no SASI?

Agreed

Liesallies,
Thanks for the bite I was looking for. You're either a part of SASI, or a 5 m shark from Port Lincoln.

Nevertheless, the forum question was "Will we be better off with no SASI?" There was an assumption SASI was on the ropes.

I believe this is the wrong question to ask. Let's face it, what else would they do with the old Kidman Park High School site? Return it to market gardens?

With anything like this, people have different expectations. The scope is to produce athletes for state teams? There are many ways to do this.

So, I repeat "how can we make SASI more effective?"

Oh, and yes, SASI don't dictate plays, but players bring them back to the clubs, and the olde 3 pass play against a lazy D team gives 2 points everytime.

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't fully understand SASI, the scholarships, how kids try out, who gets selected, what nights it own, who you have to suck up to to get involved etc.

Whenever we play teams chocablock with SASI players there tends to be a lot of awe from the kids and they say "we're going to lose tonight, those kids go to SASI" A lot of the time, those teams are so predictable in their plays you can pick it like a nose.

For example, there's a standard in bounds play that gets the ball down to the key in 2-3 running passes. The plays always seem to rely on having a player on the weak side and really the plays work well on teams with lazy defence.

Defensively, the plays seem to always have an element of double teaming in the back court to set up a trap, or some form of zone defence.

The plays are pretty much Basketball 101 and I'm sorry, but maybe the question asked in the thread should be "how can we make SASI more effective?", or "How can we use SASI to raise the standard of basketball at all clubs in the state?" or "How can SASI develop coaches to better implement programmes?"

Who is Sasi and what is her fashion sense like on match day?
