Martin Iti will play for the Tall Blacks too in the World Champs

Going back to the USA squad of 27--No Joe Johnson?
Could be because they already have a host of talented SG's..Wade, Bryant, Anthony ?

Sack Phil for starters, he is overpriced for the limited amount of coaching he actually does in games. Yes, he has won championships but that was with a talented playing group who fitted the system he runs and they all had good years. The players he has had the last couple years do not fit this system, hence why we have failed and Phil has not picked up on this and changed his system at all. How many 60 point losses does a team need to have in a season to realise this. Also he hasn't or cannot develop players.

So as mentioned, sack Phil and Steve and their 200k+ per year package. Bring back Scotty Ninnis and get some local coach who has a future in coaching as an assistant such as Paul Mesceke, Scott Loveday or Billy Hopkins and use the excess money to recruit players or keep the good ones we have.

Now don't tell me Phil has developed Hill, Holmes and Foreman. Hill has gone backwards, Holmes after 4 years with Phil still chucks the ball at the rim, put some air on your shot mate, you may get a soft bounce instead of it clanging of the iron 4 out of 6 times. Foreman is a tissue and has no middle game and his 3 point shooting aint putting fear into any opposition coach or player.

Also, get rid of Farley, go after a young aussie guard like Luke Kendall who can ball or some other guard coming through in oz or who is in college or get Rucker who is aussie. If that is not possible, bring Ben Osborne out of retirment and team him with Brett Maher as if it wasn't for the Sixers board not liking Mick Osborne those two would have been our back court for the last 12 years as coming out of under 20 state they were the best guard tamden in the nation by a long way.

With an aussie point we could go after a 3 and 5 or a 4 and 5, both options we haven't had for a long time. Also open your eyes Sixers to talent. Southern Tigers had Paul Pochintesta over from WA 2 years ago, the boy could shoot the rock better than anyone in the Sixers outside of Brett Maher and maybe Farley but they didn't even look at him.

Enough said............
