Loco, you are right.

hereschenes, somehow I think that SOS are a group of level headed business men. I am pretty sure they will play it safe and know how much they can offer Goorjian without running the club to the ground. If they have spoken to him, then it suggests that they are testing the waters. If Goorjian comes to Adelaide to coach, it will be because the fine line between spending money/making money and spending money/losing money has been found.

Hopeless, I can see where you get your name from Negativity = Hopeless. You've got to have faith sometime, and now seems a good time to start. After all, if SOS hadn't stepped in last year, we would not have had this last season. The club would have already folded without Goorjian. As for the Fuss situation, you will always find one bad apple in the box. That's why they put a waxy coating on them so the others don't get spoiled.

I'm just kinda thinking out loud -

If ya had Brian Goorjian - Head Coach, with Maher, assistant, being groomed to take over - something like that (Stirling with a role- maybe)

Ken Cole is on his way here, with a bag full of money, wanting to buy the dome and the sixers.

Just thoughts. Gonna be interesting to follow the events.

The club will go broke if Goorjian comes here... can we please put that ridiculous idea to bed now? It was funny maybe the first 343524 times Boti alluded to it in his columns over the years, but seriously people. If the club stays afloat with Scott Ninnis and Dave Claxton coaching, then I'm sure the Sixers' rabidly parochical and passionate fans can handle one of the NBL's all-time great coaches taking the helm. In fact, I'm convinced that the Sixers would stay intact if the club appoints a small patch of brown liquid as the new coach. (Which may be creosote, or some extract used in industrial varnishing.)

Don't get me wrong here, I voted for Ninnis all the way. I'm just saying it how I thought I saw it this year..No chance of it happening, but would love to see Scotty here in some capacity still...Cake and eat it sort of thing.....

I would hate Boy Goorj here, but if he wins......

Having said that, I would much prefer a college coach ala Dunlap(as much as everyone hated him)......

Didn't Boy Goorj come here from college???

A dictating, play it my way, do it my way coach is what we need personally..Gilly, as good as he was, did not seem to have any respect for Ninnis at all!!!!!! Maher would have been a perfect PG this year!

I like this:

"We've had inquiries and resumes from NCAA coaches and from coaches of national men's teams," Fitzsimons said.

Hope we can land someone with the experience and drive to take this team by the scruff of the neck, shake out all the underperformers and build a basketball program we can be proud of again.

Do any of these 'usual suspects' have South Australian ties?
