36ers confirm Clarke and Radford as coaches

$1M cap - 2imports Balls Schensch Bursto - we'd be over

I think you could have all 3 in a rotation aslong as they are willing to accept playing around 20-25 mins each game, the other thing which would make it more difficult is if they sign say Ben Allen who is another C out of college, who marty clarke mentioned in his article the other day, id say if they signed him and wanted to give him some half decent minutes they would probably have to let Burstons go.

Could they run a rotation of:

C Schenscher 22 mins/Burston 10 mins/Allen (?U23)8 mins
PF Ballinger 28 mins/Burston 12 mins
SF Homes 20 mins/Import SG/SF 20 mins
SG Import SG/SF 10 mins/Herbert 15 mins/Ng 15 mins
PG Import 20 mins/Bruce 20 mins

If they were willing to accept that kind of role then i would be happy to have all of those guys aslong as they also dont take up too much points cap space.

my guess is that would put them over the 70 points, so i would guess they would probably have to let Burston go or get a lesser back up PG than Bruce, possiblt Burdon or Hill who would only be 1s or 2s id assume could take that last spot with either the import SG/SF or Ng or Herbert spelling the PG for 5 mins a half.

Will be a interesting off season, cant wait to see what clarke puts together

All from last season are keen to go around again.
Of those Ballinger Burston Herbert Ng were definate keepers.
Schenscher is here with genuine interest.

Hey Camel, just wondering is that 100% fact that the Schensch is keen to play back in adelaide? or are you saying if he did want to we cant pick all of them? personally im Schenscher fan and it would be cool for him to come back but i agree holmes burston and schensch would all be fighting for the lime light its too much, somethings gotta give. Burston had a very impressive season (injury aside). Does anyone know Marty's thoughts on the people he plans on keeping? i read in Boti's article that he saw potential in a number of players and keeping balls, but i didnt see a mention of burston so i personally thought this could be the start of Burston being let go, can anyone provide any more info or thoughts?

Schenscher 10, Holmes 8, Burston 7. - Are keen to play in ADL. But I'd guess ya can't have all 3 on the one team - You'd have to decide.

Gazza you do make a good point which is also why i didnt jump into bagging hill as i deep down hold hope that with the right coach hill can come good. But if hill has a similar season again to the one he just had he would need to go in my mind. Very glad to hear he sees alot of potential in darren. Darrens talent stood out from a long way it would be stupid to let him go.

All in all i cant wait for the next season it will be great to see what marty can do.

Congrats to Marty getting the job. the only thing that worried me in Boti's article was that Clarke said he see's potential in Brad Hill! i dont mean to start any debates about hill but personally what potential could he have seen? and can we please not refer to the one random game that hill had that was good. if you miss too many open layups i think that speaks for itself. definately looking forward to next season and regardless what clarke does he definately deserves a chance and i cant wait to see it.

Luke being assistant coach for the Boomers some how does not count. They do have training camps before the World Championships and Olympics. So yes maybe he has coached Bogut and others in some camp but he has also coached them at international level and in the Australian Institute of Sport, our governments elite development programme. From here they may go one to the US college system or to other basketball leagues like Euro or NBL. Few of them under achieve after being through this programme.

Your extremely rude rant shows your complete lack of knowledge regarding the Australian basketball system.

And turn the caps of next time a/hat

Would be good to get Bruce back, but I think his in-laws own like half of Texas and part of Arkansas.

Great news.
Been talking to ex AIS people who rate him highly

Still need to get some quality players, doesn't matter who is pulling the strings.

Good work SOS! Now our coach can get on with rebuilding our team. Any word on whether Marty will talk to the media about his plans for the team in the next few days? I'd be interested to hear what his style and priorities are going to be.

Also, apologies if someone has posted this already, but was hiring Radford part of a package deal to get Clarke? Do they have a coaching link through the AIS/ Tasmania?

Flynn?

Clarke is a great choice. Wish him and the 36ers all the best.
