36ers sign new player

The wait better be worth it.

You'd pray to god that Newley was coming back. Guessing the Rockets have no interest in him, which is a shame.

Isaac have you changed your name back to Issac again?

I thought only the brad called you that lol.

It's not Nathan Crosswell.

Croswell would be good. The two home games vs. Tigers last season, he torched the defense.

Would be interesting to see him for the Sixers; though not my first preference.

Rhys Carter would be a good signing, but he is not a PG but an SG, and plsu by all accounts he would rather remain in Sweden with his partner.

And there's one thing I know and that's Skip knows his stuff ;-)

Rhys Carter would be a very handy player - isn't he in Europe at the moment?

Dont think it will be Huey



Tigers establish pathways with Basketball Tasmania
March 31, 2010, 10:58 AM AEST


Basketball Tasmania and the Melbourne Tigers have jointly announced the establishment of a scholarship to be made available annually to a promising young Tasmanian male basketballer.

The scholarship will provide an opportunity for the athlete to make at least one visit to Melbourne to live and train with the Tigers and their development squad prior to the NBL season.

Basketball Tasmania General Manager David Scott explained that it would be possible for the winner to make more than one visit to the Tigers if it could be linked to travel to the mainland for another purpose. He noted that the program had been designed to mirror a similar arrangement between Basketball Tasmania and WNBL team the Dandenong Rangers which had now been operating for two years.

“It is expected that the scholarship winner will possess outstanding basketball skills and will have represented Tasmania in under-age basketball,” Tasmanian Institute of Sport Basketball Coach Justin Schueller said. He added “It goes without saying that the winner will be of outstanding character and will have genuine aspirations to progress his basketball career.”

Tigers’ General Manager Adam Fountain said the club was excited about having the opportunity to connect with the Tasmanian scholarship program. “The Melbourne Tigers are pleased to be able to provide a pathway for a developing Tasmanian player to learn from and work with the club, we hope that the launch of this scholarship is a significant step towards an ongoing partnership between the Basketball Tasmania and the Melbourne Tigers”.

It is anticipated that the scholarship will be advertised in early June with the winner to be announced by mid-July.

Ben Madgen? I would think he could earn a lot more $ in Europe.
