Larry Sengstock's rating out of 10, thus far

That was Frank Lowy, last nite. 'A-League needs more younger players and we'll do something about that, next season.' - That sounds like a YAP rule. If so, that's a compliment to Sengstock.

The NBL was a basketcase for years. Close it down or give it to BA. Neither was ideal. But a lotta things have now vastly improved.
He wanted to ban music - let the game stand on it's own. While I struggled to play with it , it's part of our game now.
8 outta 10.

Achtung Baby, bit harsh blaming Larry for the decision of individual Argentinians not to play in a friendly series. That is out of his control.

I still think the Argentina series will be a very competitive one. The players they are bringing will be fighting for spots on their World Championship team so you would think they will be determined to play well against Australia.

From an Aussie point of view, we also get to see a fresh Mills looking to round into form for the World Championships. We may not see him play in this country again for quite a few years, as no doubt future NBA seasons will make it tough for him to play much in the off-season.

It will be good to see two SA boys in Ingles and Newley back from successful stints in Europe.

We get to see what a season of NBA training has done for Jawai's fitness and skill level.

We get to see Luke Nevill play and see what he can bring to the Boomers and to the Tigers next season.

Theres a ton of reasons to be positive about this series!

Sengstock has done a reasonable job to date. I would however have liked to see more grass-roots promotion and activities in the NBL off-season, particulalry with the reinstated Sydney Kings. I guess there is still plenty of time before the new season, but I would like to see plenty of it from now on.

I would also like to see more of the younger, newer faces and upcoming stars of the NBL and Boomers be used to help promote the NBL teams and the league. People still think Andrew Gaze when you mention the NBL.

We need more Boomers and Opals games ot be played in Australia - at least 1-2 series per year - not just in Olympic or WC yers.

Given all this, I think a 6.5 mark is warranted so far.

A Half decent Argentina team would have got him over the 7 mark, just. Big fail with this Internatioanl series. What an absolute Joke!!!
