Bring back Phil Smyth

Sung to Amy Winehouse "Rehab"

They tried to make me go back coaching but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been booted once but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and my daughter’s team thinks I'm fine
They’ve tried to make me go to the dome but I won't go go go

(Apologies to Phil and Amy)

Time away from the game is not necessarily a problem, check out Adrian Hurley's performance to be coach of the year upon his return with a very mediocre Hunter squad, there again few would argue that Bruce Palmer did well in either of his return stints.

I thought that Scott Ninnis had a resonable stint as an assistant coach in the NBL. Didn't he form part of the men in black barbershop choir for BG , before being the assistant coach of the Dragons ?

I was very glad to see the success that Philk had as a coach, but disappointed ( but not surprised) to see the Vocal yokals of SA to once again P!$$ on their own as soon as they could. I doubt that Jerry Slaon would have made it to 6 years here.

Phil was great in the beginning but ran out of tricks and lacked the ability to come up with new ideas as other coaches adjusted to negate his strategies. He also had some dubious squads.

Give Clarke time, if he is worth his salt he will acknowledge the short comings of his squad and press for changes.

The question is, will the owners walk the same path?

A few seasons ago PS was as popular as a turd in a swimming pool.

Bringing Smyth back is like asking Tina Turner to come back from the 80's and 90's and become a Lady Gaga of the world. It wont happen.

Phil offered much, but in his last years as coach, he showed the game was beyond him. But still a great coach
