SOS to do list.

Overall, I've been happy with SOS and think they are doing the right things to turn the Sixers around. They're not there yet though and for me that is 100% about the performance of the team. So the two things I would like to see are:

1) Marty gets the final say on every player on his team for next season. No ifs, buts, or anything else. Management selects the coach and they should then back his judgement.

2) The club needs to have a really close look at why we cannot land quality imports. Hodge is the only import we've had that has been up to scratch since Farley and he was a nob.

So the crap courts at AHRC are the SOS problem?

Maybe start a new thread about the minimum standard required for district basketball.

yeh i know what you mean. Unless we start winning, the fans wont be coming which means no cash. Sos have that as their main issue considering at the start of the year the objective was to make a finals appearance. I will keep my season ticket however i no longer get excited for games now as i know ill just leave disappointed as usual. We must get schencher back imo. If we get him that will be a massive positive. Somehow i think shannons plan of staying in the nbl past this season is looking bleak

My concern with the stadium is that once we get our team sorted and we start winning games, the stadium will probably be ready to collapse and we could lose our whole team. that would suck!

Yea i agree, a winning team is the most important.

My to do list is something like this

1. Sign Schenscher and Magden,

2. Get better imports, this years crop has been our worse IMO, i like Shannon to start with but he has faded fast, why dont we send Phil over to the US pick imports, tell him it must be a fresh face, so no Horvaths or Chappells, and we need a SG/SF who can score and be a game winner and hope he gets the next Farley or Brooks, maybe send Cal Bruton with him, they both seem to pick the imports well, way better than Clarke has done, and even trial them against a few others if we can. Clarke would also need to be instructed to let them off the leash a bit (or run a free flowing offense ala Smyth or the tigers teams of old) and be able to play with some flair so they can perform without any restriction. We have Aussies like Bruce, Ballinger, Hill, Creek all would benefit from a free flowing fast moving offense.

"You forgot to slay the dragon?"

"It's on my to do list"

It's a facilities related thread dude.

Bring back Strong Iced Coffee. Seriously, after drinking that, the normal stuff just doesn't cut it.

agree id rather see a winning sixers team on the street than a losing one in a good stadium however it appears we are getting a double negative. losing team and stadium that will be closing at this rate.

also on the to do list:

purchase schench or Burston, tonights game really showed how much we are missing in that department. id rather schench over angry man burston though

regardless of who owns the stadium it wont get fixed but pretty certain sos made a deal with the bank for use of the venue as they initially were going to try and buy it when EG was going bust.

No the smell still lingers.

you have a point there i forgot about that. Well im guessing seeing as the bank owns it that wont be getting fixed anytime soon. The leaking roof is a serious oh&s issue tho. If someone slips heads will roll

What a disgrace.

I would agree Price did not look all that good but Heal as player coach is not going to be much better. Ninnis is there and would do a better job and deserves the opportunity. a poor decision indeed
