You know, neither the Breakers or the Crocs did any less than what was really expected of them so the choice of Gleeson as COTY is a little surprising to me, especially considering his team went from 16-12 last year to 17-11 this year. Not a whole lot of improvement. Although they did go 13-1 at home didn't they, and they had the best defense in the league. As for Lemanis, not a big fan of the guy either. The Breakers were expected to finish 1st and so far they have. No over the top coaching performance there.

Not surprised Clark finished in the bottom 4 (with Joey Wright, Al Westover and D-Mac). Anyone know the full order?

I'm with you Macdub - Lemanis is overrated big time. Never been a fan of his and I have seen nothing over the past few years to change my mind.

Gleeson is a deserved winner, but there was probably a few guys that could have had their hands on the silverware this year.

Lemanis isn't rated by the NZ public over here.
To be honest, the Breakers have a roster that even Marty Clarke could win with.

Lemanis isn't the best coach; If you watch enough of the Breakers problems, youll see his mistakes.
Doesn't put alot of trust in young/development players..Took a while to give Abo the court time he deserved, uses Pledger ( a legit 7"2 center) sparingly as with Webster and BJ.
Has limited defensive strategies--The Breakers trans D has been awful at times this year.

As a breaker fan, I am worried that a wise old head like Beverdige will out-coach him in the semis.
Gleeson thoroughly deserves the award.
