is High Stakes Hoops going around again?
I cain't believe it was April school holidays 2010.
NBL Free agency period.
Time goes by awfully fast , doesn't it ?


Yea Dillon did great out of the HSH, also good to see the guys in NZ like Allred, O'Gallagher, Young who played HSH.
Personally i wouldnt mind the 36ers grabbing 1 NZBL import who has done well in that league, it would show some good form, and would likely be better than gambling on the next Howard.
Pity this comp isnt going around again, i wish the NBL would run a small tournament for free agents/rookies/college returnees to impress the coaches, etc,almost like a mini NBA summerleague ala Dillon in HSH.
Could probably do it fairly cheap run it over a week or so, put a small amount of prize money for the winning team ala $1k each player/coach and the rest play for free for the opportunity to impress, and have the NBL assistant coaches coach a team each to test themselves out aswell.
Surely that would get a half decent amount of talent both Aussies and imports (no import restrictions) and would help unearth some diamonds in the rough.

Daniel Dillon and Todd Blanchfield both benfited enormously.
I would argue Bennett Davison did too and hence why Gold Coast signed him...only to realise he just was not 100% committed...

Schenscher best Aussie. Farley best import.
Cole best coach n Rillie best commentator.

i wonder what happened to Troy Jackson, he seemed pretty legit. would have done alot better than our imports the way he played in the HSH
