IMO the #1 thing I would be doing at the moment is getting the coach some media training/coaching.

One of the main problems I see at the moment with Clarke is that he doesnt seem to take any responsibility for the teams performance. When the #1 journo in the state is Boti, who loves taking pot shots and being negative, having a coach who seems to put himself above criticism is a recipe for disaster.

If Clarke was proactive in post game interviews and came out and acknowleged where the team was lacking and what HE needed to do over the coming week at training to address those shortcomings then I feel it would really help.

At the moment it seems that Clarke is trying to divert the blame anywhere and everywhere to save taking any himself. Coaching an NBL team isnt bloody easy so actually acknowleging that he is still learning himself and will continue to work on being able to get more out of the team would go a long way to improving both the way he and the club are percieved.

Fans will accept a loss as long as they feel that everyone is giving 100% and the entire group is accountable for their part in it and working to improve

This is a young , versatile roster that has improved since the lackluster start and will improve further.
Some good players were not considered , although some reckon Bruce cain't get the ball over halfway and don't like Helliwell here , but he's great trainer,
while only yesterday Simpson and Creek shot very well.
Helliwell's a great coach.
Johnson didn't miss.
Many are speculating Weigh's minutes , when others had to sweat.
