Boti & Cattalini on the money
Isaac, you are right about that side of things. It does certainly help. Personally I think so more in the case of Croswell and his position at the 1 or 2 to see the court. Balls is more of the "lead by example" on court which I feel hasn't had any effect coming off the bench and hitting 1 of 6.
But at the same time, you can still yell out suggestions from the side line, you can take a guy aside on the training court and take a lead role.
Also, the other thing to consider is that in the environment where obviously players will be aware of the news articles etc. they can still pickup a phone and call players direct and offer advice etc. where the coaching staff may be lacking.
Thoughts?

I miss Ben and others (as would the players).
I imagine if they were still around ............
Not sure 'bout some of the guests that Clarke brings out to training.
Newley ; " Whaat , did you read that in a book ? "


All of whom played a combined total of 26.42 minutes in the last game ( which I found surprising high and possible among the most minutes they've collectively played in a game this entire season).
With they exception of Crossy, and a cameo from Doc, those four guys have had little significance on season results).

It was suggested in another thread that Maher was sniffing around for a coaching gig. Since his business partner is Catt, easiest person for Boti to get a quote from, even if he is interstate?

Isaac, being injured shouldn't hamper your ability to try and attend training and sit with the guys, give advice or pick up a phone and talk to them.
Veteran leadership doesn't just mean "Score 20ppg"; there's the whole "advice/morale" part of being a leader as well.

Average OKKA, I'm sure Boti would do a decent job as part of the team management, but doubt he could coach.
Also, keep in mind he says the coaching is "part" of the solution for a winning team. Management needs to get on board and be proactive just as much as the players do.
Frankly I think the team we have for the majority is a winning side; the negatives we really have are that:
A) We don't have a suitable Head Coach (still think Marty is worth keeping as an Assistant coach).
B) Can't speak from knowing, but I'd be interested to see what kind of support beyond the financial side, the Sixers management is giving to the players.


If the only thing that is holding the Sixers back from sacking the coach is being able to afford the payout to the two coaches, then may I suggest that if every fan wanting the dynamic due tossed in a $20 into a bucket carried around by a cheerleader next home game, then the SOS would have a formidable fund.
