Are you guys for real?

Benn McDonald was a crap player at Meningie Bears although he was good at re-arranging the team. He was also at another club but I fail to remember, but the answer would be a swift NO.

In fact, this is still a joke right?

Yes, Benny Mac can coach. Can he referee? no worse than everyone else.

Although outsiders look at Benn as a referee and a poor one at that he is coaching at Woodville with a considerable level of effort.

Off the court Benn has sought mentors that have helped him with his coaching that include highly credentialed NBL, WNBL and district coaches at high and low levels.

Benn has also listened to his players, something that he has possibly not done as a referee.

I have known Benn for a long time and have found him extremely 'full on' either as a referee, player or now as a coach. Benn has got right into player development and offers extra training sessions, feedback and the occasional 'how ya going?' text or phone call.

Benn is certainly committed to providing a environment for players to improve and be the best they can be.

Benn has told me many times that he is nowhere near the educated level of the coach he wants to be. Benn reads, listens and sources all types of infomation to make him a better coach.

Maybe what I have written helps answer your question Intersted Observer. You may have a differing opinion, but what I have written is what I think.

For anyone who wants to be trained hard, committed to fitness and focused on playing for a passionate and developing coach should contact Benn.

Kills is right about having his players enjoy playing for him, Benn does provide a great environment, so I agree with Kills, Benny Mac can coach.

I used to think he was getting into coaching to be controlling but I have come to understand he is truly passionate about coaching.

I read the thread and thought I would make a comment so that you can understand Benn is doing the absolute best he can and provide background about how he goes about it.

Interested Observer you should approach him, talk to him about things to do with basketball. You might actually like him?

I just hope he does not read this. Someone might have to deflate his head!

Well, with so many referees coaching for local district clubs, there are conflicts of interest everywhere. If you didn't have them refereeing their own club, you simply wouldn't have enough referees.......
