Knox Basketball Program - End of an Era?

Yeah Anonymous WTF is AT caus he aint from the MIGHTY WASPS!!!!!

And still nothing from you Former Knox Coach? Geez, that attack was scintilatingly cowardly.

I appreciate your comments Balanced, but if they are a Former Knox Coach, then what reprisals should they fear?

And I think the notion of a reprisal is ridiculous. Speaking your mind is what gets you to places, its what separates those with clear vision and potential from the rest of the pack.

I do agree with the other posts by various people about this not being to forum to air dirty laundry (as I rasied in my other post). The club is bigger than any one individual, and as such, any issues can be, and should be, addressed.

No club runs smoothly. Everyone makes mistakes. It was Graham Longstaff who refused to let Venky Jois be seen by the 14 -1 coach and then overlooked him the following year for the 16-1 and 16-2 teams. That kid lived 5 minutes from the stadium and didn't want to leave the club. Dandenong gave him every opportunity and he ended up getting major time in SEABL championship as a 17 year old. That just doesn't hapen at Knox.
Same thing happened to Bogut with Dandenong. He couldn't get a look at the top sides and had to go to several clubs to get the chances he needed.
People are people and make mistakes.
Not applying for your job when it is advertised? - just another mistake.

Maybe so but the senior raiders side is only one area in the whole club, the issues it has are affecting all areas of the club.

You make me laugh DP34 my mail is people are questioning the club but I am not sure they are getting answers, or if they are the answers just raise further questions.
I am a proud Knox person and that will never change but you don't have to be einstein to see that there are problems their no matter what you say.It is no longer the tight knit place it used to be when everybody used to paddle in the same direction. The ship now has to many captains paddling their own boat.

Yep people like helping the club and Knox has always had a strong base of volunteers but that is not the case anymore.The only volunteers now are those who run the domestic clubs who do a great job.

Former Knox Coach - You put this scathing attack on the club up here and won't put your name next to it? Geez it must be hard to criticise from behind your keyboard.

anon - you're exactly the same.

If you guys/girls want to criticise, then do so. Everyone has their right to an opinion. But don't go putting it up hiding behind some fake name. The safety of anonymity means you feel you can have a crack on here? That's weak as.

I remain proud to say I am a Knox person, for all the apparent shortcomings that anyone wants to air out on here. People who are proud to be involved are the people that are there to help the club. Obviously So take your weak attack, and perhaps rephrase it as a few questions which can be answered by those in the know. That's if you want answers. I would presume, however, that now your rant is done you don't really want to put your name to it and seek some answers. Be stoked if you proved me wrong...

sorry anon was only questioning the accuracy relating to new stadium operation.As I said I agree with a lot of the old coaches comments.

sorry anon you are way off the mark here, the council owns the building but Knox has the management rights and they set the pricing for anything that happens in relation to court usage.From what I have heard you are right about BV usage as what Knox is asking is just to expensive.The new SBC can help Knox only if they get the operation of the whole place right, which at this time from my observations they haven't.

I am also afraid that some of the comments made by old coach are very very accurate no matter what other posters may say which to be honest being a Knox person is breaking my heart.
