Surely 36ers have to sign new coach this week?

And let Current outgoing players know what's happening.

Best thing to do is announce Clarke won't be renewed next week (after the MVP dinner). Clarke's release will appease the fans (and from all indications help with season ticket renewals) and let current and potential incoming players know what's happening.

To my fellow 36er fans: calm down and stop bitching.

Didn't someone say Marty's contract goes until end of June? Julia's term finishes in September but you don't see her walking away from her fine work. She's doing her very best at continuing what she has done during her time in the role.

I would suggest that unless Marty has packed up his whiteboard, the SOS use him to their advantage.

The question of Head Coach for Season 2013/14 is vexing and I think the Sixers need to get the process underway.


Oh to be a SOS member at this time.

Do we really want to go down the path of another Perth assistant coach after all the success Radford brought us?

Well if he will then I've got a pretty good explanation for Surely Now as to why no announcement has been made yet.

So why rush the process and risk making a poor decision.

I think they're suggesting that it wouldn't be a rushed process, but the Sixers management should have been working behind the scenes even though they couldn't replace Marty this season... There's a good point for moving sooner rather than later, as while there are only 2 or 3 players not contracted for next season, and you're not allowed to talk to other teams FAs until a couple of weeks after the Finals have completed, having a new coach in place would give a better impression and other players might not immediately discount the Sixers and either re-sign with current teams or plan to sign with others... Getting the RIGHT coach might even make them pause from their current path and wait and see for the FA period to talk to the Sixers...

If they've already been engaged in the process prior to now, the decision may be sped up. Not knowing the internal workings of the club, I have no idea what that entails logistically. I'd assume they put out an "accepting all resumes" signal (including Marty's) and go from there. I assume they can do that any time over the course of a season?

A solid coaching announcement would certainly help with members that are unsure of renewing and with players looking at their 13/14 season options.

There must be a few proven NBL commodities out there looking for a gig.

I guess it comes down to $$$s again - who's paying for a new coach?

New coach won't be announced for about 3 more weeks.Sixers organisation always take their time.
