Marty & Radford Contracts not Renewed
A Dennis/Maher combo would sound pretty good to me if I were a 6ers fan.
From my Perth perspective I can't see both Bevo and Dennis being here next season - Dennis is too good a coach to stay an assistant.
If Bevo isn't here then I'd hope we would promote Dennis to head coach. If Bevo stays then Dennis needs to go elsewhere. Not that I want to lose him at all, but it seems greedy. The league needs him to be helping another team.

Good to see it finally made official. Disappointed to hear the GM say on radio yesterday that they are in no hurry to sign a coach. IMO they should have been exploring options behind the scenes for a couple of months now and should already have a very good idea of who they want. It's important the new coach is signed soon so they aren't hamstrung in either retaining key players or recruiting new ones.
IMO it has to be a coach with a successful NBL record. Glad to hear Smyth appears to be in the mix. I think he would be successful again on court, he has a high profile on the SA sports scene and we know he can do the public relations side, which Marty obviously struggled with.
If Maher is serious about coaching, I could see him working under Smyth too. Those two have enjoyed a lot of success together in the past, so you'd think they could make a good team.

Nothing to say re: Marty and Rat that hasn't been said. Should have gone year one / just about flat-lined the entire club.
Moving on: Beveridge or Wright please.

Thought he was a good choice at the time. Bringing young players in and being a teacher.
Seems like a college coach but not a coach of men.
I liked him as a player but have to agree he has been found out in pro sports.
For me I would like to see an experienced coach with a couple of fresh assistant coaches.
Ie Gorg, wright, stacker, smyth
Assistants
Ie maher, orlick, arsego, Dennis (granted orlick and arsego not fresh)
Maybe run a 1 season deal for the top line and then choose the next from the bottom.
Having said all of that $ is the biggest issue and probably why we will end up with another unproven untried head coach that will take peanuts for a crack at a top job.
Shawn Dennis the favourite in the betting?
Sort of like Port when they were successful a lot of their personal now head coaches, also collingwood and Geelong.
Pick the assistant from a successful program and hope it rubs off.


Oh Marcus Camby, where are you?
Two good things happened today, payday and the news of the dismissal. And about time.
Onwards and upwards I say

It would be a brave person to say that this comes as a shock.
Marty's strength is in player development. I would imagine he would be the coach you want to watch your players shoot and he would be the one who picks up that their elbow is out of position by 5%, or they snap their wrist 0.2 secs too late.
I wish him all the best for his future endeavours.

I'm happy for you today, Adelaide.
This is good news not just for the 36ers, but also for the NBL.
Best of luck to Marty. Hope has has success elsewhere, but clearly he was not the right fit for Adelaide.
