Everard Bartlett speaks out about being sacked

How quickly we forget his clutch three in game 2 of the semi finals...

I think he was sacked because he was signed as a point guard but he was too selfish to pass the ball and Lisch was more of a ball carrier than he ever was and that doesn't sit well with me.

Everard if your the point guard then take control and run the team!

His contract was paid out wasnt it?

If so its not too bad of a result. He can now explore other job opportunities.

A mid to low level European league could suit.

What utter bollocks... A beat up on the points system either unknowingly (unaware that he was still rated as a 4 for this season) or trying to make excuses for him having a crap season, which would be a primary reason why he was let go...

What SHOULD be the focus of the article is that he was let go without any actual reason given to him, mid-contract, despite Nick Marvin's "anyone who wants to come back next season can come back" policy... I guess that doesn't count towards already contracted players?

Going 0/9 in one game and realising was what burned his bridges with me...

we may not have a points cap in the next season or so which will be interesting.

The points system seems to be a contentious issue and working out points seems to involve a bit of black magic. I am sure the NBL has a formula based on some tangibles.

The system is there to ensure that relative team strengths are fairly even, but it seems the points system is limiting some players, in this case young Ev.

Be nice to see him in a roster, but if he has an underlying knee issue, then clubs don't like risks and in this day and age with only 8 teams, you can't hide a player. He runs the risk of being one of those players who ends up being a "coulda, woulda, shoulda"

"I've obviously played too well so I got higher points and that has pushed me out of a job."

The points system failed Bartlett by denying his re-rating from '6', but it's worth noting he was under a multiyear contract and was actually still rated a '4' when Perth released him.
