Yeah, noticed I got that wrong.

Good, it even strengthens my argument as to his coaching ability.

Anon,

Bruce hasn't got a deal in Australia or overseas as far as I am aware.

Crosswhite retired from the NBL.

So no, they didn't pull the pin on him:

- Bruce was overrated at Sydney and probably lost them a few games they should have won.

If he pulled the pin on Heal, why hasn't he got a deal with another team. I think its more the fact that every other team has pulled the pin on him.

Same with Crosswhite. If he had pulled the pin on Hammer, he probably would have played with another team like Cairns.

The fact he effectively retired from all basketball shows you he was more disenchanted with basketball/the league than he was with Heal.

IMO, Heal is a very good coach.

They came within a whisker of the top 4 last season (had the same record as the Tigers).

It's not like Heal had a stacked roster either. He had budget imports. His strength was been able to ensure players did their job (pretty cohesive defensive unit.)

What i like about Heal is that from my point of view it seems like he can relate to the players. Because he is still only a few years removed as a player he can understand things from a players AND a coaches perspective.

Madgen has benefited from this enormously. Primarily because Heal was a shooter in his hey day and so is Madgen.
