Goorjian to be inducted into Hall of Fame

Yeah I wasn't suggesting that Goorjian should start out as a NBA head coach. But I was just pointing out at the heights that Dunplap and Brown have got too in terms of personal in the NBA.

But Goorjian has not at least even tried and had a crack as an assistant coach or coached in a NBA developmental league.

I see where this has been discussed on a previous forum and someone suggested he would make a better college coach. That probably a more correct assumption. Goorjian the best coach ever in the NBL in developing young Australian talent.

In the NBA you have to manage minutes, ego's, players agents, money, stardom. John Calapari virtually says that why he coaches college basketball and has no interest in coaching in the NBA again.

Nice one, KB3 - they're obviously following a standard process even when it's not practical.

Serious question... Who here hated Goorj as the Magic coach and thought it was great when his Titans teams kept losing grand finals... Yet wouldn't take a second to ask him back to the NBL?

As for who could afford him I reckon Perth would fork out $1m a year; dr Bendat has admitted he expects a championship - hardly sounds like someone that wouldn't buy Goorjian's services if available

Yeah Goorjian suggested that considers Australia his home and will come back. I also feel Goorjian has also always had the interests of Australian basketball at heart. He's Magic teams played with only one import at times during he's tenure with him. He also criticized Perth Wildcat coach Adrian Hurly when Perth acquired two imports after James Crawford, Ricky Grace and Scott Fisher became naturalized Australians - suggesting Hurley will go too any length to win a Championship.

I have always wondered why Brian Goorgian has not tried to have a crack at the NBA in America. Brett Brown and Mike Dunlap both got head coaching positions in the NBA. Admittedly Dunlap only was head coach for one season, but had a successful stint as a assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets.

But I have always wondered why Goorjian has not looked at his options, considering its more lucrative and he is originally from the US. While Dunlap and Brown had great success in the NBL, Goorjian without a doubt had the most success out of the three, but chooses only to try his trade in Australia and China.

Well done Goorj, shame we can't hear his speech as I'm sure it would be a ripper
