Adam Tatalovich to face charges

Ludicrous situation.

"He is the CEO, that is whats wrong. The role of a CEO is not to post a picture of a reported incident on Twitter."

So the non-posting of pictures is now the purpose of a CEO, well that just widened the available pool of applicants if we ever need to replace Marvin.

Not running the organisation and managing its public image and fortunes or anything like that. I mean, that would be unprofessional, right?

Right?

I mean he's just like a cop, he has to be impartial about the situ-WAIT JUST A MINUTE YOU TRICKY ANON. That isn't what his role is at all!

"Its interesting too that it would appear that no referee reported anyone after the "incident." Would that be a true statement?
If so wither incompentency or they deemed nothing in it. I would have thought the former."
Pretty sure they were down the tunnel already at the time, and having not seen anything couldn't possibly have made any reports.

In my experience, there are very few times when the phrase "out of context" is not employed in a weaselly fashion.

It was firmly rooted in the context of a confrontation between Wright and Tatalovich. There's a lot you could say about the little sliver of time presented in the photo, but I don't see how you can claim it was out of context when everyone had access to the footage to compare it against.

Out of all the molehills being converted into mountains, Marvin tweeting that picture is by far the biggest differential between actual incident and the absurdity of response. There is absolutely nothing there, folks.

Camel, are you high?

Not really, if a club goes to the trouble of lodging an official complaint it would have to be utterly spurious prima facie to not take the matter to a tribunal, and making that call would be politically awkward for them. They would progress through with the charge whether they agree or not, nothing can be derived from the fact charges have been pressed in this instance.

"Tatalovich wouldn't be facing any charges if the NBL didn't agree with the 36ers complaints on some level."

Why would you presume this to be the case?


Agree that in hindsight, a series of modest fines and a general warning to don't be that dumb again to both teams, handed out in the space of the weekend, would have been the way to go about it. After all, despite talk of striking this or provocation done, the whole thing was surely a massive case of no harm done, no need to stress.

It was late in the evening when there vame a knock upon the door."Who is it?" Bruce asked. "It's me Bruce." said Joey."and I'd like a word with you."................." Where's the betterhalf Bruce?" Joey asked as he entered the room. "Aw, she's out the back flaming it up with Jarrid. Now, what's on your mind today?" "Well," Joey began." I wondered what to say on Friday and I understand that you're the key." "That's right! I am!! Now, you've been around the league forever and you've boxed all that time, while the racist has been here only one season and if you had punched him he would have gone down." Joey: "fine. That will be all." Just then Bruce's wife, Angela entered the room. " Get out! you Frye hater. Come here no more." Joey left willingly....................

^ Didn't read, just an anon.

Yeah I agree. You're making people teste

Anonymous, grow a set of balls and put your name up. Otherwise FUCK OFF

You have let us all down, Silencer. Like the Russian hockey team to Vladimir Putin, you have let us all down ):

Yeah I'm guessing Gary as well. Top of screen doing his best Patty Mills impression with a towel, near another cameraman and therefore another mic.

That doesn't sound like Joey's voice to me. Sounds like someone else.

"- Joey can be heard on the broadcast yelling "that's f****** wrong"

You sure?
All I can make out is him shouting "Don't you EVER push me!" over and over
(or words similar to that. Might have been don't you ever touch me)

"Wildcats fans are rushing to exonerate an obviously much-loved assistant who most couldn’t name before Friday’s shemozzle."

Maybe not you, Boti, but plenty in Perth were well aware of Adam and his NBA background.
Don't forget we still care about our basketball in Perth.
I don't see Wildcats fans rushing to exonerate him either. FWIW I definitely think he is guilty of removing an opposing coach's hands from one of his players and should be punished accordingly.

Well I would certainly deny that the Wildcats had any involvement in "mallee", or anywhere else in north-western Victoria for that matter.

We may have had something to do with a melee a couple thousand km's away, however.

Reality 1 - Anon -3

Not just Boti, but Last night's TV news as well:

Channel 10: "After more complaints by the 36ers, Cats assistant Adam Tatalovich has been charged.."

Channel 7: "After a complaint from Adelaide, Cats assistant coach Adam Tatalovich has been charged..."

Can hardly blame "Perth fans" for thinking that's how it came about, when that is exactly the way all the news outlets are reporting it.

Joey should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. Most likely he's going to get off the striking charge so will therefore have no punishment. Is it really acceptable that no-one (Tat excluded here because as an assistant coach he doesn't really count) is punished after that whole incident and that the league deems that as acceptable behaviour?

Why would Hire shooting the 3 even be an issue? It's not like he carried on after he made it. It was a legitimate open shot that he took. Most games that have blown out this season have teams taking those shots all the time.

i loved the whole basketbrawl...absolutely loved it !!

Greg Hire will pay for wasting his vertical on those stubby little non-dunking t-rex arms!

"I'm surprised people aren't sulking, sooking or whinging about Hire taking 3 pointer"

Give it time, Steven.
First, after Adelaide's dobbing in of Tatalovich, Tatalovic has to counter-dob on Gary Ervin, then at his tribunal hearing he will counter-counter dob on Hire, and then FINALLY justice can be served by Greg Hire, the despicable instigator of this whole mess, finally copping his due punishment!

@8474,

You're being facetious, right? Right?

"Clearly Perth have so much money they need to employ a sepo rather than an Aussie."

Yeah it's sad isn't it.
Get Ennis & Beal on the next flight home I say!

I know the Anons around here can come up with some dumb stuff but that just takes the cake.

Wonder if that sort of thing happens at training? Someone bumps into the coach and he chases them from one end of the court to the other.

Good for sprint work, I'd assume.

I'd be curious to hear Joey's side of what drove him into berserker mode.

All I could hear him yell was "Don't you ever touch me".

Still, he shoved a few people. Who cares.

Going to laugh if this gets tossed out on its ear as well...
