Anstey as a coach:Success or failure?

Next year is gonna be a massive season and coaches will have to perform straight away with 4 extra teams coming in the season following; great coaches like Bevo and Goorj if available will be snapped up by other coaches.

I'm more interested to see if Fearne coaches out the season as he has to be the most under threat current coach in the NBL (Dennis has been exceptional this year and he will get more of HIS team next year with more players contracts up to his discretion)

Fair enough - explains the lack of inside ball

Can't believe you think that the crowd getting into Goulding is a bad thing?! How is having passion involved in Australian basketball a bad thing?

Look at the great venues around the world (especially in the College game) - the crowds are one of the best parts! They love their team and will do anything to put the opposition off.

Take the Cameron Crazies @ Duke - they'd be one of the best at it.

The "Ooooohhhhh SEE YA!" when players foul out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y8eNplLv2U

"You let the whole team down!" is another ripper - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG3StHjIjCg (0:45 on)

Utah State's "Winning Team / Losing Team" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpT_FC44q0w

I will say that at this stage, Australian crowds haven't been as creative, but this level of involvement in the game is unreal!

6ers fans need to get something pumping for their home game in the GF series!

Doubtful Maxymoo, remember Anstey spent large amounts of his career pegging 3's from the top of the key.

He did OK, really has to learn how to use Morrison though.

There appears to be 12 plays designed to free up Goulding but 0 to get a half decent post entry.

Odd as Chris was a C you would think he would understand inside points means outside points.

Wortho needs to retire and Tomlinson is not good enough as a starter in this league.
Anstey.....overall a reasonable season but will need to show he is learning or next season will be his last.

Over rated coach he has an awesome players but game plan is shit on defensive game plan

I think he deserves another season and if he can get Dennis and keep Goulding then I think they could be anything (I tipped them to be beaten in the semis by Cairns) so they finished no worse than I expected.

Next season will be hugely telling and if they can't get their shot together come start of 2015 then they should be looking around or giving it to D-Mac but I think he deserves to see out his contract at this stage.

This is more gold from your clever coach Melbourne!

The measure of a really good coach can be attributed to his willingness to adapt. I'm not sure Anstey has the ability to think on his feet, and come up with that game winning solution on the spot.

I'm not sure if its a stubbornness to keep with the original game plan, or a lack of nous to throw out the play book and be imaginative.
