Under 17 Sapphires win World Cup
Had a stacked squad and excellent assistants - that said he delivered big time. All that from a coach the Flames thought was no good.

Must say Shannon Seebohm is the best coach I have seen for a while.Especially at his age.
Opals coach?

Really like the way the Melb.Boomers are structuring themselves - fantastic turnaround from almost folding.
Can't wait for the U/19's next year,will be harder but if we can play with anything like the same confidence WOW.

Cole, Garrick, smart, madgen, Conti maybe in the backcourt?
I think we are a top 3 team at u19s next year also.
Also, we could see horvat at uconn next year...

Congratulations to a fearless young champion.
I've been waiting years to see an Australian team play like these girls did in Spain.
Such a positive and confident display of TEAM basketball.
US were shellshocked and of course instead of saying how well the Aussies played they were all about how they had not performed the way they should have.
Thats becuase they play for themselves not each other.
Well done Sapphires


Conti picked up by Melbourne boomers.

Not sure..
Don't see why seebohm cant also do the u19 job.



This is the team i would choose to take.
I'm sure other people would disagree.
U19s
5'5 Conti 99 vic
5'6 Rocci 98 vic
5'8 Molloy 98 vic
5'9 Yaegar 98 sa
5'11 Simmons 99 nsw
6'0 Rowe 99 vic
6'1 Horvat 98 vic
6'1 Bibby 98 vic
6'3 Aokuso 98 qld
6'3 Tofeano 98 nsw
6'4 Magbegor 99 vic
6'5 Cochrane 00 vic
Thoughts?

Magbegor, Simmons & Cochrane 19s.
Magbegor, Shelley & Cochrane the future Opals.

Conti reminds me of harrower a bit.
I think all 3 players on the all tournament team will get an u19 spot when qualifiers start in a few months.
I would also prefer Magbegor ahead of burton in opals squad...


Great news, well done girls and to all the team, staff and of course those parents who provided so much to their daughters in effort, time and money so they could go and be the best in the world!
Awesome stuff...

Fantastic effort by the girls and the team management. Well done to all!

Has Aus basketball ever been in a better spot? Mens/Womens. So exciting for us fans. loving it!

I wonder if seebohm is going to coach the u19s...
Didn't goriss move on from Coe?
Congratulations to all involved!
Watching the ajc u16s.... It looks like where going to have a pretty good crop next time also.


Great job by all girls, and coaching staff,

Great work coaching staff! Hoping this places those coaches in good stead for the inevitable Opals staff re-shuffle that will be needed after Joyce is done mucking things up.

any word on the current camp ? been going for 3 days.
selections ? injuries? smokeys?
