Joey Wright fined $5k for league comments

Joey's comments didn't warrant a fine. He merely told it as it is. What annoyed the NBL(LK) is that the comments embarrassed them. They were not going to sit back and do nothing about it even though it was the truth.

It's a bra and girdle in one.

... and why are his shirts so tight?

Because Joey asked nicely.

So they should. This is far from the first time he has said something stupid post-match.

Has he got Boti to write his defense yet?

Hang on, people actually listen to anything joey Wright has to say anymore? I’m a big 36er fan, but find him painfully embarrassing.

paul, I think there's a pretty clear difference between saying the refs made errors and saying the refs were in the pocket of one of the teams.

So Joey is on the brink of another finals brain-fart, but of course all his fanboys must jump to his defence.
This a professional adult league, his hysterics achieve nothing.

Yes, you’re right. The league should actually be giving Joey $5000 for dropping truth bombs!

What if he was right? Every chance he was and LK will never admit that he employs refs that really shouldn't be paid to ref at that level.

If you want to offer something substantial, how about using a moniker?

Goulding covered his tracks well enough I guess. Joey just blatantly accused th league of cheating. Yet some Adelaide fans turn this in to something about Gleeson to deflect attention from Wright’s continuous bitching.

Plus Goulding actually 'said' that his team was at fault for 'not adjusting'. He was obviously being sarcastic but he didn't actually say the refs were giving his side a raw deal

Goulding suggested the reffing was uneven at halftime of game 2. Wright suggested the refereeing in game 1 was influenced by LK’s control of the league and United. Massive difference.

Why even make a stupid comment like the buffet thing. Not needed at all. Grow up if that's possible.

know*

The one thing I now for certain is he has definitely threatened a few buffets going by his figure.

There is no evidence that Gleeson threatened a ref. Did the ref report him? Did the league investigate?

I would suggest that chip on Joey's shoulder is what fuels both himself and the team's intensity. I'm not saying he's a great X's and O's coach but no other coach in the league would've been able to get this team into the GF especially after losing the league MVP in the offseason.

Look at last season a roster most people expected to finish near the bottom of the ladder and they finished top of the table.

Joey is a great coach but needs to get his chip off his shoulders. That type of stress gives you heart attacks,

Gleeson gets away with everything. Threatening a ref is another to add to the long list. How does this grub survive, he got exposed this season plus his appauling behaviour how is he not out? Joey also needs to chill out but Gleeson is by far the worst behaved coach.

"No?"

LOL! Isaac it was a long time ago but when he was in charge of the Bullets he wasn't grumpy like now.

And to think two of these guys are full time ref's.. Laughable!

Remmeber when Joey wasn't so grumpy?

Remmeber when Joey wasn't so grumpy?

Yeah Goulding should probably cop some sort of fine too, being a Melbourne player though its unlikely

So clearly the fine has nothing to do with the refs and everything to do with the conflict of interest insinuation.

He loves it.

So worth the $5K. Was a funny moment

riddle me this - district games this Friday, the St Clair carnival starts and Sixers at home.Tell me which car park be easiest to get a park ?
because sadly the interst level i am feeling at moment in Sixers might be rewarded with a few quiet chillers in the Woodville Road carpark and a bit of old fashion grass root basketball at the Clair.

at less carpark is free and basketball be competitive with plenty of passion.
