Kings sign Tom Wilson

Shame he can't do it in a shitty seabl side. Yet Kings/ Hawks former DP Indianna Faithful had a triple dub the other night.

"Hardly worth a thread for a DP"

He's a fully-contracted player. The Kings post says nothing about him being a DP

Pouring out a drink to drown your sorrows already?

I'll pour one out for this signing

Not the best but not that poor considering who he's replacing. Almost like for like since both are very offensively oriented players. What Wilson brings with size & speed is offset by his inexperience.

Probably a bit cheaper than Cadee so the Kings can comply with that 5 players non-stacking rule. Of the 2 restricted & 3 locals roster spots left, the Kings have to find another 3 'budget' players so the scenario is they can only sign 1 stud local & 1 stud import.

Don't be surprised if they have to sign guys like Mitch Young, Jarrod Kenny & even entertain the return of Singh to comply with the rules. Still not clear if the new 12th rising star spot will count towards that aggregate limit.

Pour signing, will be interesting to see this outcome.

What safeguards are there in place to ensure the coach of a basketball team, ABL to juniors, is skilled in the field of physical conditioning?
What presumptions can parents make about their coach who has players doing a hundred sit ups and push ups at a training session?
Has BSA or B A ever released a guideline for physical conditioning for every age group in basketball?
Is their any continuity for physical preparation between clubs that ensures maximum results with minimum risks?
It seems like the less skilled the coach the harder the physical activities insisted upon by that coach.
I would be interested in how clubs devise their physical conditioning program. It would be interesting to see if a link existed between professional conditioning and success/lower injury rates.Do any clubs have experts in the field of physical conditioning prepare their trainings?
S A Basketball has long been accused of over-training its better athletes through a combination of lack of understanding between coaches of SASI/club etc that sees demands placed on those athletes go beyond common sense.
On the surface people in charge of both kids and adults don't seem to have a good grasp of what physical conditioning should look like.
Basketball seems locked in the dark ages with an, 'it was good enough for me', 'never hurt me' and an 'I survived" attitude that is out of place today. Make player work with intensity and hard, make them sweat and give a hundred percent but make sure you know what you are doing.
