homicide back next year?

I'd be fine with him if they kept him out of commentary (and didn't have the whole broadcast revolve around his Twitter account). Give him a YouTube show, let him go on Twitter, have him on at half time or on the weekly Fox show. Send him to various other panel shows like Bill & Boz, etc. Just keep him out of commentary.

Couldn't stand him early in the season, and complained a lot about him on here. Still do to an extent. But I have warmed to him towards the end of the season and thought his banter with Redhage ended up being highly entertaining. He has good chemistry with him, and doesn't mind a bit of harmless arguing for entertainment sake. He's not as good outside of Perth but he has grown on me.

Would love for him to tone down a lot of the crap he goes on about (eg the New York streetball talk, fantasy talk, his top 5, 'Im telling you' etc etc). But he has some value too and wouldnt be annoyed if he came back. He's definately not boring!

corey + redhage is one of the few examples of when 2 wrongs actually do make a right

Going home to take care of grown man business!

In fairness if he were confined to Perth home games where he meshes well with Redhage with the added backdrop of the rivalry he has with all things Perth it would be great to see that continue.

It's when he commentates outside of Perth that he tries too hard and his shtick becomes annoying.

I cannot wait for Friday night Perth Games after work winding down the week listening to Corey and Redhage on the Mic together.

Worth every cent.

Easily on 400k, that’s the new NBL average according to many forum users

He gets current basketball fans talking...there is no evidence that he is doing anything to promote the league to others.

Totally agree with # 258
Been very good for the league re publicity.

He gets peopled involved and creates good exposure for the league. Honestly i love him and i doubt he would give one F about what koberulz thinks about him.

Homicide is easily the worst commentator in NBL history.

Well, Homicide isn"t the best or worst! Some of the announcers are very turnoffish. Sometimes Homicide makes sense and sometimes he is chringeworthy.

NBL has said they want him back, he says he wants to be back, he'll be back. He;s just leaving Australia to go home for a bit now that the season is over, hence the goodbye. It's a known fact he's trying for Aussie citizenship and he wouldn't be doing that if there wasn't a solid chance he has a job here.

Depends if he gets hired for new TV deal.

Gibson, who also won the weekly honours in Round 11, led his team to a strong 92-78 victory over the Tigers on Saturday night at the Gold Coast Convention Centre (AKA ‘The Furnace’).

The nuggetty point guard from Tasmania scored a round-high 23 points, as well as adding seven rebounds and three assists.

Gibson shot the ball at 62% from the field, connecting on 10-of-16 shots, and was big down the stretch. He had nine points in the fourth quarter alone to help the Blaze seal the win and move within striking distance of a spot in the four.

Others considered for Player of the Week for Round 16 included Todd Blanchfield (Townsville), Cedric Jackson (New Zealand), Oscar Forman (Wollongong), Stephen Weigh (Adelaide), Mark Worthington (Gold Coast), Luke Nevill (Perth), Anatoly Bose (Sydney), Ronald Dorsey (Melbourne), Shawn Redhage (Perth), Alex Loughton (Cairns) and Jerai Grant (Sydney).
