Do we Need a European Coach?
Let’s go one step further, rjd.
Let’s have a Boomers coaching group consisting of an Aussie coach with lots of international experience, an experienced NBL coach to manage the NBL players, a COE coach to mange up-and-coming young players, an experienced Euro coach for against Euro teams AND an experienced ex-NBA coach for against athletic tall players such as the US usually sends out.
Simples.

Must be how we beat Lithuania. So we are looking for a new coach of French/Spanish/Serbian descent to take over from Lemanis for the medal games.


Lemanis is Latvian. Must be the secret to his success.

Need a Serbian coach.



Thank you Paul and Luuuc you gave me a good laugh after a sad day for boomers fans. :::)))))

Very phallic, Luuc


"Makes sense when the 3 medalists are from Europe."Argentina has been in Europe ever since Manu Ginobili invented the Eurostep.
I'll let Argentina know.

"Makes sense when the 3 medalists are from Europe."
I'll let Argentina know.

Picking a coach based on geography? Then wanting that geographical region to be somewhere that the fewest Boomers actually play?
Silly

Makes sense when the 3 medalists are from Europe.That's not true.
Further, the silver medallists didn't even have an NBA player, given Scola plays in China. Plus he's 39 years old which would've had some Australian fans clamouring for youth in his place.
We finished ahead of almost 10 Euro teams (depending on how you want to assess Russia, Turkey, etc). Swap Broekhoff for Gliddon and I think we would've won gold, though obviously other teams could play a similar hypothetical game.

Brian Goorjian's record as Boomers head coach:
9th | 2004 Athens Olympics
9th | 2006 Japan World Cup
7th | 2008 Beijing Olympics
Brett Brown's record as Boomers head coach:
10th | 2010 Turkey World Cup
7th | 2012 London Olympics
Just saying...

In every world cup since it began in the 1950s, a team that wears red, white and/or blue has medalled. Clearly we need to change the colour of our uniforms.
