Rob Beveridge to Coach Southland Sharks in NZNBL
Thanks guys, I’ll have a look for that podcast.

I think been told not to play Cody Ellis was the start of a strained relationship with the owner.
That was the previous owner Spenceley I think?

there was a really good interview with bevo on one of basketball podcasts mid off season. I'm pretty sure it was aussie hoopla. he talks about his move away from the gong and almost getting the Kings head coaching job. Well worth a listen.

Pretty sure Bevo still had a year left on his contract with the Hawks when he quit at the end of last season so probably has to sit out for a season.
Smart move to coach in NZ though the Breakers are unstable and who knows Shamir could quit and go back to Israel at any point and he would be settled in over there and know the lay of the land by that point.

Anyone have any insight into why Bevo has been passed over by NBL teams recently as a coaching option? Are his methods just outdated?

Agree, but I think the Aussies will have their work cut out for them a little more if Bevo was at the helm of NZ.

Bevos style of play goes hand in hand with the stuff NZ bball has been rolling out for years, if he coaches the tall blacks it would be a great fit and would be great to see him with the underdog tag in the international game, Tall Blacks vs Boomers would be a great rivalry to watch.

I could definitely handle Beveridge as Tall Blacks coach, he always comes across as being very resourceful which would lend itself will given sometimes we struggle with player availability and they like. They were floating a few ideas around on Overtime, Fearne was another one among some local options (Pero, McMains etc.). Beveridge did get a mention too I think.

A great pick up for the franchise.
He will e very beneficial for them and you never know what may happen.

Wonder if the decision by Ben Allen to sign at Mt Gambier to play SEABL has anything to do with him pushing for a spot on the 36ers roster next season?
