Hoops

Players changed rooming arrangements behind my back: Joey

Glen Rice who?
What a circus this has become.

Joey Wright needs to hit the mute button on his mouth and hope he can get another job let alone in sports.
This has quickly become a trainwreck for all involved.
No one who is speaking publicly from the organisation is salvaging their reputation in this. There are no winners.

I be keen to hear the other co captains thoughts. Teys surely needs to be asked questions and you think KB observations be interesting too. Also who in Admin was knowledgeable about the events. Reaction and actions. The ramifications just get more intriguing. .
Thought getting new coach would be the off season focus. Seems like now that's least of problems. Need a mother hen. Is situation beyond repair to the brand. Pity marketing trying to get naming sponsors. Trying to recruit players. Local and imports. And we laughed at the kiwis woes... fuck this be huge joke if wasn't so serious. No winners here. Like the season it's one complete fuck up. Fuck up more because of own doing.

Everything to me sounds like a few certain players just did their own thing. the results on the floor speak for themselves. Look at the loss to the Hawks. They beat the breakers in NZ, thought they were world beaters and they lost to the Hawks, they couldn't even get a rebound. They also had their pants pulled down by the Breakers at home too. Then when Randle and co decide to play team ball they go and beat Perth. I can remember hearing rumours of whinging when it was announced home base for training at Bearcats courts. The poor little pampered players wanted 5 star venue and treatment. I think some of these players are a bit soft and got together and just undermined everything. We'll see which players disappear I suppose.

"Implicit character assassination right there. Either by Wright towards White, or by poster towards Wright."

The interview is online at sen's website. You can form your own opinion

“Joey also said on the interview that he brought Kevin White in to be a leader of the team but he just stood back (for reasons he didn't want to disclose but that he indicated would be uncomfortable for Kevin if he revealed them)”. How accurate is this though???

If wright is right and he is right then white is wrong. But if white is right then wright is wrong. But I thought if right is wrong then it's left. So white is right and wright is left. But everyone says wright is gone guess because he is left. But if wright is right then white must be left.so that be white left right out.

That was so lame.

I don't know if Wright was wrong but if White was right then I don't want to be Wright

More like the time Isaac and Oscar switched Ferrari's.

Classy to the end.... Good on you Joey!!

Thought players would get their own rooms these days? I guess it could be a bonding thing, surely not related to saving money?

Just my opinion but I think Joey should be careful about what he spits to the media; I don't know if it realises it but these types of stories actually reflect worse on him more than anybody else. It's like shooting yourself in the foot.

From the ABC:

Wright and the club "mutually agreed" to part ways on Wednesday evening, after seven years at the helm.

Yesterday he spoke to the ABC about the club's culture.

"Everyone that knows me knows what kind of culture person I am," Wright said.

"If there was anybody setting culture rules there and wanting to abide by them, it's me.

"That's probably one of my downfalls.

"I'm too hardcore about keeping culture the way it's supposed to be and doing the things you're supposed to."

Ha! I'm sure Joey is getting a good laugh out of today's events.

"This example actually shows petulance from the players. If they can't follow a simple request of rooming with certain teammates then it speaks a lot about their own maturity."

Then punish them for it appropriately. Don't just be a passive aggressive dick. This wouldn't fly at any other club.

Joey also said on the interview that he brought Kevin White in to be a leader of the team but he just stood back (for reasons he didn't want to disclose but that he indicated would be uncomfortable for Kevin if he revealed them).

So the HC had so little authority he couldn't even manage to get these blokes to adhere to sleeping arrangements.

Sounds like a leadership failure to me. You know... The thing the HC is responsible for.

One round to go. Just about every game is huge. We know who will be 1 and 2, but who sneaks in to the final two spots?
