Hawks to announce Brian Goorjian as coach

Those Webster NBL contracts dont seem very binding.

Has Goorj coached any decent players in China who may follow him to the NBL?

Whoah, imagine Moller under Goorjian's tutelage. Mind blown. The rest of the league has just dodged a bullet.

Cook could opt out if kings are happy with him going to hawks, or if Cooks goes to kings Moller could also ask for a release and go to hawks.

Cooks opt out of Sydney contract with the new rule over covid 19, which means he can go play somewhere overseas if he chooses.If he stays in the NBL his is still contracted to Sydney for however long his contract was. So Cooks will either play overseas or with Sydney if he stays

The Australian based part-owner Dorry Kordahi is friends with Boris Diaw who was in Sydney last November.I saw a photo of them on his facebook or twitter.

Because they're a professional basketball team that’s supposed to be composed of 10+ players. Jesus Christ

Worst best kept secret for a while.

Mercury Sports on Twitter:

Exclusive: Hawks (formerly @IllawarraHawks) to announce Brian Goorjian as new @NBL coach.

Damn I was hoping it was true. Moment he confirms it you know it’s not true lol

It was reported on Win news that an announcement will be made in the next fourty eight hours,so by Wednesday afternoon.

The Hawks would like to thank Matt Flinn for his time with the team.

We also like to welcome Brian Goorjian to the team, we really excited to see what this team can achieve with a basketball coach.

Maybe Ball was so high profile that you had to give him minutes and the keys to the offence whether the coach believed in him or not.

No coach in his right mind is going to hand over the keys to a 17/18 year old kid for long, especially if the losses start mounting.

Ask the Taipans.

The nbl forced Illawarra to take those imports, that’s why it took so long to get them. Illawarra wanted to just continue with the young guys and the then owner didn’t want to spend any money so they got those two useless guys. It HAD NOTHING to with coach Flinn.
Kelly was given a second chance, Flinn probably deserves it as well despite all the no all knockers.

If you are the New Owners of the Hawks, would you retain a coach that took the team to the bottom of the ladder last season?

That was partly responsible for recruiting some of the worst imports in this league's history?

Just do like the United did with the Tigers and get rid of all connections to Illawarra, except for the banner and retired singlets to tease the 16 fans they have.

Flint is gone, been offered some admin role, not certain he’ll take it. I’d say a broom is going through the place. If supporters don’t turn up this side will end up being the second Sydney side.

The same Illawarra Mercury that reported Ball was a done deal.

Illawarra Mercury:

The new Hawks ownership group is poised to announce its first major coup, with whispers growing louder that six-time championship-winning coach Brian Goorjian is set to join the foundation club.

Sad to see the Knicks going back to the bad old days.

Carmelo hitting 18 of 59 in the last few games, and taking really poor shots instead of dishing it out to someone in a better position, according to an NBA show I watched last night.

Stuff-all ball movement, Melo trying to save the day, ... sounds like we need another bit of Linsanity.


Could the Celtics become the first team to win a series from 0-3 down?
