Seriously - How Many decent Players Come Out Of The AIS into the NBL?

The AIS is overrated and a joke - all decent players bypass it and head straight overseas, the AIS does help produce some good players - but a lot of people come out and don't even come close to NBL standard

Don't forget Phil has been over rided and limited on his player choices by management above him for the last couple years.

Problem is that we currently have three of four key players in a bit of a slump at the moment, which can happen even with the best coaches and management - unfortunaltely we have multiple players in a slump.

Adelaide people are so picky - we often hear voter polls that put Dusty or Willie as one of the top imports, Maher as the best point guard, Maher and Willie as the best front court duo, Foreman best 6th Man, Holmes most improved and Phil as best coach. We have a lot of other teams envious ... yet we lose a couple of games and we want to fire them all.

Things could be worse - we could be like West Sydney playing a completely differnet team that the start of the year!

As much as I love Phil and his relaxed, free flowing coaching style, (I have played Senior District under a Phil type coach and a screaming, abusing coach like Boy-Gorg, and I have always found most people play better long term under a Phil type coach and have more loyalty to there teams), I would love to see him do a Malcolm Blight and blast Cooper or someone as a one off when they do something stoopid to put some fire in there belly.

End of the day - we are third on the ladder - so we will make the finals - which is another whole ball game again
