Smyth, Sixers to part

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,23160249-12428,00.html

After 11 season and 3 championships the Adelaide 36ers and Phil Smyth will part ways at seasons end.

This Saturdays nights home game will be his last home game.

End of an era, time for some new blood.

He may still re-apply for the job. Seems the win over Cairns has brought back his desire and passion for coaching.

I know and he is still entitled to apply for the job but he will not be the coach next year, unless something major happens in the next few weeks. (Like no one applying)

Mal Hemmerling may give him an office job promoting the club but 99.9% sure he will not be the coach.
 
Three-peat for Hodge

Exciting Adelaide 36ers import Julius Hodge has become the first player in season 2007/08 of the HUMMER Championship to win the NBL Player of the Week award three consecutive times after being named winner of the honour in Round 21.

Hodge, who also was the NBL’s Player of the Week in rounds 19 and 20, snared the award after leading the Adelaide 36ers to an upset 113-104 win over the Cairns Taipans at the Distinctive Homes Dome on Saturday.

The American guard was once more within a whisker of recording a triple-double after scoring 31 points and adding 14 rebounds and nine assists. He also added one steal and one block while shooting 14-of-21 from the field. His efforts, apart from thrilling the bonanza crowd of 7,009 who packed the Dome, also helped rekindle the 36ers playoff hopes by denying the Taipans the single victory they need to wrap up eighth position on the ladder and the remaining NBL Finals berth.

Hodge becomes just the second player this season after Melbourne Tigers star and MVP candidate Chris Anstey to win three weekly awards and the first to win them back-to-back-to-back.

How many times has a player won 3 straight POTW awards in NBL history? I doubt it's very many. I'm guessing less than 5

He's only been in the country 6 weeks or so. GUN. :thumbsu:

beasting

nbl is just too easy for him.

i'd re-sign phil smyth if we could retain him.

I think that a pack of crappolla.

I think he will go try an NBA veteran’s camp then sign with Adelaide. I don’t honestly believe Phil will not have a say in what he does.
 
he obviously is going to go play in a summer league and if the re-sign him then they'll obviously put an NBA clause contract like they did with Newley.

but if he doesn't make the NBA... i'm sure the 36ers would be his next preferance. And also like many other players, he loves Phil Smyth.
 
think its the first time in history that someone has won three player of the week. Hodge has been handy for the 36ers for the last 11 games

If anyone even noticed, the Sixers finished the season on a high with a 126-97 win over Singapore on Wednesday night. Julius I believe had 29/10/4. Doubt he'll get a 4th straight POTW.

Going by the news report, if Julius doesn't get picked up in the NBA, he'll be back with the 36ers next season!!! :D:D
 
if you are going by stats alone
Julius should have won his 4th POW in a row
he got 29 points 10 rebs 4 assists 4 steals 12/18 fg (67%)
Redhage won the award with
23.5 points 8.5 rebs 3.5 assists 1 steal 20/37 fg (54%)
Julius is a freak
he is too good to play in the NBL but i hope like hell that he doesn't make the NBA cos the sixers could be a force next year with him and Ballinger
we beat Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns x2 with him in the team
we lost by only 5 points against Melbourne
Lost by only 2 against Perth away
these are the top 5 teams (we didn't play townsville) so we have shown we can beat or trouble the best so now just have to beat the lower to middle of the line teams that we tend to struggle against and we will definitely make the playoffs and even maybe top 4

Sixers coaching field 'at four'

BOTI NAGY
February 26, 2008 12:00am

THE Adelaide 36ers expect to reveal a new NBL coach by the weekend with Rob Beveridge and Scott Ninnis among leading contenders.

Phil Smyth, who interviewed for the position on Saturday with assistant Steve Breheny, is unlikely to continue in the job he held for 11 years, including championship wins in 1998-99-02.

Beveridge interviewed for the coveted position 12 days ago, as did Ninnis. They were among a huge field of applicants which surprised even 36ers owner Mal Hemmerling.

"I was stunned but also very enthused by the amount of interest," Hemmerling said, saying he expected to name the coach by the weekend after follow-up interviews this week.

"We had a huge response from inside and outside the country, from Europe, the CBA and national coaches of some countries.

"It reflects a strong interest in where basketball is going."

Hemmerling would not divulge any names but said the field was down to "four or five". He confirmed Smyth's interview and said he had been buoyed by the club's high profile. "The 36ers obviously are a very strong brand name," he said.

Beveridge took an Australian under-20 team including Andrew Bogut and Brad Newley to the junior world championship gold medal and was assistant Boomers coach at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

He made his NBL debut in the Hummer Championship with West Sydney, drawing the Razorbacks from the bomb shelter to 10th behind Adelaide with a 10-20 record.

Ninnis, 42, won three NBL championships, one SEABL title and four State league titles as a player before Smyth brought him into his coaching team in 1999.

He won two State championships as Sturt coach and was an assistant in 271 NBL games at Adelaide - including the 1999 and 2002 championships - Townsville and South.

Sixers operations manager Paul Bauer, part of the interview panel with Hemmerling, businessman Sam Shahin and Basketball SA chief executive Mark Hubbard, said 10 candidates had made it to the interview stage.

And I believe the 4th person on the list is former New Zealand All Back coach Tad Baldwin but he is a major outsider at this stage.
 
Sounds like we're gonna get Rod Beveridge, but I'd be waiting to see if the Sydney Kings fold, and if they do, make a run at Brian Goorijan, as much as dislike him, he's a brilliant coach (even though I don't think his players understand a word he says).
 
Why would Goorijan want to go from the Kings, to the 36ers? Other than being tired of winning, I can't see a logical reason for it. More likely to be with the Dragons, unless Sydney stays in the league next season, then we're a small chance of keeping him. Probably a 25% chance, at best.
