Rick Burton Leaves NBL

[DoubleA]

For some better job...somewhere else.

Basically hes left the league with no major sponsor, a TV deal thats about to expire, and a team in the middle of nowhere, which strangely is where its roster also sits.

He did some good things, apparently which were done for him and not by him, but he did resurrect a bit of an interest in Basketball, but its awfully selfish to leave right now with the state the league, not to mention the sport in particular is in...so I say....

Good riddance.

good luck to him. hes an american at heart and wants to see his kids more. a job like that of the US Olympic Committee is a good job. lets face it, wed all take it.

There was an article in the west yesterday saying Vlahov is favourite to get the top job

That would be a bloody good pick. Can keep the seat warm for Mahersy

Honestly, it has to be him or Gaze, the position needs someone with credability and a name, not another unknown, Vlahov or Gaze could get sponsors with their names as CEO, IMO.

Absolutely – getting Andrew Vlahov as CEO of the NBL would be a step in the right direction; he has the name, reputation and education behind him.

He went to the University of Stanford and obtained a double degree in Business Management and Marketing.

Andrew Gaze has a Masters in lighthearted buffoonery.
