Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: A crazy 'sub' standard
YOU know flopping is banned at our weekly Time Out podcast with three-time NBL Coach of the Year Joey Wright and myself, but there's plenty to consider as we review some of the subbing that has borderline reached pandemic stages, with several NBL coaches afflicted.

Brad&Boti: We did see this axe falling
ADELAIDE Lightning reacted to another faltering WNBL campaign by wielding the axe and podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I dissect the decision at this week's Brad&Boti podcast, along with a deep visit to the NBL and a couple of clubs falling by the wayside.
WNBL: Thirst for Hurst bubble burst
WHEN is an assistant ready to step into a head coaching role? It's always a gamble but what club "moves on" a highly-successful head coach to replace him with a prospect who most importantly fills a gender-specific requirement? Adelaide Lightning did, and yesterday its experiment with Nat Hurst ended when she was sacked from her WNBL job.
NBL: Look out! We could soon be Bryceless
PERTH Wildcats wizard Bryce Cotton is going through an almost unbelievably extraordinary scoring phase, following last week's 59-point haul against NZ with a cool 40 in the loss to Illawarra, then another 49 in the road win at Adelaide for 148 points (average 49.3) in his past three games.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: A Great talks about the Greats
WITH regular podcast partner Joey Wright taking a well-earned break - our 25-minutes a week pod can be extraordinarily debilitating! - this round's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE features a very special guest panellist with whom I get to relive some of the very best of the NBL.
Brad&Boti: The birthday boy is back!
WE'RE back this week after a quick respite while Brad&Boti podcast co-host Brad Rosen recovered from his landmark milestone birthday celebrations. And we're not holding back. Should Adelaide Lightning fire coach Nat Hurst? Are the Perth Wildcats selfish?
NBL: The Bryce is Right ... and Sensational Too
IF he hadn't done it already, yesterday Perth Wildcats superstar Bryce Cotton cemented himself amid the NBL's all-time greats, topped James Crawford's club record for single-game points and turned on a magnificent, magical, memorable 59-point solo performance against New Zealand Breakers.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: No Brain at John Cain II
YES, Joey Wright and I have our views of what occurred in the NBL during and after the Melbourne-Adelaide melee and the fan fervour, and we don't really care if you're a United or 36ers fan when we address it at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.
Boomers good as Goulding
CHRIS Goulding today delivered a 3-point shooting bonanza for the ages, nailing a career-best 10 as Australia ultimately swamped South Korea 98-75 to qualify for next year's FIBA Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia. Goulding turned away Korea's comeback attempt as he swished 10-of-16 threes, plus a bonus free throw in his 31-point extravaganza.
