Robyn's FIBA Hall induction creates family first
FIBA's decision to induct former long-term Australian Opals captain Robyn Maher into its Hall of Fame in Switzerland this week marks a magnificent and unprecedented milestone. With Rob joining husband Tom in the Hall, FIBA now has its historic first wife-husband combination.
Rd3 WNBL23: Home cooking a serious issue
NO-ONE is likely to argue the peripherals of the WNBL have no correlation with the realities of the high standard ball we see on court. Not having a WNBL app, easily the worst TV production values ever seen on the 9NOW coverage and the long-term bug-bear of funding (or lack thereof) leaving many home-town officials calling games.
B&B: Boomers, Isaac, WNBL and more
BRAD Rosen and I have a couple of big interviews coming up next week but in the meantime, we couldn't let so many huge events of the past week go by unmentioned in our Brad&Boti podcast. It started with Josh Giddey and continued with Isaac Humphries, the Boomers and Tianna Hawkins.
WNBL Rd3: Townsville 'bigs' under fire

TOWNSVILLE Fire stud Tianna Hawkins looked a million dollars last week, lighting up Adelaide to the tune of 33 points and 10 boards. But in Round 3 of the WNBL, she runs up against a visiting Southside frontcourt which may rank as one of the deepest of all time.
Rd2 WNBL23: Fire, Spirit setting the pace
EVERYONE following the WNBL had a fair idea going in that Southside would be the benchmark but it has been Townsville and Bendigo off to flawless starts which has the competition buzzing. And while the Boomers were hanging their 2022 championship banner, 0-3 Adelaide also was showing it is in the race, regardless of record.
B&B: Unsung coaching heroine is back Down Under
A FORMER captain of the Canberra Capitals, a WNBL championship winner in Adelaide Lightning's greatest ever team and one of our most unsung yet successful international coaches, Cherie Cordoba joins Brad Rosen and I for our Brad&Boti podcast. But let's face it. You most likely remember her as Cherie Hogg or Hoggy.
WNBL Rd2: Time to watch Flames erupt
A FIRST-round bye means this weekend will be the first chance for WNBL fans to take a good look at Sydney Flames and it will be a challenging opening match for them against the 2-0 Spirit in Bendigo, who already have Kelsey Griffin and Anneli Maley flying, and Kelly Wilson directing traffic.
Rd1 WNBL23: Quality, and in quantity
WHAT a sizzling start the WNBL enjoyed across its five Round 1 games, winning teams averaging 99.4ppg and three scoring 100+ points! And it wasn't on the back of defence being a casualty. It was just some great basketball, Lauren Nicholson topping the individual bill with a round-high 35-point haul.
Spirits raised to help flood-hit local community
NEW Bendigo Spirit coach Kennedy Kereama will coach his first home game on Sunday against the WNBL club he previously helmed, Perth Lynx - formerly West Coast Waves - but more importantly, the club will host families from local flood-stricken regions and feature a host of fund-raising events for the flood affected.
B&B: Run towards pressure and expectations
THE most challenging gig in elite coaching? Inheriting a defending champion. And that is exactly what Chris Lucas is faced with as the new head coach of WNBL champion Melbourne Boomers, largely why Brad Rosen and I were keen to interview him for this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
