Random dribbling: Rankings #18
YES, it is still the United Nations-mandated "Good News Week" so starting this "Random dribble" by throwing out the hearty cheers to Gary Ervin, Andrej Lemanis, Rachel Jarry and Cedric Jackson on their individual accolades this week.

Around Round 15
NEW Wollongong replacement import Malcolm Grant will make his debut on Australia Day against reigning NBL champion New Zealand at The Sandpit.
FLASHBACK 13: October, 2001
*FLASHBACKS, my weekly "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.
Random dribbling: Rankings #15
LIKE many Adelaide 36ers fans, I would love 1986 championship coach Ken Cole to pull off his ambitious plan to buy the NBL club.
