Dear FIBA, you owe Australia an apology
DEAR FIBA, You owe Basketball Australia, the Australian Boomers and the Australian public an apology.
Good morning, friends - it's Boomer time
THE intragroup stage may be over but before we move on to the wee hours of Monday morning, it would be remiss to not revisit the Boomers' best moments from the Group D games.
It's a lottery - the answer for FIBA
IF FIBA genuinely has any stake in ensuring its international events are pristine and played with no foxing - let alone fixing - then it needs to revisit its post-intragroup stage.
Boomers just played it smart
LET'S get something really straight here. Losing to Angola tonight did not in any way guarantee the Boomers a third-place finish at the FIBA World Cup.
WW - 36ers V Breakers, February 7, 2009
WAYBACK Wednesday was a weekly feature I wrote last season for Adelaide 36ers website, which now you can revisit, see for the first time or completely ignore!
Blitz - 17 days and counting
THE NBL’s preseason Blitz in Brisbane is 17 days away but the draw is out and excitement is building.
LJ out and times they are a'changin'
LAUREN Jackson quietly undergoing hip surgery today on top of her knee rehabilitation delays may finally be signalling the inevitable changing of the Opals guard.
Cole would have raised the Boom!
CAN’T help thinking it would have been a great investment for Basketball Australia to have flown Ken Cole into the Boomers camp ahead of the World Cup opener against Slovenia.
Lithuania now the big challenge
YES, that was a lot more like it. The Boomers looked like the team they want to be as they demolished Korea 89-55 in their second World Cup game in Gran Canaria.
USA shows how you do it
UM, yes. That's how you do it. The USA sent a powerful message to opponents at the FIBA World Cup with its 114-55 win over Finland to start its campaign.
