Devo re Bevo? It's wild out west
LET'S start by reiterating the first thing Rob Beveridge said to me today (after "G'day") and that was reports of his imminent departure after four years in Perth were premature in the extreme.
Best moment, 2012
WHEN Lizzie Cambage caught the ball near the foul-line, drove and threw down a slam dunk, I literally jumped out of my lounge-chair.
Random Dribbling: It's official
IT'S official. Marty Clarke will not be continuing beyond the three years he already has held the NBL reigns of the 36ers.
NBL Semi Finals 2
MAKE no mistake. With their respective teams each only one win away from an encore showdown in the NBL Grand Final, Andrej Lemanis and Rob Beveridge both know they are likely auditioning for the Boomers coaching job.
