New Boom times ahead for Cotton
BRYCE Cotton, naturalised and as the Most Valuable Player in the NBL our current best Aussie playing domestically, finally will suit up as a Boomer when the national team takes on Guam and the Philippines in July's FIBA World Cup qualifying window, the matches ironically in Perth.
Well if Deano has a gig, what about Trev?
JAPAN's B-League appears to have beaten the 36ers to the punch, with Nagasaki now front-runner to secure multiple NBL championship coach Dean Vickerman and the Sixers back hoping to reunite superstar guard Bryce Cotton with his former Perth Wildcats mentor Trevor Gleeson.
Move aside Wellsy, Deano needs a job
DISENFRANCHISED Adelaide 36ers fans can prepare for truly heady days ahead with Mike Wells stepping down as coach today and triple NBL championship winning coach Dean Vickerman earmarked as his successor to take the club to the promised land. Even if it fails to materialise, it's an exciting prospect.

THIS is it folks. Our Grand Finale for NBL 2025-26 as Joey Wright and I relive the highs and lows of a season which promised so much and delivered plenty. Our Time Out: NO FLOP ZONE podcast delves into what made it great and what made it grate before we take a break from our Tasmanian cabin studio.
Bul and 36ers facing a challenge
ADELAIDE's decision to pursue and sign "D and 3" specialist Bul Kuol for the next two seasons is an interesting one considering the 36ers never had a clue how best to utilise their previous South Sudanese defensive-minded 3-point shooter Sunday Dech, who languished as a Sixer for five seasons.
DJ dials out but Hell's bells it's Wells
THE 36ers' decision to cut ties with one of its captains in Dejan Vasiljevic and join the pursuit for Torrey Craig's signature reinforces that underwhelming coach Mike Wells will indeed see out the final year of his NBL contract at Adelaide and the club will again be on a spending spree.
Master coach Goorjian in Adelaide next week

LESS than a fortnight after denying Adelaide 36ers their first NBL Championship in 24 years, Sydney Kings coach Brian Goorjian will return to the scene of the crime, exclusively for the benefit of West Adelaide Bearcats Basketball Club for a two-day series of clinics.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Mahersy's Grand Final take

JUST how good was the NBL's Championship Series between Sydney and Adelaide? With regular podcast colleague Joey Wright interstate, the 36ers' club legend Brett Maher sat in for a thorough in-depth examination of the Grand Finals at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast this week.
Good, Bad and the Ugly of a title run
ALL Hail Sydney! The Kings have now hit the NBL Championship for six but credit Adelaide too. Taking a best-of-five Grand Final to the fifth game and only then losing in overtime in itself was quite the feat. That really is going the (long) distance. Inevitably, the 36ers came up empty but no, Xavier Cooks wasn't the X-factor.
Petulant Prodigal produces as Kings reign supreme
EPIC. Classic. An all-time great. Call it what you will, the Sydney-Adelaide NBL championship today needed overtime before the Kings claimed their sixth crown, beating the 36ers 113-101 after the decisive Game 5 of the Grand Finals still was locked 95-95 at the end of regulation. Enter Kendric Davis.
