36ers on the rise, with a bullet
THERE'S a certain sweet irony about the fact the Brisbane Bullets overlooked their NBL championship-winner CJ Bruton for the role of the club's post-Andrej Lemanis coach, he bounced back to mentor the Adelaide 36ers and today they square off in the Blitz Final for the Loggins-Bruton Cup.
The perfect stocking stuffer
THANK you very much from the bottom of my heart to the people already purchasing copies of my basketball-based memoir "A Type of Life" which, I am reliably informed, has been flying off the shelves at Dymocks.
B&B: From the court to the screen

WE sat down this week for one of our favourite interviews, Brad Rosen and I doing a "blast from the past" session with the one and only Wayne McDaniel, a former NBL import who excelled at Adelaide 36ers, Geelong Supercats, Newcastle Falcons and Hobart Tassie Devils. We covered a lot of ground in our Brad&Boti podcast.
And yes, unfortunately we've stayed offline
APOLOGIES to regular readers and visitors here but as you will have noticed, your author has stayed out of commission for several weeks despite promising the website's imminent return. Sadly it's been the result of a series of back spasms that laid me out for several weeks and kept my chiropractor extremely busy.
B&B: Play it again Sam
THE NBL's newest franchise, the Tasmania Jack Jumpers has the Apple Isle loving basketball again and this week Brad Rosen and I caught up with one of the club's first and most significant signings, championship-winning guard Sam McDaniel for our Brad&Boti podcast.
We scored BB at B&B this week!
BRAD Rosen and I could barely contain our excitement (and particularly Brad here) to have as our guest on the Brad&Boti podcast, one of the all-time great "blasts from the past" in NBL championship winner and close personal friend of the late NBA Commissioner David Stern, the one and only Bruce Bolden.
Apologies for the temporary delay...
DEAR regulars, apologies for the recent lack of B.O.T.I. coverage but have had a lot on the old plate. One daughter's wedding and marriage, another one's birthday, the imminent release of my memoir. In the meantime, great basketball stuff has been piling up but back on deck now and will start clearing those same decks shortly!
B&B: A sit down with Mr Bruton
HE's been everywhere man - everywhere in Australian basketball that is, and Brad Rosen and I could not have been more delighted to secure Cal Bruton for our Brad&Boti podcast this week. Yes, it's Cal's birthday today which is a lovely coincidence because we really wanted to get into the nitty gritty of his life here.
B&B: NBL Wrap2 (Bne,Cns, Mel, NZ, Per)
PAST Sydney Kings captain Brad Rosen and I took some time to look over the remaining five NBL teams we didn't cover last time, for a rapidfire Brad&Boti podcast this week.
Bob's Corner: Lauren inducted and Kareem's new record

BOB'S CORNER: Our U.S. correspondent BOB CRAVEN, a former import who starred in ACT and NSW during the Sixties, has more to add to Lauren Jackson's recent Hall of Fame induction and an on-court record Kareem Abdul-Jabbar helped end, six years after he retired as a player.
