Lucky or unlucky 13th for CJ?
THE Adelaide 36ers today formalised the news we broke here exclusively on Tuesday that CJ Bruton will be the club's new NBL coach. His appointment is for the next three seasons (at least), succeeding sacked former mentor Conner Henry.
Bruton on Sixers' short list
READY for an NBL head coaching opportunity after being overlooked for the obvious gig in Brisbane, former Bullets assistant CJ Bruton has firmed as the main target of the Adelaide 36ers for the 2021-22 season and beyond.
B&B: 36ers coach revisits his past
ADELAIDE 36ers are in the market for a new NBL coach, so Brad Rosen and I tracked down Scott Ninnis, who won two championships with the club as a player and returned as head coach for two years, to hear what he had to say on our Brad&Boti podcast. We went down Memory Lane as well as a stint in the present.
Conner a goner in latest reshuffle
SACKING coaches is nothing new in team sport but after assembling another revamped Adelaide 36ers' NBL roster, maybe it's time the club's GM of basketball, Jeff Van Groningen stepped up to actually coach some of these players he routinely recruits.
B&B: Mitch on why he's a 36er, and much more
PODCAST partner Brad Rosen and I put NBL championship point guard Mitch McCarron through the "griller" in this week's Brad&Boti session, exploring a basketball journey which now brings him to SA and the Adelaide 36ers for the next three seasons. But he's already been to more interesting places than you'd ever guess.
B&B: CG43 adds a maiden medal to the resume
UNLESS you're a Melbourne United fan and you've loved him for years, dual-Olympian and now Bronze Medal winner Chris Goulding can be a polarising yet compelling character. But as Brad Rosen and I found for our Brad&Boti podcast, winning the Rose Gold in Tokyo hit the spot for CG43 as it did for every Aussie basketball fan.
B&B: Reliving Bronze with the great Danny Morseu
THE Boomers' Bronze Medal success at the Tokyo Olympics and Patty Mills' performance moved us all, not the least of which his uncle, dual-Olympic basketballer Danny Morseu. Who better for Brad Rosen and I to talk with at our Brad&Boti podcast than the great man himself, his links including our original indigenous Olympian Michael Ahmatt.
Boomers: Idle BA must cash in now!
BASKETBALL Australia needs to move like greased lightning to cash in on the national pride the Boomers have captured and seize full advantage of the small window of their Olympic Bronze popularity. Give it another week or two and Patty Mills and the team's exploits will be forgotten.
FTF: Erin, Sunday to top the bill
MULTIPLE WNBA, WNBL and AFLW championship and premiership winner Erin Phillips and South Sudanese-born Adelaide 36ers all-rounder, dual-NBL champion Sunday Dech top the bill for this month's Free Throw Foundation lunch at the Highway Hotel.
B&B: Boom times with Mahersy
WITH the Tokyo Games now in full swing, Brad Rosen and I sought out another triple-Olympian to discuss the comings-and-goings, finally securing our top priority in Brett Maher for this week's Brad&Boti podcast. No, we're not spruiking the magnificent book "Mahervellous" but he sure has some great yarns to spin.
