Aye Claudia, the Jewel in Tassie's crown

WNBL championship-winning coach Claudia Brassard is back as head coach of the new Tasmania Jewels club after beating out a rich field which included names such as Chambers, Molloy and Herbert, the Sydney Olympian bringing more than a decade's worth of coaching experience to the role.

So what? Sowah at wire for Lynx triple jinx

A MASSIVE offensive rebound and assist by Chantel Horvat followed by a match tying 3-point bomb from Miela Sowah forcing overtime, tonight underpinned Townsville's fifth WNBL championship success when it rocked the Lynx 108-105 in Perth in one of the all-time great Grand Finals.

Caught in the Woods, Perth loses its way

COURTNEY Woods' Grand Final Game 1 tour de force tonight in front of a sold-out Townsville Entertainment Centre crowd underpinned a quality home victory and has sent the Perth Lynx crashing back to the whiteboard figuring out what their Plan B is when the 3-point shooters falter.

Brad&Boti: A week chock full of activity

THE WNBL Championship Series, upshot of the semis, end of the NBL regular season, the award announcements and Ignite Cup Final, the Boomers in FIBA action - Brad Rosen and I have plenty to ponder at this week's Brad&Boti podcast, and we get right down to it from tip-off!

Basketball rallying for great cause Saturday

Mic drop? Er, no. Final is Fire-Lynx, as expected

Brad&Boti: WNBL semis and NBL pointy end

IT'S semi final time in the WNBL but there was no surprise in either of the Game 1s in the best-of-three series between Townsville and Southside or Perth-Bendigo but there was plenty to contemplate from the penultimate NBL regular season round, so Brad Rosen and I did that at our Brad&Boti podcast.

Brad&Boti: At last! We can say We told You!

PODCAST partner Brad Rosen and I were feeling pretty chuffed this week, having long ago locked away the correct WNBL and NBL playoff teams and also selected Isobel Borlase to waltz home with the women's MVP. But that's just the tip of the iceberg of this week's Brad&Boti podcast.

Awards night a giant success for WNBL

BENDIGO Spirit guard and Paris Olympian Isobel Borlase tonight added to her growing list of accolades when she won the WNBL's Most Valuable Player award. In the process she joined Kristi Harrower (2010), Anneli Maley (2022) and Sami Whitcomb (2025) as only the club's fourth league MVP recipient.

Bit of a mess WNBL, now for awards, finals

THE first WNBL regular season under its new ownership concluded tonight in Townsville where the Fire ensured themselves of first place and a semi final against Southside, the defending champion Spirit to take on Han Xu and the Perth Lynx shooters in the rival semi series.
