NBL|WNBL: Regional clubs dominate as 2024 turns to 2025

REGIONAL clubs playing team-first basketball are dominating the NBL and WNBL, Illawarra today drawing a sell-out 5,462 fans to WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong to see it crush Perth, while Bendigo continues to lead the WNBL despite two unexpected setbacks this round.
WNBL: Perth spirit away hopes as Lightning fly
ON the one hand, it rarely pays to celebrate prematurely as the Spirit were reminded by Perth and on the other, it's "welcome to the WNBL" to Scott Ninnis as coach of an Adelaide Lightning which lost import playmaker Japreece Dean to a broken finger but still held off Southside in his coaching debut.
Brad&Boti: Key WNBL moves and another Bryce bonanza

PLAYERS, coaches on the move - the WNBL has had a big week and over in the NBL, that man Bryce Cotton has just kept on keeping on, delighting Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and Perth Wildcats fans. There is much on which to pontificate with all these comings and goings.
WNBL: It's Great Scott, 17 years later

LONG before he suffered the ignominy of being unceremoniously sacked as Adelaide 36ers NBL coach, Scott Ninnis revealed his personal principles by rejecting an opportunity to be elevated to Adelaide Lightning head coach after the WNBL club's ownership sacked Chris Lucas. Today Ninnis was confirmed as Lightning's new "interim" coach.

ADELAIDE Lightning reacted to another faltering WNBL campaign by wielding the axe and podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I dissect the decision at this week's Brad&Boti podcast, along with a deep visit to the NBL and a couple of clubs falling by the wayside.
WNBL: Thirst for Hurst bubble burst
WHEN is an assistant ready to step into a head coaching role? It's always a gamble but what club "moves on" a highly-successful head coach to replace him with a prospect who most importantly fills a gender-specific requirement? Adelaide Lightning did, and yesterday its experiment with Nat Hurst ended when she was sacked from her WNBL job.

WE'RE back this week after a quick respite while Brad&Boti podcast co-host Brad Rosen recovered from his landmark milestone birthday celebrations. And we're not holding back. Should Adelaide Lightning fire coach Nat Hurst? Are the Perth Wildcats selfish?
Brad&Boti: We're agreeing again! Must be the water

IT was uncanny but for (only) the fourth time in 158 episodes of the Brad&Boti podcast, colleague Brad Rosen and I again could not split the NBL's Player of the Week but were apart on the WNBL's most imposing performer in another round of surprise results.
Brad&Boti: History and misery a mix of the past week

BRAD&BOTI: So much went on this past week in both the NBL and WNBL that it was hard for Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I to even know where to start. Do we want to talk about new WNBL history? Or do we cover some NBL misery? Guess what? We did both.
WNBL: Short wait for Geelong to make history
GEELONG United last night not only produced a masterful performance to claim its historic first WNBL victory, claiming the giant-sized scalp of defending champion Southside 90-87, but did it without import centre Lynetta Kizer and back-up big Daniel Raber, captain Keely Froling and Haley Jones leading the way.
