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.

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.

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.

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.
NBL: Look out! We could soon be Bryceless

PERTH Wildcats wizard Bryce Cotton is going through an almost unbelievably extraordinary scoring phase, following last week's 59-point haul against NZ with a cool 40 in the loss to Illawarra, then another 49 in the road win at Adelaide for 148 points (average 49.3) in his past three games.

WITH regular podcast partner Joey Wright taking a well-earned break - our 25-minutes a week pod can be extraordinarily debilitating! - this round's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE features a very special guest panellist with whom I get to relive some of the very best of the NBL.
