Opals on a hiding-to-nothing
DON'T buy too deeply into the hype surrounding the Opals' Olympic team for the Tokyo Games and their prospects of bringing home the coveted Gold or you will set yourself up for disappointment.
B&B: Answering those Kerley questions
WHEN the NBL tipped off, there was one coaching doyen known as Brian and it wasn't our man Goorjian. It was Brian Kerle, a four-time NBL championship ooach, multiple champion as a player at St Kilda in the game's halcyon era and an Olympian. Yep, Brad Rosen and I this week feature an all-time great of the game, BRIAN KERLE.
Bullets should lock CJ in now
THE decision by the Bullets' NBL head coach Andrej Lemanis to take up a lucrative coaching role in Japan's B-League next season opens the door for Brisbane to act now and appoint his assistant CJ Bruton as his successor.
New book will tell those Tall tales
MAY the force be with us all tomorrow but on May 10, let's again summon all our basketball community's forces and rally around behind Huw Beynon's new book, "Ballin' in Black: Our Tall Blacks Test Centurions."
It's time for an encore B&B session!
YES, Brad Rosen and I lured him back with faux promises of sweets and foreign delicacies for an encore visit to our Brad&Boti podcast, that's how big an impact CHRIS ANSTEY made when we interviewed him a few weeks back. His has been quite the basketball career, but there's even way more to it than that!
10 Hard NBL Questions for Andrew Gaze
BRAD Rosen and I went a different way with this week's Brad&Boti podcast's interview guest - Australia's most readily identifiable basketball superstar and celebrity Andrew Gaze. Instead of revisiting his unprecedented career, which we promise we'll do later, we asked him some hard questions re NBL Season 21.
The Man Who Made the Opals
BRAD Rosen and I secured another interview coup this week when we managed to draw Australia's latest inductee into the FIBA Hall of Fame onto the program to talk titles, Olympics and coaching in general. This week's Piranha Media-sponsored Brad&Boti podcast features none other than the one and only Tom Maher.
Finally, Maher makes it into FIBA Hall of Fame

HE was the coach who took Australia from a "wannabe international powerhouse" and on to the medal dais for real, in the process showing all future Opals teams how it could and should be done as Australia reached for the sky, FIBA's Hall of Fame finally recognising his great and unique service to the game.
B&B: The insider word from Brad Newley
BRAD Rosen and I secured our first player for our Brad&Boti Podcast, the multi-talented, multi-purpose, multi-club star Brad Newley and we're talking Europe, Adelaide, NBA, Sydney Kings, wandering through his entire career since breaking into the NBL in 2004, as Rookie of the Year, Best Sixth Man and All Star game MVP.
