REGULAR co-host Joey Wright is up at the Gold Coast injuring himself playing at the Masters Games so for this week's episode of our podcast "Time Out-No Flop Zone", we recruited multiple NBL championship winner and immediate past-36ers coach Scott Ninnis to join us for the program.

R.I.P. Bob's Corner but all the best 'Craves'
REGULAR visitors to my website here would have noticed the popular work of our erstwhile US correspondent BOB CRAVEN has been missing for a while now.

If you love basketball, tune in to WNBA Game 5
THERE may have been a better WNBA Championship Series than the one Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are currently providing, but it would take some time to remember which, this epic best-of-five series tied at 2-2 and with an Australian sure to finish it as a champion.
