SCOTT Ninnis at Adelaide 36ers has finally been allowed to shred the word "interim" from his extensive coaching resume, the Sixers this week confirming a new two-year deal for the only man to play an intimate role in all four of the club's NBL championships and much better equipped to improve on his previous stint as head coach.

PJC super and Cairns upsets United: NBL

No is the word as Hawks sweep Perth: NBL
IT would be a crying shame if the noise over the uttering of the "N" word allegedly by Illawarra import Justin Robinson now detracted from the club's tremendous success in sweeping NBL powerhouse Perth to qualify for the playoffs last night in front of a roaring Wollongong crowd.
NBL Rankings, Tips 20: Spots for grabs as greats retire
A PAIR of the all-time greats of our league, Tom Abercrombie and Brad Newley will hang up their boots at the close of the 2023-24 season after stellar NBL and international careers, the sport considerably poorer for their loss. Outstanding players, both are even greater human beings.
NBL TotW19: Fab Four make beautiful music
