Different day, same old same old at 36ers
ADELAIDE 36ers fans believing the appointment of favourite son and club stalwart Scott Ninnis as coach would revive the ailing club and its NBL fans starved of success for more than two decades, need to think again as management announces Brendan Joyce as his new assistant.
Vale Corey Williams
THE tragic, premature and sadly inevitable death of one of the NBL's past great players and by far its most strident international advocate and ambassador, Corey "Homicide" Williams, at just 46, has left a massive pall over the off-season and feelings of inestimable loss.
