Tune in as I join Bruce and Steve at TRP
IF my website here is one of your regular destinations then I am very confident you would enjoy "The Reverse Pivot" podcast presented by NBL championship-winning coach Bruce Palmer and former Brisbane Bullets guard and longtime coach Steve McLeod talking basketball present, past and future.
WNBL 'Big Fish' landing, as expected
GREAT to see some reasonably big names signing contracts at new WNBL destinations greatly in need of a boost and, of course, at our newest franchise, Tasmania Jewels. Championship-winning coach Claudia Brassard has sought some big fish, playmaking guard Steph Reid her latest "catch".
Foursome linked to Lightning
THE Lightning's inexplicable decision to reappoint interim coach Aja Parham-Ammar for two years after her abysmal 3-13 WNBL record last season may be baffling in the extreme but the club's recruiters have been busy, Cayla George, Kristy Wallace, Zitina Aokuso and Gemma Potter all linked to Adelaide.

JUST in case you missed our recent early WNBL off-season deep dive, look out because the lack of a league presence in Brisbane is coming to a sudden halt. It looks very much that after Tasmania Jewels enter the league in 2026-27, a new Brisbane franchise will be next in 2027-28.

WITH all the drama, theatre and tensions of the NBL Championship Series, it would be easy to overlook the fact the WNBL has been notoriously active in these early throes of its off-season, CEO Jennie Sager the first to bite the dust, Tasmania Jewels signing their inaugural player Nikki Parker, and two more coaching appointments.

THE NBL is on the threshold of its 2026 best-of-three semi finals, giving Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I plenty to discuss, but before we even do, over in Turkey our Australian Opals are in action against Argentina, Japan, Hungary, Turkey and Canada.
Opals now out of the Woods in Turkey

THERE is no shortage of players unlucky to be omitted from Sandy Brondello's Australia Opals team competing in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Turkey from Wednesday but perhaps none moreso than Courtney Woods. Hot off leading Townsville to the WNBL championship, Woods claimed the Rachael Sporn Medal en route!
Glacier-paced Lightning lead coach merry-go-round
SETTLE in for an off-season elite-level coaching roundabout with the NBL and WNBL, several changes in the wind and mystery surrounding why something as quick as Lightning is moving at such a glacier pace to confirm Aja Parham-Ammar has been reappointed for two seasons.

TOWNSVILLE Fire has claimed its fifth WNBL Championship after winning one of the greatest games in WNBL history, and podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I revel in their success at this week's Brad&Boti episode, with commiserations to a gallant Perth but the better club won.
