Reliving the WNBL, and now for Lightning!
MARK the date and don't delay! Tuesday is your last chance to buy tickets to the Free Throw Foundation's big pre-Christmas lunch at the Highway Hotel in Adelaide on Friday, December 10, featuring 40 years of WNBL history, a celebration of Adelaide Lightning's opening home game and a chance to buy my new basketball-based book!
The perfect stocking stuffer
THANK you very much from the bottom of my heart to the people already purchasing copies of my basketball-based memoir "A Type of Life" which, I am reliably informed, has been flying off the shelves at Dymocks.
December 10 for a Lightning strike
THE history of the Adelaide Lightning with surprise guests, copies of my new book "A Type of Life" for sale, and news out of Basketball SA ... the Free Throw Foundation's pre-Christmas lunch on December 10 at the Highway Hotel is one not to be missed.
And yes, unfortunately we've stayed offline
APOLOGIES to regular readers and visitors here but as you will have noticed, your author has stayed out of commission for several weeks despite promising the website's imminent return. Sadly it's been the result of a series of back spasms that laid me out for several weeks and kept my chiropractor extremely busy.
Apologies for the temporary delay...
DEAR regulars, apologies for the recent lack of B.O.T.I. coverage but have had a lot on the old plate. One daughter's wedding and marriage, another one's birthday, the imminent release of my memoir. In the meantime, great basketball stuff has been piling up but back on deck now and will start clearing those same decks shortly!

BOB'S CORNER: Our U.S. correspondent BOB CRAVEN, a former import who starred in ACT and NSW during the Sixties, has more to add to Lauren Jackson's recent Hall of Fame induction and an on-court record Kareem Abdul-Jabbar helped end, six years after he retired as a player.
FTF: Erin, Sunday to top the bill
MULTIPLE WNBA, WNBL and AFLW championship and premiership winner Erin Phillips and South Sudanese-born Adelaide 36ers all-rounder, dual-NBL champion Sunday Dech top the bill for this month's Free Throw Foundation lunch at the Highway Hotel.
B&B: Sporny, talking Opals Olympic scenarios
OPALS in an Olympic pickle? You bet. So Brad Rosen and I spoke to the expert, Channel 7 commentator and triple-Olympian Rachael Sporn to explain all the scenarios ahead of tonight's mightily important final intragroup game against Games minnow Puerto Rico, and what the USA-France result also might mean.
B&B: Timmsy on life and the Games

MICHELE Timms, one of the all-time greats of Australian basketball, a pioneer and a pacesetter synonymous with international success, joins Brad Rosen and me on our Brad&Boti podcast this week to talk about her life and story, plus the latest Olympic developments, including Liz Cambage's departure from the Opals.
Losing my Religion. Bye, Sam, Isaac, Alex
PODCAST colleague and friend Brad Rosen and I like to banter about our long-standing affiliations to our NBL clubs - Sydney Kings and Adelaide 36ers respectively - but I can honestly (and sadly) confirm I have absolutely zero affinity for the Sixers of this era.
