Brad&Boti: We did see this axe falling
ADELAIDE Lightning reacted to another faltering WNBL campaign by wielding the axe and podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I dissect the decision at this week's Brad&Boti podcast, along with a deep visit to the NBL and a couple of clubs falling by the wayside.
WNBL: Thirst for Hurst bubble burst
WHEN is an assistant ready to step into a head coaching role? It's always a gamble but what club "moves on" a highly-successful head coach to replace him with a prospect who most importantly fills a gender-specific requirement? Adelaide Lightning did, and yesterday its experiment with Nat Hurst ended when she was sacked from her WNBL job.
Brad&Boti: The birthday boy is back!
WE'RE back this week after a quick respite while Brad&Boti podcast co-host Brad Rosen recovered from his landmark milestone birthday celebrations. And we're not holding back. Should Adelaide Lightning fire coach Nat Hurst? Are the Perth Wildcats selfish?
Brad&Boti: We're agreeing again! Must be the water
IT was uncanny but for (only) the fourth time in 158 episodes of the Brad&Boti podcast, colleague Brad Rosen and I again could not split the NBL's Player of the Week but were apart on the WNBL's most imposing performer in another round of surprise results.
Brad&Boti: History and misery a mix of the past week
BRAD&BOTI: So much went on this past week in both the NBL and WNBL that it was hard for Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I to even know where to start. Do we want to talk about new WNBL history? Or do we cover some NBL misery? Guess what? We did both.
WNBL: Short wait for Geelong to make history
GEELONG United last night not only produced a masterful performance to claim its historic first WNBL victory, claiming the giant-sized scalp of defending champion Southside 90-87, but did it without import centre Lynetta Kizer and back-up big Daniel Raber, captain Keely Froling and Haley Jones leading the way.
Brad&Boti: WNBL rolling, NBL balling, Tips appalling
BRAD&BOTI: What did we learn from Round 1 of the WNBL season and who are the new surprise packets in the NBL? Sydney multi-media mogul Brad Rosen and I sit down again this week for a thorough review of what just occurred and what is to come in our Brad&Boti podcast.
WNBL: Lightning face another strike out
THE WNBL, the national women's competition launched in 1981 after three Adelaide coaches took matters into their own hands, is now strongly reputed to be facing the loss and extinction of its once highly successful Adelaide Lightning franchise from its competition next season.
WNBL trips while BA takes a huge Chance
THE WNBL tipped off in all its glory this week, the television coverage, sigh, again having its annual amateur hour "teething problems" while Basketball Australia also revealed its latest Boomers outfit for FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers in Thailand, taking a chance on tour coach Jacob Chance.
Brad&Boti: WNBL preview with the Cap, and NBL review
BRAD&BOTI: The 2024-25 WNBL season tips off tonight when league newcomer and babyface Geelong United clashes with Townsville Fire, and joining Brad Rosen and myself on our Brad&Boti podcast to review it all is Opals captain Tess Madgen.
