B&B: Guy's 'boom times'
MELBOURNE Boomers have not only won the WNBL's regular season championship but also were the first to storm into the 2022 Grand Final, Brad Rosen and I grabbing coach Guy Molloy for this week's Brad&Boti podcast. Guy's gals will face Perth for the championship before he heads to New Zealand.
Sorry but still can't take BA or WNBL seriously
FINALS tip off tomorrow in the WNBL and we're drawing closer to the FIBA Women's World Cup but taking Basketball Australia or the current women's league seriously anymore is still beyond my meagre capabilities. Maybe I need a spouse to do my thinking for me and give me clarity. It seems to be all the rage.
B&B: Time to sit with the Head
BASKETBALL is a passion for Brad Rosen and I, whether it be NBL, WNBL, Opals, Boomers, NBA, FIBA, college, Euroleague - you name it. But at our Brad&Boti podcast, we really do want to bring you important but possibly unknown people in our game which is why this week we interviewed Christy Collier-Hill.
B&B: Brad and I take a Joey Time-Out
FORMER Adelaide 36ers, Brisbane Bullets and Gold Coast Blaze coach Joey Wright and I have a weekly "Time Out" podcast on Piranha Media but with Joey away, we invited Brad&Boti colleague Brad Rosen to join me for a visual treat. We also doubled it up as this week's Brad&Boti pod so this one is slightly different!
B&B: Behind the WNBL curtain
WHAT is life REALLY like when you're stranded interstate, potentially for months on end due to COVID protocols? Brad Rosen and I wanted to bring that insight to our listeners and in Perth Lynx star Alex Ciabattoni, we found the perfect insider. This is another "must listen" for fans of our Brad&Boti podcast.
Lightning sparking the Storm
ADELAIDE LIGHTNING captain Stephanie Talbot will be back for the Seattle Storm in 2022, the WNBA club keen to reassemble as much of its 2021 team as possible now it has retained Breanna Stewart who was being heavily courted by Sandy Brondello's New York Liberty.
Why my 41-year love affair with the WNBL is over
INTEGRITY. There it is, in one word. It's the reason after loving, promoting and doing my best to enhance the cause of women's basketball and its premier WNBL for more than four decades, I'm out. Done. Dusted. Disenchanted. Disenfanchised. Distressed. Dissed in general.
B&B: Just a coupla fogies talking NBL/WNBL
WE scoured the countryside this week in search of a guest for our weekly Brad&Boti podcast and came up shamelessly empty. It forced Brad Rosen and I to actually have a more in-depth look at the latest goings on in our WNBL and NBL comps and in the end, we quite enjoyed it! Hopefully, you do too!
Tough round for Flames, Lightning: WNBL 9
COMING off a narrow loss to Perth, Sydney Flames will like their chances tonight in Bendigo against a Spirit team which now has lost Leilani Mitchell for the rest of the season.
