All of the uni/college teams have experienced players which do help the development of the core of the teams. Most of the time it is overseas players purportedly to complete a masters. Loughborough also have Harrison Gamble who has played BBL for many years as well as spells in Europe. As for Tom, having seen how the teams improve over the course of a season, I know he is a good coach. Oh I fully agree- he is a good coach but it’s not working at Leopards (results wise) so a change may bring about an upturn in results. I think he’ll be a BBL coach in a few years having done his apprenticeship at NBL level. |

Why aren't you keen to sack any other coaches from other teams?

Why aren't you keen to sack any other coaches from other teams? Prob as like I said the faecal point was Leopards from getting interested via Dave’s posts. Don’t want to see anyone get sacked as such although it’s an inevitability of sports isn’t it. |

Why aren't you keen to sack any other coaches from other teams? There's clearly some history here, either with me or Tom. Obviously I hope my blog and being the only GM (that we know of!) regularly posting on here will spark some interest in my club, let's face it there's D1 teams who don't get mentioned on here for months. But he had some weird obsession with us that goes far beyond a bit of interest. Still, as my nan used to say, there's a lot of funny people around.

DTB. Read your quotes below. Then see if you can work out why I'm not going to have a conversation with you about Wolves' MO and aims. If you'd watched our calamitous last couple of minutes yesterday, you'd work out why we've added AJ.
I thought we had cleared this up via PM but clearly not. I'm not going to feed your obsession any further |

Watched the match yesterday and it was certainly an intriguing final few moments, albeit overlong.
I was tasked with preparing the Saturday evening feast of meat feast pizza & wedges (accompanied by several mugs of piping hot tea), and had to put up with Mrs S chirruping "hasn't this crap finished yet, when am I getting my f'in dinna, I only ask you to prepare it once a week and look at how long you're f'in takin!" And she doesn't often swear...
Anyway, your blog picture of the scoreboard made I laugh - looks like it was a mockup of the scoreboard that you made with matches and placed in a doll's house

Yeah, it was a bit painful and felt like an age. I'll take any kind of win, though.
I'm pleased you liked the pic, do you still have your dolls' house?

2 pages for d1 player is fantastic, we should be encouraging this surely? Maybe not the content of this feed but definitely the amount

What’s wrong with it is it’s a stupid childish ding ding between two posters. SJ sings a few complementary comments and that’s it. For me it makes the board look like a juvenile playground.

Hey, compared to lockdown 1, this is high-quality stuff. The boycott by a midlands-based dwarf has certainly helped.
But if you have lost interest in the thread, no one's forcing you to read it.

Dave -you have to grow up and understand that if someone comments on your posts/team/blog - (which is surely what the Internet forums are for)? Then they aren’t a tr077 or handsome man or obsessed.
Hell I’ve given tangible advice (which may have been rubbish but you have to agree it’s advice all the same).
I have said throughout that AJ was a good pick up - your win yesterday obviously proved that!
Not everyone is hating on you you know

If I ever need advice from someone with the basketball IQ of an out-of-date yoghurt, I know where to come. Although if I was that desperate I'd probably give up. Possibly on life. But if I do sink to those depths, just try to come up with something different to "sack Tom".
AJ - the man who pulled down 18 rebounds today and missed out on a triple-double by two assists - is looking forward to you telling him to his face that he shouldn't be able to earn a living. He also mentioned that a real baller wouldn't trash another player on a public forum.

See you resort to this bitter type every bloody time. C’mon man grow up and debate- not throw your toys out of the pram every single time lol Childish terrible ill out thought insults every time.have a bit of class like Tony Leopard. Don’t know if he is a fan or involved in the club but he is what you should be striving to be like rather than a bitter ranting fella. And for the 8th time(!!!!!!) I have never said AJ shouldn’t earn a living. I said he was a good pick up for Leopards (which he has obviously proved) but only that drugs offences should (in my opinion) stop any activities with children or vulnerable. Stupidity doesn’t mean one can’t play good basketball off course. And I’m not and never have been a real baller (whatever that means). I played at the Rec as a youngster and enjoy a mess around with a group of the old guys when time allows it in the summer but I don think I’d ever label myself a baller (which always sounds so cringey) Anyway peace out Dave - night night x |

Stupidity doesn’t mean one can’t play good basketball off course. He works in a college. And has been promoted since the ban started. So, yes, you have said he shouldn't be able to earn a living. Let's face, he's not getting rich playing for Wolves.
