This week on Time Out - No Flop Zone, Joey Wright and Boti Nagy cover NBL coaching changes, player retirements, and major league issues as the season winds down. 🏀
We kick things off by celebrating Boti Nagy’s induction as a WNBL Life Member, recognizing his incredible contributions to Australian basketball. Then, we recap the 36ers vs Kings Final and the Adelaide vs SEM Phoenix matchup, analyzing key plays and takeaways.
Joey evaluates legendary coach Brian Goorjian, and the team discusses Cairns’ search for a new coach following the sacking of Justin Schueller. With Clint Steindl announcing his retirement and Jason Cadee playing his final game, we reflect on their careers and impact on the league.
Viewer questions spark some heated debates, including:
🔥 Why aren’t there local players on local teams anymore?
🔥 Should Australian players be cut mid-season like imports?
🔥 Should NBL referees be paid more?
🔥 Is going straight from player to head coach a good idea?
Joey also reveals whether teams coach a strategy for the umpires, and they break down the NBA All-Star Game and whether Kyrie Irving will officially become an Australian player. The show wraps up with a preview of Australia vs Indonesia in FIBA action.
