He has always been tricky. I have known him since before I started university. He got the nickname "Fish" because we were all drunk one night and we decided that he wasn't as evolved as other humans, that he was a lower form of life, like a creepy slippery slimy fish, and the name just stuck. So I will always have one on him!

It is funny how connected a lot of people are here. I know most of you XBB guys are tight from basketball. (Been 9 months since I played now, foot is still wrecked, but I guess if they had trouble fixing Joachim Noah, I would be even harder to fix.) I even know PossumPete indirectly in real life, while I have never actually met him some of the people I work with including my official work "Buddy" went to university with him doing teacher training. In fact I am interviewing one of his friends for a job on tuesday. Small world hey?

SO not only is this another reason for supporter but the community surrounding it in my eyes is AWESOME!!!

I look forward to when i can join you guys.

Cheers

Well we really do have a good number of extra teams that would like to be part of the league next season possibly including the following:

peaceNroll - guaranteed
Persepolis Immortals
Shepparton Shooters
Beasts Red
Home Axis
Massive Ballers
Rampaging Marmots
Aussie Hammers?

and I am sure we could get more if we recruited. We will have to work something out. Our previous idea of a promotion/relegation system was about as popular as a turd in a bathtub, but perhaps we can look at having a second division that can earn invites as they become available, that is as if a spot comes up because someone has willingly left the league like at least three teams did after the first season.

First never play only 5 guys, only the Naker Virus is lucky enough to do that and get away with it. If you really have a bad bench you can still play a 3 man big rotation and 4 small guys. That will ensure your starters play big minutes but if they get injured or foul out you haven't thrown the whole game away.

Second 2-3 is a very dangerous defence unless you are sure your opponent is going inside, but if they don't you will get killed - see your game as an example.

Third princeton is a very specific offence that requires a great PF (is R. Rocasolano great?), really good passing and driving for the whole team and great 3 point shooting guards. Does this sound like your team? Junel is your star, I would set an offence that revolves around him. Perhaps a R&G with him at SF and Joey at SG or a look inside with Junel at PF. Why was Joey at PG?

Hope that is helpful.

I know there is a line but as i said, Gives me something to work towards. My team is getting there and my training of my PG is going smoothly so hopefully i can find 1-2 more players within a season to help my team. DIV III also looks interesting and the AUS Community seems to be growing as well

That's right.. You don't get anywhere in this game without working hard at it.. The higher you go the more active you need to be and there is way less bot teams in div 2 aswell

Usually only one or two across the whole of div II, usually people who give up mid season cause they've been stuck in II for soooo many seasons..

Goodluck in your journey Neeber :)

Marathon, not a sprint. Plan long term, think 2-3 seasons down the road. Don't buy success, plan for it. It will lead to long term sustainable success and even the ABBL if you're lucky!
