Barry has an impeccable track record as a leader who understands what's best for the fans and consistently delivered a fantastic game-night product in Townsville. |
He's done everything right, so we're happy with that. He's put the injury behind him, he's married and ready for a fresh start. |
Importantly, we're taking Mark to the Tigers semi-final game on Tuesday to show him the current standard of Australian basketball. |
In any offence, you've got to have options and we've certainly identified some other people who'd be excellent as well. |
It has to happen fairly quickly. |
It's nice to deliver. A lot of people think it was all just hype by us, but we've been able to land a pretty big fish. |
The Dragons understand that Luke's committed to a career in the NBA and would be delighted if he were to use our club as a stepping-stone to the NBA. |
We know Luke's excited about the prospect of playing with the Dragons, and it's really just a matter of coming to an agreement that's acceptable to both parties. |
We think Brett would be a long shot, but we intend to go through the process. Someone like Brett is the kind of coach we want. |
We'd like to move on as soon as we can. It just gets back to how quickly we can do things. |
We're looking for the best coach possible. |
We've put Luke on hold. There's a couple of small things we haven't reached agreement on, so we've left the door open. |
We've taken on board feedback from the basketball public suggesting they'd like us to get a coach with experience in either Europe or the American college system. |
Whilst the Dragons remain committed to getting the best coach we can, it's important to state that Mark's not been offered a role, nor has he accepted a position with the club at this stage. |
With Shane Heal as our captain, I believe this franchise is shaping as a championship contender. |
