    THE Brisbane Bullets had almost given up on recruiting Daniel Egan when the Boomers forward picked up the phone and called coach Richard Orlick asking for a job.

    Lindsay Gaze sets another coaching record tonight: 600 NBL games IN THE 1970s, Americans were flowing into Australian basketball like the Murray River at its most powerful. Teaching jobs were plentiful and a Yank accent and a pair of Converse high-tops guaranteed you a game somewhere. Three men who crossed the Pacific Ocean were Brian Goorjian, Al Westover and Bruce Palmer, each using the other's slightly exaggerated recommendations to coerce Melbourne Tigers...

    THE NBL will revamp its playoff format, expanding to eight teams, playing one-game knockout quarter-finals and closing with a best-of-five grand final. The new format, which replaces the top six with a lucky loser in the first round, will be introduced this season, but is considered experimental and expendable if unsuccessful. It's a departure from the NBL norm of best-of-three series throughout the finals and it might be considered too much change too soon for...
