He is missing a Boomers camp on right now, and it aint to suit up for the GC in the QBL. Count your self lucky he is not playing as they would have given you your second loss for the season.

watched the the gold coast thugs men team lose to cairns, it would appear to most people the thugs have won most of their games by hitting players and getting away with it, yet when it is given back to them they go to water an just cry all night to the refs. to any team playing against the thugs from the coast, dont back down from them cause they dont have the heart to handle the same crap they give out.

There is always one that wants to start. I have been watching every Rollers Home game and I have not seen any of this "thuggery" at all. I've seen Macgregor get a black eye but he must of launched his thuggish self to a point guards elbow. They have played very well . Last nights game looked very close so it could of gotten a bit physical..i saw that Cairns got a tech as well. We lost a game just savor the win and shut it with all this thug stuff. Every team in this competition plays at a professional level...it's just that some of the fans don't..hint hint

Interesting that we're over half way through the season and nothing has been said about Goldie been thugs until they arrive in Cairns. The reality is that some teams play more physical then others. Personally haven't seen Gold Coast play yet but been one of the top teams I would suspect that they play hard, which is only to be expected.

Any team containing Aucoin is going to play a physical style of ball (at least when he's on the court). The dude likes to mix it up. While he treads a fine line, I don't think that he's a thug.
Largely uneventful men's game at Boondall tonight, with the Wiz getting over Gladdy 73-62.
Close for most of the first quarter until Gleeson got it going. His class kept the Wizards nose in front for the remainder of the game.
Cripe was big and serviceable enough for Gladdy, would've liked to see him bang around inside a bit more though. Borgan was good when given room on the break, but lacked outside form. As dangerous as he can be, kinda surprised the Power's halfcourt sets didn't see the ball in his hands a lot more. Hate to say it, but Eden Zunic would be a clear frontrunner for el busto 'buy' of the year (sorry Power fans).
A few airballs/terrible shots from both teams during the game - could only attribute this to the adjusted three point line. Have seen the same thing in a few other games this season.
Trolling stats from other games tonight ....
- Maroochy girls get home by 3 against T-Bar in the game of the winless
- Ippy men throttle Pirates by 38, is Teys really that valuable?
- A barebones Goldie spank full-strength Townie by 16 (WOW!!!!!!!!!!)
- Livestats says Maroochy beat T-Bar on the buzzer by 2 (can anyone confirm what happened?)
Is there anywhere on the QBL site where we can view stat league leaders?

Toowoomba 2 points down 11 secs to go. Their guard played the clock down and splashed the shot to make it even, apparently heading to OT. There was still 1 sec. on the clock. Mdore timeout then ran a set play from the inbounds saw Malakai Mitchell catch and shoot in time and drain it to give Maroochydore the win.
Stats ladies were probly as stunned as the rest of us and enjoyed the moment before finishing the paperwork.

Smart move by him not to play, he would be setting a bad example refusing to play for his country to play in an semi amurture comp. The less that is said about Stephen Weigh the better. I hope he never gets a chance to represent Australia again.

The stats were correct during the game, where the scoretable were incorrect. Tbar actually up by a handful (we were watching live stats whilst watching the game - once we noticed quite a few points going on the wrong side on the scoreboard and not being corrected!). I hope Tbar have put in an official protest, as if the video is checked I reckon Tbar won by about 3.... But, as everyone knows, unfortunately in this case for Tbar, the scoresheet is the official document.

What a croc! Stats was spot on. After watching the video, the live score stats had the correct score of 79-83 Tbars way (Video confirms this). Unfortunatley the scorebench DID put a 3 pointer onto the wrong side of the scoreboard and official game sheet. Tbar caoches tried to alert both the scorebench AND the referees at the time of it happening, but of course the referees had to go with the scorebench and didn't check with the stats team at the time (Who had realised what mistake had been made) The stas had to be adjusted at the end of the game to match the scorebench.
Only stating facts of what happened. Official complaint has been lodged with BQ and hopefully common sense will prevail. A shame to see that a mistake by the home team scorebench (Unintentionally or not) could ruin a good close finish to a game. (6 point turnaround in a close game is hard to get back)

Bit presumptious dont you think? Since when has "live stats" been the official record of the score of a basketball game? Not possible that some differences between live stats and scoresheet occur quite regularely during games? Which is why, fortunately, Not the video replay not the live stats watchers, But the scoresheet is the official record of the result of a game of basketball.

Funny how most people in the stands saw that the scorebench put a 3pt on the wrong side at the start of the fourth qtr, AND the players and coach saw it and questioned the bench and ref, AND the court announcer announced that Toowoomba won the game at the end, all without seeing the stats.
So, isn't it amazing that the stats people just happened to put that same 3pt on the 'wrong' side, at the same time...
Considering this game was played at Maroochydore, and it was their people who made the mistake, if the video shows that the scores were in fact wrong, then Maroochydore should show their true sportsmanship by conceding the game without Toowoomba having to put in a protest.

Saw the previous posts about Gladstone women recently and would have to agree with the comments after seeing them in 2 games this weekend. Seriously - Jess Bibby playing 30+ minutes while winning games comfortably, while their 'future' i.e. the local players sit on the bench. What will happen when they no longer have the paid players? Can't see the locals stepping up ready to play. Was also less than impressed with Bibby's on-court attitude - despite receiving very favourable treatment by the refs she did nothing but complain - what a role model!

Aucoin reminds of Paul Gallen. Full of niggle and always treading a fine line while being quick to complain to the ref when he gets back what he gives.
Townsville shot under 30% for the game despite starting red hot (16-5 start). The threes they missed were wide open ones too. On the defensive side, they kept getting beat on the same fake shot back door cut play everytime.

Definately the Goldy bigs were dominant inside the paint all night which i was quite suprised with especially after the first quarter , Awesome effort by Scott Mc put his hand up and was basically unstoppable inside , Goldy played to their strengths . Townsville started well and then lost their way struggled against the Goldy Zone and lived by the 3 ball struggled to get the ball in to their bigs all night Good pressure on the Towny guards to make good passes inside ,
Thought it was a huge effort by the Goldy team without the first choice P/G`s , Good job by the young guy running the point only his 3rd game in , Huge effort by 3 of the players to play 35+min Scott Mc 40min & the young p/g 39min only came of in the last minute after being winded & Gurney 35+min, Not easy to do after playing big minutes the night before ,Great team effort and solid game plan by the coaching staff , Fully fit Goldy team will be hard to beat especially at home.

Not positive who the PG is you refer to but exciting to see Christian Salecich playing QBL. Guy was starting SG for Australian Emus in 2009 and recruited by Majerius to play Div 1.
Common sentiment amongst the Aussie elite was "you dont want this guy guarding you". He can run the point well but watch what happens when he has a PG to run off. Christians shooting range is from 6 inches over half way.

If this is the case with Salecich would be interesting to watch him along side Gibbo on the defensive end . Would cause many teams a headache in the front court i would imagine. If Teys is fit & playing would be a interesting match up between the 2 this weekend.

Someone should tell him to shoot closer to the three line cos he's 1-12 so far.

OK, I just watched the 4th quarter, or what they put up there...
By the time the camera zooms into to scoreboard the score for the fourth quarter is 16-6 to Toowoomba.
Going by the official stats the score at the end of the 3rd quarter was 56-60 with Maroochy leading. Therefor the score SHOULD be 72-66 but the scoreboard showed 69-69 so the scorebench obviously added a 3 to the wrong side....

Rumour has it that the video shows the 3 pointer Legan hit that was put on Maroochy's side and that Toowoomba won but decision has made that there will be a rematch. This true?
If so, I can't believe that Toowoomba would be stripped of their victory due to a poor and rather 'questionable' error on scoretable..

Pathetic isn't it? And Toowoomba have to travel back to Maroochydore for the re-match. Seems very unfair to me, especially considering that the error was brought to the attention of the scorebench, referees, stats table, and BQ during the game and nothing was done about it at the time. Everyone at that stadium knew that Toowoomba had won the game, just seems unfair.

Yes the stats people do their job, as do the Mdore bench and they perform the duty weekin ,weekout with no thanks . For some faceless shit to rate the stats people above the bench is a kick in the guts to the bench. Mistakes have happened in this situation and BQ the governing body have taken measures to address this. It maybe a pain in the arse that Tbwa come back to Mdore but it must have been worked between the clubs and BQ. Until the replay chillout !

For starters, not everyone at the stadium thought Twmba won the game.
The stats ladies are important but they are just the stats, NOT the score.
BQ website says Mdore 82 def Twmba 80.
Which is right?
BQ or Bendoes, Scoresheet or stats ?

Everyone at the stadium knew T'ba had won the game? Really, then why did we bother celebrating when we hit the winning shot to win the game 82-80? Any score error that occured happened early in the fourth quarter and therefore changes the context of everything that happens after that moment, it's not like we the players are responsible, all we can do is play to the scoreboard. If there was a scoreboard error then Toowoomba were unlucky to lose, but if we were stripped of our victory when all we can do is play to the scoreboard we too would be getting an unfair deal. If at that point for example we were down 4 instead of up 2, it changes how we play and who's to say we don't come back and win anyway? A replay is the only reasonable option. Enough said.

So to sum it all up - Maroochy scorebench put 3 points onto their side instead of Tbar and the game is now 6 points out. Error immediately realised by T bench and brought to scorebench and Referees attention - no correction made to score. Protest after game shows T won by 4 points and game has to be replayed. But surely it must be played in Toowoomba, they tried to get the error corrected when it happened and then won the game. Now the team who lost has another chance to win it and Toowoomba have to travel again. Not their scorebench error - so why are they being doubley disadvantaged. The only fair outcome would be to play the rematch in Toowoomba, as any other association in that position would agree with.

I hear the game will be replayed on a Sunday in Maroochy, so if either team has new players before that date, will they be allowed to play? If it is a replay then I would be arguiing for only the players listed on that score sheet at the start of the game be allowed to play. Who covers Twmbas exspenses? QUOTE]
That's exactly right. The only problem is, I hear Stephen Kluck is unavailable for the rematch due to work commitments. He was a HUGE part of the game with 19 points and 16 rebounds from memory! This is a league of players where many have to WORK for a living. He took time off of work based around the games scheduled at the start of the season, NOT rescheduled games due to a scorebench error!
I don't think Toowoomba should be disadvantaged by having him not available to play. Rematch is NOT a suitable option if this is the case.
(Not sure if there are any other players not able to play on this date either)

I reckon that IF Bq decide to break with FIBA regulations, create a rod for their back precedence and open the can of worms where every body with an agenda and a video camera can overule the official score sheet of a basketball game, then Pop and Toowoomba should satisfy their egos with the fact they made history and not guts ache about where when and with whom their "replay" scam takes place.
I guess if you manage to convince a struggling association to part with their money for a QBL program then fill it with your kids and your mates you gotta be looking for something to put in the local paper after losing to a smaller association who spends nuthin' on "talent".
Dastardly deeds perpetrated by evil scorebench volunteers aside there would be some wiser heads at Toowoomba questioning why a team with so much hype and budget is sitting in 13th place in the first place and can be within 1 basket of a totally amatuer outfit anyway?
How embarrassment if Twmba get their "replay" and get done again by Maroochy? Oo-ahh!

I guess if you manage to convince a struggling association to part with their money for a QBL program then fill it with your kids and your mates you gotta be looking for something to put in the local paper after losing to a smaller association who spends nuthin' on "talent".
Dastardly deeds perpetrated by evil scorebench volunteers aside there would be some wiser heads at Toowoomba questioning why a team with so much hype and budget is sitting in 13th place in the first place and can be within 1 basket of a totally amatuer outfit anyway?
How embarrassment if Twmba get their "replay" and get done again by Maroochy? Oo-ahh!
"Dastardly deeds perpetrated by evil scorebench volunteers".... now that make me laugh really hard hahaha. There has never been a scoreboard error in my entire time at M'dore, and although this 1 scoreboard issue gets all the attention because it wasn't corrected, there were actually 3 or 4 during the game (some of which went T'bas way) but all the others were corrected shortly after. The reason for suddenly having 3 or 4 errors in one game after having 0 in my lifetime I can only assume has something to do with being told we need to warm up at the other end and therefore go to that end in the first half, in accordance with a new fiba rule? Can anyone tell me why this rule was brought in and how it is the slightest bit practical? And about the replay being played at Maroochydore, we didn't ask for it but it was always going to be, and I do feel for the T'ba guys having to travel back up on a Sunday but you weren't going to end up with 10 home games and 8 away games.

the only reason I can see this rule of changing ends is so the coach can be on the offensive end for the last quater if things are tight. Myself as a coach I like to be on the defensive end so I can encourage my defense not the offense.

I guess that means if Maroochy travel to Cairns, where the Cairns Scorebench commit a correctable error that sees this same situation happen again, then they are happy to travel up to Cairns again for the replay. This could happen to any association. As for having the sacred scoresheet as being untouchable once the game is done, and thus open to abuse, maybe it's not a bad thing to be held accountable for how well you do your job. Mistakes do happen, but when they are immediately noticed and pointed out then it should at least be checked and this situation would never have happened if this had been done.

The rule is the hometown gets the choice of bench the away team gets the choice of which end to warm up at. Pop was trying to play mind games as Mdore had to abandon their usual warm up routine and traipse to the other end once Twba stood their ground on the issue. I did hear that the scorebench were a little confused by the change as they have done the job for years and teams have always started the game going the other way. Pops mind game blew up in his face on this one.

Sorry to burst your bubble on that little theory but Pop wasn't trying to play mind games, just following what he got told was FIBA rules that you had to warm up on the opposite court to your bench so that your team is then playing offense at their bench end in the final half. I have personally been told by a Qld referee coordinator that this is correct. Pop was also given this information by officials and was only going by what he was told was the current rule. So no mind games, just going by what he was told was right.

Trust your seeing the sarcasm Dunc.
Scorebench people arent known for intentional errors, especially not at Maroochydore.
IF there was an error, IF, and IF the ref was informed ,formally, (not a delegation of players and coaches yapping at him at an opportune time to break their oppositions momentum), then IF the ref decided it wasnt warranted and just another Pop mindgame, then thats the end of it.
Refs rules, scorsheet rules, game over.

I hear the game will be replayed on a Sunday in Maroochy, so if either team has new players before that date, will they be allowed to play? If it is a replay then I would be arguiing for only the players listed on that score sheet at the start of the game be allowed to play. Who covers Twmbas exspenses? QUOTE]
That's exactly right. The only problem is, I hear Stephen Kluck is unavailable for the rematch due to work commitments. He was a HUGE part of the game with 19 points and 16 rebounds from memory! This is a league of players where many have to WORK for a living. He took time off of work based around the games scheduled at the start of the season, NOT rescheduled games due to a scorebench error!
I don't think Toowoomba should be disadvantaged by having him not available to play. Rematch is NOT a suitable option if this is the case.
(Not sure if there are any other players not able to play on this date either)
what about maroochydore who played without their biggest player on the night due to work commitments also so should he not be allowed to play now because kluck is unavailable for the rematch or will bq cover maroochydores expenses to travel. either way one of these would have to travelk it is just unfortunate that they are so far apart. both teams do play at hime the night before if the game is to be rescheduled and with the clippers having 3 road doubles the last part of the season there isnt alot of room for the rematch and i beleive the date will be finalised around their schedule in the next week or 2

When you add 3 points to the wrong team, there is a 6 point error in the score which is why the supposed 2 point win by Maroochy was in fact a 4 point loss. You take 3 points off their 82 to make 79, while you add back Toowoombas 3 points to make 83 points.

I take it Duncan that you are one of the Maroochydore players? It must be tough on you guys to get stuck in the middle of all of this! I know that you all played hard on Saturday. You must have been so excited to see the last second shot go in and think that you'd won the game. It was a shame for both sides that all of this has come about due to a glitch in the score. I suppose nobody would have thought that so much interest could come from 2 teams struggling to get off of the bottom of the table. At least the game got a lot of peoples attention. If there is to be a rematch, there should be a lot of interest in it. It could be as big as the state of origin.
I was going to suggest meeting half-way, somewhere like Auchenflower, for a beer-in-hand, one-handed game of 3 point on the rack, last man standing? It didn't seem to get much positive support though...

WTF? Who needs to play games at all? Like the Trailer said "it's quite clear through all the posts" who won, so just put two teams lists up on bendoes and let the posts decide the outcome. Could make a job for some kid splicing together old video footage to add a bit of realism to The Trailer's new cyber-basketball world. (Selectively edit each week just to provide a bit of variety for the "fans"-gets rid of refs and scorers and everyones happy?!!)
Ben "does" basketball...literally!
Everyone at the stadium knew T'ba had won the game? Really, then why did we bother celebrating when we hit the winning shot to win the game 82-80? Any score error that occured happened early in the fourth quarter and therefore changes the context of everything that happens after that moment, it's not like we the players are responsible, all we can do is play to the scoreboard. If there was a scoreboard error then Toowoomba were unlucky to lose, but if we were stripped of our victory when all we can do is play to the scoreboard we too would be getting an unfair deal. If at that point for example we were down 4 instead of up 2, it changes how we play and who's to say we don't come back and win anyway? A replay is the only reasonable option. Enough said.

That is that unless changed within competitions "rules of competition" then FIBA rules will be followed and used at all times.

The complaint WAS lodged within the time frame, as a matter of fact the assistant coach was on the phone to BQ during the game. I'm also assuming the sheet area was ticked, or it wouldn't have been reviewed by BQ. No FIBA rules have been broken.
In relation to another comment, the captain and the coach are permitted to talk to the referees. Both the captain and the coach were trying to bring the discrepancy to the referees attention as soon as this happened, but they were dismissed. What else could the Mountaineers do, especially when it turns out they were correct in the end?? It turns out it wasn't such a 'tight' game in the end anyway...

A unique but unfortunate situation both teams are placed in. If they had another game later in the regular season, perhaps only the final quarter could have been replayed then, but alas. Are T-Bar expected to pay their own way for a replay? And as someone else has asked, will 'new' players be able to participate? Scott Kenny is about the only name I can think of that applies to this.

Luke Hedges is the other one and Izzy Tueta should be back from injury by then.
Surprised BQ even opted for a "replay", but if the farce is to be perpetuated then let them both call in whoever they want to play, including guys home from colleges and any NBL guys up for a run. Mitch, Brock and Jorden will be home by then and up the Coast doing some beaching?!

I guess that means if Maroochy travel to Cairns, where the Cairns Scorebench commit a correctable error that sees this same situation happen again, then they are happy to travel up to Cairns again for the replay. This could happen to any association. As for having the sacred scoresheet as being untouchable once the game is done, and thus open to abuse, maybe it's not a bad thing to be held accountable for how well you do your job. Mistakes do happen, but when they are immediately noticed and pointed out then it should at least be checked and this situation would never have happened if this had been done.

Why didn't the Maroochy players or coached say something to the ref or scorebench or to Tmba? Seems to me that if they were so sure a mistake hadn't been made then they would have disagreed with the protests at the time and insisted the scores were correct.
It's a bit rough that if they intentionally stayed silent, only to have it proved after the game that Tmba were right, to then expect Tmba to have a rematch at their expense. Seems like a pretty big lapse of any sportsmanship.

As has been said many times already, 3 or 4 scoreboard errors were made during the course of the game. The others were corrected almost immediately, so when this one happened we thought something may have been wrong but weren't sure if it had been corrected, then when the game was stopped and they checked with the scorebench and they said the scores were right, we continued the game and played to the scoreboard. We're players, not bench officials. So any suggestions of a lack of sportsmanship you can stick up your ass son (or daughter). I can't tell, you are unregistered (what a surprise). This will be my last post on the matter, I have given you all an account of what happened from a player's perspective, we thought we were up, we thought we'd hit the winning basket to win by 2, and if the score had been changed at the time who knows what would have been happened from that point because it changes the entire context of the game, thus why there is a replay on July 10.

Being neutral on this situation & watching the footage it is quite obvious the mistake was made , the coaches from both sides know a mistake has been made , any half descent coach knows how far his team is ahead or behind at any given time without looking at the score board in the last quarter in a tight game. I`m sure both coaches are experienced enough to know were their teams were at at that given time , coached for many years and at different levels and only relied on the score board for time remaining in the last quarter . This has to do about being honest by both parties. BQ basically admitted that there was a mojor issue by calling a replay of the game. As both teams have no real chance of making the finals i would be more inclined to have a meeting with the 2 coaches and see if they can come to a agreement and split the points this might not please either team but might be more of a simpler solution than the time and money that will be wasted especially for the T`Ba team considering it was not their score bench that had made the error .

What do you mean "on the outer"? Sounds like all the pieces have been put together for BBI and Spartans.
If BBI and Districts do not work together what chance does our sport really have. Lets face it an NBL program needs everyone within city supporting it. If true that Spartans have really alligned with Blaze then future sponsors would really have to think seriously about getting involved. As far as being on the outer when was last time you saw a basketball story in main stream media. We are on the outer already but the current great divide is just going to make it worse.

The reason is simple. BA are wanting every NBL team to have feeder program. SEABL will become new second tier. It is all done and dusted ask BQ.

Exactly right! Gladstone has asked for this pool structure I believe two years in a row now to avoid having to compete the 4 heavyweights of the competition, and why it has not been agreed to makes no sense to me. Definitely the most logical. Gladstone do their best to spend some cash and get recruits but they're just not going to be able to compete having to play 8 games against those 4 teams. Put them in Pool B and give them a chance of making playoffs.
