  • 2019 NBL Season Preview Extravaganza (Part Two)

    2019 NBL Season Preview Extravaganza (Part Two)
    Apr 10 2019
    The Classic NBL Podcast has been temporarily brought out of retirement to preview the upcoming 2019 New Zealand NBL season.

    While there will be no weekly podcast this season - cue cries of desperation from the tens of devoted listeners - Niall Anderson and Sam Garriock had enough takes that they wanted to get out onto the ol' world wide web that they decided to put together a two-part NBL preview extravaganza, for old times' sake.

    In Part Two, the guys discuss the league having games broadcast on SKY this year, the league's expansion into Australia, and preview the fortunes of the Southern Huskies, Hawke's Bay Hawks [well, kinda...], Wellington Saints and Southland Sharks.

    Thanks for listening - see you for the World Cup?

    Ep 41: Breakers Analytics Manager Andrew Price
    Jul 13 2018
    On possibly the nerdiest ever episode of the Classic NBL Podcast (and believe me, that's saying something), Sam Garriock catches up with Breakers Analytics Manager Andrew Price to discuss how he went from a fan blogging about the ANBL to becoming a member of the Breakers' staff. There's plenty of statistical discussion, and Andrew also gives some insight into what to expect from the Breakers this year.
