Wells focuses on coaching not NBL body-shaming saga
By Jasper Bruce
Adelaide coach Mike Wells has sidestepped a question about the club’s body-shaming complaint to the NBL, but doubled down on his refereeing critique on the eve of the championship series’ fourth game.
Wells described facing questions about the slanging match between 36ers owner Grant Kelley and Sydney assistant coach and co-owner Andrew Bogut as lying among “the fine-print of the coaching job”.
The 36ers contacted the NBL on Monday over what the club called Bogut’s “persistent and repeated personal attacks” towards Kelley, whom he allegedly targeted with a body-shaming comment after Adelaide’s game-two win on Friday.
