Bob Turner was coach and marketing guru for the Sydney Kings during their successful run in the 1990's where 10,000 people were attending every game, the team was making $1 million in profit each year and players like Dwayne McClain were getting their own shoes from Reebok.

Andrew Bogut agreeing to play with the Kings gives the team the best chance of returning (or eclipsing) the kings to their former glory.

Bob has 20 years of experience playing, coaching, marketing and running NBL teams. He joined us on the show to talk about the impact Andrew Bogut will have on the Sydney Kings, the NBL and the future of Australian Basketball
