Le 20/12/2009 à 17:49News (in English...) 2009Disgraced former Olympic champion sprinter and convicted criminal Marion Jones is considering training, and possibly playing for Melbourne WNBL team Bulleen Boomers.
Bulleen coach Tom Maher, said today Jones needed to get into "team training" after working out individually off-season with former Australian Olympic star Sandy Brondello at WNBA club San Antonio.
"Her connections feel it might be better to come to a league that focuses on development", Maher said of the prospect of the American joining his 13/1 team.
"She needs team as well as individual training now - five on five", he said.
Maher said that if Jones decided to prepare for a career in the American professional ranks, she would choose between Europe or Australia, but his club was the best fit.
"We hang our hat on individual development ... of all clubs (in Australia) Bulleen holds itself as a cutting edge development club ... plus we have three Olympic coaches (himself, Michelle Timms and Gary Fox) ... It's a no-brainer."
