NBL EXPERIENCE

Eddie Gill made his NBL debut with the Townsville Crocodiles at 33 years of age. He scored 13 points in his first game.

Most remember Eddie Gill playing out of his skin in Melbourne, putting 27 points in a half on Patty Mills, but few will remember this game played just prior to Christmas.

Gill also exploded for 26 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block in 26 minutes during a game against the Sydney Kings on December 23 2011. Townsville would defeat the Kings 100-93. In a quiet, but brilliant effort Gill hardly missed shooting 8/11 from the field and 5/6 from downtown and the charity stripe.

Eddie Gill played one season in the NBL. He averaged 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 31 NBL games.

NBL Tribunal Needs Overhaul After a Decade of Inconsistencies

This week, the NBL Tribunal gave its ruling on New Zealand’s Freddie Gillespie for headbutting Sydney’s Shaun Bruce, issuing a two-game suspension (reduced to one game with an early guilty plea).
