Twenty-seven SuperCoach NBL coaches clocked up more the 500 points in Round 1 of Beat the Coach.
Team Powell won the round with a monster score of 534 with Melbourne United's Jesse Edwards ($277,000) as captain, Tasmania's Bryce Hamilton ($277,000) as vice captain, Rob Baker II ($277,000), Finn Delaney ($143,200), Tyson Walker ($277,000), and Fabijan Krslovic ($143,200) filling out the rest of the roster.
Beat the Coach Montrezl Harrell had a week to forget both on and off the court. His SuperCoach NBL team crashed with just 328 points with his stacked JackJumpers team not delivering in its two games as speculation he is about to be released by the 36ers turns from mumble to rumble.
