I've been at home sick with a cold for the last few days and didn't have a chance to submit my votes this month for the NBL Player and Coach of the Month awards.
I see the news this morning that both the awards went to the Adelaide 36ers, Scott Ninnis (pictured right) for the coach and Julius Hodge as the player. Click on the title below to read the full story.
The awards just highlight what a strange situation it is as the 36ers were doing so well, they were climbing up the ladder and then the Julius Hodge incident happens and he's now no longer in the league.

The Adelaide 36ers have swept the National Basketball League’s monthly awards for December, with controversial import Julius Hodge taking Player of the Month honours, and mentor Scott Ninnis claiming Coach of the Month.
The double-honour is undoubtedly bittersweet for the 36ers, who saw Hodge walk out on the club recently over a pay dispute. Hodge played six games for the 36ers in December, averaging a league-high 27.5 points as well as 6.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks. He also shot the ball at 59% from the field for the month.
