“A couple days later I got a call from Ottis asking that we meet, as he was ready for us to start the formalities in terms of appointing his support staff‚” Moroe testified. “Ottis came back and gave me feedback‚ and obviously negative feedback on Geoffrey Toyana‚ which was not surprising.“That also surprised me, purely because Toyana and Adams were the most successful coaches in the country and Malibongwe had only been a franchise coach for one season.”
