For those that don't know much about Bassett before he started coaching at AFL level.
After a very solid AFL career as a full back/Back Pocket he took over the head coaching position at Norwood in the SANFL.
Norwood had been on the bottom of the ladder for the previous 5-6 years and he took them to a threepeat, not to mention after each year he lost min 4 of his best players to the AFL. (Imagine losing Viney, Langdon, Kossie and Jackson after 2021)
Not only did he turn the Norwood football club around, he turned a bunch of guys into AFL standard footballers. A lot of them were mature ago too not just kids with talent.
