United assistant Mitchell to be head coach of SE Melb team

How many NBL championships as an AC has downer won? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Mitchell has the 2008 championship with Tigers and last year's one with United.

Also if you've been paying attention you'd have noticed that downer is nowhere near Andre during the game, not exactly a ringing endorsement. Indicates that Boomers AC role is on shaky ground imo

Was downer at the tigers when Greer played ?

If yes, then will get a job

If no, then no

Hmmm, experience and charisma. Maybe they should have waited for Gaze, he should be free next year.

I really don't know about Mitchell coaching record or abulity but this smells of mates hiring mates.

Let's give him a chance, ey? Just because he wasn't successful in lower tiers, doesn't mean that he can't coach in the NBL... Look at Gaze... He wasn't successful with the Tigers and ... oh... well, nevermind... I'm sure he will do fine...

Yes, LK secretly controls every business owned by anyone who's ever been in the same room as him.

So the overseas dude is just a smoke screen for yet another LK team? Makes sense sadly.

A good story - Simon has come through the rank and file of state league basketball having known him when he was coaching Diamond Valley State Champ Men with no budget!

Great to see guys like himself not always in the High Performance side of things come up from state leagues, these stories aren't mentioned much - any other former state league coaches in the league???

People need to understand who controls the new Melbourne team then all decisions will make sense.

Creek will be announced as a signing soon enough.

Anstey as coach? Good one. Dud when head coach of Tigers (still can't believe they even hired him).

Is it wrong to hope that a former Magic player like Anstey or McKinnon got the head coaching gig, oh well

Although I would have liked a familiar name like Gordie or Shawn Dennis get the role, it's also good to elevate an assistant coach to the highest levels in Australian basketball.
