Matt Shanahan named as Head Coach of Chelsea Gulls

^Agree.

Or at the very least not shaft the poor bloke.

Coaches that can give that sort of service are invaluable (and incredibly rare).

If you include the Bayside Blues era, Bill was coach for over 20 years. You'd think they would've named a grand stand after him??

Seem to recall reading somewhere that Gerard Hellier has been at Sth Pen with the same team since 2011. Decent effort to be fair

I know its not Big V but I believe Bill Runchey was on the sidelines for Frankston Men (SEABL) for about 17 years. Surely that would be the longest with one team in senior Victorian basketball

A few that come to mind that were(or still are) there for a while...
Ross Moll (Whittlesea Men) was there for quite some time.
Gerard Hellier has been at SP for about 6 years now ?
Tim Mottin & Ken Harrington have been at Ringwood for ages (I know they're NBL1 now)
Glenn Reese(?) was at Hawthorn men for quite some time too.
James Madigan @ Mildura is still going after several years ?

Most Coaches don't seem to lastmore than 2 years though PersonalFoul.

"Slow times in the 100m sprint"

Laughed too hard at this.

3-5 years would be a great effort in Big V with all that goes on.

It'd be tough for coaches in Big V to get really long duration not only having to try and get results which vary greatly for a number of factors but the time commitment year after year is massive and personal situations change

The next coach always looks more exciting than the current one???

Who is the longest serving coach at any one time for a club?

I wonder if he had any references from Knox?

What is his track record?

Did they look at his track record?

Henry turned in a scorcher on Saturday night as the Kings pulled off a stunning upset win over the New Zealand Breakers, 75-62.

The 180cm American thrilled the sell-out crowd at the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre by scoring a round-high 29 points, as well as adding five rebounds and three assists. Henry scored 14 fourth-quarter points, including three big three-pointers to help seal the boilover win over the defending Champions.

Perth Wildcats duo Kevin Lisch and Mike Dunigan were also both legitimate candidates for the weekly hardware in Round 10. Import Dunigan impressed on debut for the Wildcats in their 80-68 home win against Wollongong on Friday, scoring 19 points and adding four rebounds and one block. He then added 16 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and one block as the ‘Cats overpowered the Adelaide 36ers 91-85 in overtime on Sunday.

Lisch had 14 points, three rebounds and two assists in Perth’s win over Wollongong and then helped drive the 36ers to victory against Adelaide. After a slow first half by his own lofty standards, the reigning NBL MVP took the game over at the end of regulation and led Perth to the win in the extra period. He had 18 points, two rebounds, two steals and one assist for the match.

Townsville Crocs duo Luke Nevill and Gary Ervin also were legitimate candidates for the Round 10 honours. The giant Nevill had 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks, while Ervin added 26 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals as the Crocs recorded their second win of the season with an 85-84 home win over Melbourne.

Other contenders for Player of the Week in Round 10 included Chris Goulding (Melbourne), Daniel Johnson (Adelaide), CJ Bruton (New Zealand), Jonny Flynn (Melbourne) and Oscar Forman (Wollongong).
