Thunder after men’s coach

Keilor Thunder is on the hunt for a new National Basketball League 1 South men’s coach for next season.

The club on its social media said it was seeking to appoint a new men’s coach and a high performance manager.

Liam Glascott has coached the men’s side since 2017 while he has held the titles of director of coaching and high performance manager during his time.

The club announced some interim positions while they look to fill the roles.

“Megan Jarvis has been appointed in the caretaker role of director of coaching, effective immediately,” the club said. “Megan will be assisted by NBL1 women’s head coach Kristi Harrower and youth league men’s head coach Dylan Cole.

“KBA is very fortunate to have skilled, and importantly highly respected people, such as Megan, Kristi and Dylan to provide support for our basketball community and ensure our programs continue to be provided to a high level in a safe environment.

“Keilor Basketball Association is committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for the entire community.”

Glascott coached the side from Big V division 1 through to championship men before continuing the role in the NBL1 competition.

The Thunder men are yet to make the finals in the NBL1 South competition. They finished 10th this year, missing out on head-to-head, their best finish.

The Thunder in its job advertisement said the association is seeking a skilled and motivated coach to lead the program.

“As the head coach of our NBL1 men’s team, you will play a pivotal role in providing exceptional leadership, direction, and purpose to the team,” the advertisement said “The head coach will be responsible for the technical preparation of the team and will collaborate closely with youth league coaches to identify and nurture upcoming talent within the association. The successful candidate will be entrusted to lead the flagship NBL1 program of Keilor Basketball Association.”
