Chris Lucas Is United
Geelong United Basketball (GUB) is pleased to announce the signing of our inaugural WNBL Head Coach, Chris Lucas (2 year contract).
Lucas, a strong advocate for Women’s sport, has spent his entire career working exclusively in Women’s basketball leagues, and brings a wealth of experience to Geelong United.
Chris has a proven track record in the WNBL, coaching Townsville to back to back WNBL championships from 2014-2016 – An achievement which would see him appointed as the Assistant Coach of the Australian Opals, which won a silver medal at the 2018 World Cup in Spain.
And now a new and exciting challenge lies ahead, as Lucas takes the reigns of a brand new franchise – “I haven’t felt this way in a long time. I’m very excited, and very appreciative to Mark Neeld (GUB CEO) and the Board for giving me this opportunity.”
