It seems this is possibly our best coaching group in well over a decade. They bring something different between each of them, successful in their own rights, and all command the respect and attention of players. Hopefully it pans out as we hope, as I can see this lot taking the boomers to the next step in international play

Great move, love Geordie as a coach, one of the best in the NBL for a long time, very under rated imo.

Lemmanis knows the value in having a wise old man like Gordie next to him, great Coaching line up to complement some great players.

This Boomers Team will be very very good.

Anons - I don't believe you can claim McLeod is underrated as a coach. He has been consistently praised by many on this forum, in the press and in other media over his coaching career. He is distinguished as an NBL coach and former Boomers' assistant coach in that no-one on this forum has bagged his coaching and achievements.

He's a previous NBL Coach of the Year recipient (2010) and is consistently mentioned as a CoTY candidate every year. He was often mentioned as a possible choice for the Boomers' head coaching job.
