Supercat coach O'Loughlin becomes Wildcats assistant

JAMIE O'Loughlin has labelled his appointment as lead assistant coach with Perth as the next step in his coaching journey.

O’Loughlin, who is in his fifth season as head coach of the McDonald’s Geelong Supercats, will join the reigning NBL champions ahead of the 2014/15 season.

The announcement O’Loughlin will become part of the coaching staff of second-year Wildcats coach Trevor Gleeson comes less than a week before he joins the Australian under-17 men’s team for his World Championship campaign.

Well done. Local geelong guy made good. Huge basketball fan that struggled on the court but found a calling off it and is now in the NBL. Good example to players who may not get it done but still get involved.

Why isn't Woolpert staying for the season?

Well deserved, great to see coaches from a regional area get this kind of opportunity. It will do wonders for coaching back home and in the local area when he returns with all the experience and knowledge he gains...

Hasn't worked with Gleeson previously as far as I am aware.

the fact that Trevor GLeeson was living in Warrnambool and made regular trips to Geelong prior to getting the wildcats job, tells me that he may have had some dealings with jamie before.

Woolpert is only filling in until Gleeson returns from World Championships.

When - for the rest of the season or next year?

For the rest of the season, Leon O'Neill who was going to be coaching the team this week and during Jamie's absence with his Australian u-17 commitments.

As for next year, I guess the club may do the same for the guys as they will most likely be doing with the girls team and advertising for a couple of new head coaches.

This from the outside seems like a good story. Looks like the guy has done his yards, not been handed anything without earning it and used the pathway to his own advantage.

675, why the negativity?

Care to tell us about your great achievements so we can all not give a crap?

I don't know the coach in question at all, but good on him.
