LORENZO REMAINS IN GB CHARGE
Alberto Lorenzo will stay in interim charge of Great Britain for the summer’s World Cup qualifiers.
The Spaniard, who took over caretaker following the ousting of Tony Garbelotto after initially signing on as an assistant to Joe Prunty in 2014, will be at the helm for the games against Estonia and Israel at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena in the international window which opens at the end of June.
He is currently 0-2 with GB yet to win a game in their group and needing two victories – and other results to go their way – to have any chance of progressing into the second phase of qualification.
The contest against Estonia on June 29 is expected to see captain Kieron Achara pick up his 100th cap for GB.

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
