Vincent Lavandier has been named as the head coach of Glasgow Rocks until the end of the season.
The Frenchman was confirmed on Thursday, two weeks after the surprise exit of Darryl Wood at the Emirates Arena.
He will arrive in this weekend and take charge for the first time in an away trip to Newcastle Eagles on March 8.
“My coming to Glasgow Rocks as head coach is a great opportunity, and a pride,” he said.
“Moreover, I am satisfied to meet Gareth Murray and Greg Pryor whom I coached in France.
“However, the road will be long and difficult to go to the playoffs. I count on the daily involvement of players to make a major effort to succeed in this challenge. The whole team will have to work even more.”
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.
