Troy Culley, Craig Nicol to Coach in Hoopsfix All-Star Classic Underclassmen Game – #HASC19

Myerscough’s Troy Culley and City of Edinburgh’s Craig Nicol have been selected to coach in the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic Underclassmen game on Sunday June 2nd in Brixton.

Both stalwarts of the British game, they bring national team experience, with Culley currently assisting with the England Under-15 programme, whilst Nicol assists with the Great Britain Under-16 squads, and have both experienced success domestically.

Culley, who is coming off leading Myerscough to 5 national titles this season, including Under-18 National League, will head up Team Black and Nicol, who was involved with Scotland’s Commonwealth Games squad and was Basketball Scotland’s Performance Coach of the Year 2016 and Regional Development Coach of the Year 2016, will lead Team White in the game tipping off at 2pm on Sunday, which has now officially sold out (tickets still available for Saturday by clicking here).

“The Hoopsfix All Star Classic is a great occasion that brings all the top junior players and basketball community together,” Culley commented. “I am really excited to have the opportunity to be involved this year and play a small part in showcasing what the UK has to offer!”

Nicol added:

“It’s an honour to be asked to coach at the event. I have been fortunate to work with a lot of these kids through previous national team groups so it will be good to work with them again and see how they have progressed.”

Proud sponsors of the event include Nike, Molten, Sportserve Ltd, 5or6, ESPN Player, Let Me Play and Always Ballin’.

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.
