Vince Macaulay named BBL Coach Of the Year for 2018-19

By Sam Neter on May 13, 2019

Vince Macaulay has scooped the honour of being crowned Molten Ed Percival BBL Coach of the Year after guiding London Lions to a historical and landmark campaign.

The play-caller, who also won the accolade more than a decade ago, delivered the first ever BBL Championship title in the history of the franchise, completing a silverware double, with Lions having also landed the BBL Cup earlier in the campaign.

“I’m delighted to win the award – 11 years apart is quite a gap, but this is a reward for all my coaching staff, the players and our fans,” said Macaulay.

“Winning the league is a huge achievement for us. The improvement on last year, our highest finish, going one better, making it to those Finals, it’s tremendous for London and I’m proud of everyone.”

Macaulay was the overwhelming winner in the race to secure the gong – dominating the votes cast by all BBL clubs.

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.
