Former Great Britain men’s head coach Joe Prunty joins the MVP Cast.
The American recounts his five-year run in charge of the national team and the ups and downs of a programme that shifted markedly following the London 2012 Olympics.
We talk his approach to building buy-in and bringing through young players as older ones took their leave and how it led to his recent spell at the helm of Team USA.
He recalls his spell as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, the greatest players he has worked with during various stops in the NBA – and his plans for the future.

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.
