SURREY SCORCHERS PART WAYS WITH COACH CREON
Creon Raftopoulos is out as head coach of Surrey Scorchers.
The Zimbabwean, the club said in a short statement, will be leaving his role of Director of Basketball for Surrey Sports Park on 31 May 2022.
The Scorchers finished bottom of the BBL last term as injuries and a low budget hit their hopes.
Raftopoulos had been in charge since the Scorchers were reformed in 2015 from the ashes of Guildford Heat, where he had been in charge from 2010-13.
The statement added: “After a number of productive years with us in this position, Creon and we came to the mutual decision that it was time for him to move on and explore other opportunities. We wish him all the very best in his future endeavours.”
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.
