Michael Hill played seven seasons in the NBL, playing for both the Canberra Cannons and the Brisbane Bullets. He averaged 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 235 NBL games and was a key part of Brisbane's 2007 championship, where he averaged 20 minutes per game coming off the bench. After winning an NBL championship in 2007 his NBL career was cut short thanks to the ineffective salary cap solution which was the NBL Points System. A system that was initially developed to create parity among the league and protect NBL teams from exiting the league aligned with one of the darkest periods of NBL history. He joins host Dan Boyce to give his first hand account of how the points system forced him to retire at age 29 despite being one of the country's best players off the bench and how it shunted the development of Aussie hoops for a decade.

The Sydney Kings are looking to become back-to-back champions. The Breakers are attempting to win their first title since 2015. Kane and Olgun get together prior to Game 1 to discuss the season series so far, key players, matchups and areas that could separate the two teams across five games.

The Melbourne Tigers left possibly the biggest imprint in Australian basketball history, winning four NBL championships in fifteen years (1993 to 2008) and being home to basketball royalty like Andrew Gaze, Lanard Copeland, Mark Bradtke and Chris Anstey. Al Westover, who was born in California and originally left the states to join the Tigers as a player during the 1970s, re-joined the team as a coach in 1992 and was a part of all four of the club's championship runs. Al, who left the Tigers after playing in one NBL season with the team, returned eight years later to assist head coach Lindsay Gaze, a partnership which lasted until 2005 when Lindsay retired, and Al was named head coach. In his first year as coach, Al not only won the NBL Coach of the Year Award but won the NBL championship with a re-tooled roster featuring Chris Anstey on his return from stints in the NBA and Europe. Two years later, Westover and Anstey won another NBL Championship, a feat that saw Westover become the first coach in NBL history to reach the Grand Final in each of his first four years as coach, resulting in two Championships and two Runners Up. Four NBL Championships and four runners-up later, Al was unceremoniously fired from his coaching role with the Tigers and never coached again in the NBL. Westover remains the second-winningest coach in NBL history (134-74 win-loss record). Topics include... Where Al Westover is coaching these days (2:00) Arriving in Australia as a player and memories of the VBL of the '70s and '80s (4:00) Why the Melbourne Tigers chose to play in the Victorian Basketball League instead of the NBL in the 1980s (7:00) Playing in the NBL during the 1980s and memories of the competition (10:00) Joining the Tigers as an assistant coach (11:00) How the Melbourne Tigers linked China to the NBL (14:00) The Tigers V Magic rivalry of the 1990s (17:00) The Tigers' first championship in 1993 (19:00) The second title in 1997 (21:00) How Lindsey and Alan juggled the coaching responsibilities of the team between 1992 and 2005 (24:00) Taking over as coach in 2005 and adding Chris Anstey to the roster (25:30) Winning the 2006 championship as head coach of the Tigers (27:00) Falling short to the Brisbane Bullets in 2007 (32:00) Coaching Chris Anstey (36:00) Coaching against his former Tigers teammate Brian Goorjian (40:00) Facing the South Dragons in the Tigers' fourth Grand Final in four years (44:00) Did the ‘Gaze Era' Melbourne Tigers underachieve by only winning two titles (48:00) The Tigers sack Al Westover despite delivering 4 Grand Final appearances in five seasons (49:30) Coaching in Japan (57:00) The highlights and learning moments of his basketball journey (59:00) Visit dunk.com.au for your next set of basketball uniforms.

Between 2007 and 2012, he served as an assistant coach for the New Zealand Breakers helping them win 3 championships in a row. In 2013, he became head coach of the New Zealand Breakers. And in the 2014–15 season, he guided the Breakers to their fourth NBL Championship in five years. In March 2017, Dean was appointed head coach of Melbourne United and a year later they won the NBL Championship. And in 2018 and again in 2019 he was voted NBL Coach of the Year. Dean was wonderful to talk and very generous with his time. The highlights of our discussion are his description of their team trademarks and why it's important that they try to make someone else in the team better. How he trusts and works with his assistants, and he shares a great story from their championship game when there is 1.7 seconds left on the clock to illustrate this; and the way he uses Blue zone thinking to remain calm. If you would like to send us any feedback or if you know a great coach, who has a unique story to share, then we would love to hear from you, please contact us at thegreatcoachespodcast@gmail.com or contact us through our website thegreatcoachespodcast.com

Identified as a leader from an early age, this point guard captained the 2003 Australian U19 team at the World Championships where they won their first ever gold at the competition.  He honed his talents in the US at Loyola Marymount University but returned home to play for the West Sydney Razorbacks from 2007-09 in the NBL.He brought success back to the Perth Wildcats when he joined them in 2010, giving them their first Championship in a decade in his first season with the new club. Four years later he would repeat the feat as he surpassed 200 NBL games and made an All-NBL team for the fourth consecutive year. Damo was also a part of the 2016 Rio Olympic squad. Perth made the Grand-final once again in the 2016/2017 season and subsequently defeated the Illawarra Hawks leading Damo to win his fourth NBL Championship.  In the 2017-18 season, he was named the NBL's best defensive player for a record sixth time.
