Goorjian eyes NBA

A ROLE in the NBA has emerged as a genuine option for Boomers coach Brian Goorjian after he resigned as Illawarra Hawks coach.

Goorjian, 68, has been swamped with interest since deciding not to activate the third year of his Hawks deal.

The NBL’S most successful coach has achieved everything in basketball, except coach in the NBA. The master mentor is highly respected in NBA circles and has connections with a host of franchises.

Working in the NBA would also allow him to collaborate more closely with Boomers players like Josh Giddey, Patty Mills and Jock Landale in the lead up to the Paris Olympics.
