Goorjian keen for NBL return

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

Brian Goorjian has confirmed he's already turned down opportunities in order to further the Boomers' medal hopes.

Australian basketball legend Brian Goorjian has revealed his laser-focus ahead of the Boomers’ upcoming Olympic campaign has seen him turn down domestic opportunities.

Goorjian has traditionally combined his Boomers role with a domestic coaching job, but the demise of the Bay Area Dragons has meant the six-time NBL champion is currently only pursuing his current national responsibilities.

“I have already had a few offers domestically that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t able to because I am committed to this thing (Paris) and it needs my full attention,” Goorjian told Newscorp.

“The Olympics is the finish for me as the coach (of the Boomers), and that was the plan all along when I came back into it.

“Once that’s done I will definitely be coaching domestically, and I am wide open to whatever comes my way.”
