Copeland to coach in Geelong
BASKETBALL Geelong has scored a major coup by signing NBL legend Lanard Copeland as coach of its new Big V division one men's side.
One of the all-time NBL greats, Copeland will step straight into the role with Basketball Geelong as soon as his NBL season with the Adelaide 36ers is finished.
Copeland has declared his intention to retire as a player at the end of his 17th NBL season and saw the opportunity to coach Geelong as perfect for the next phase of his career.
``As soon as Geelong called me to see if I would be interested, I knew it was a job I wanted,' Copeland said.
