Stirling and Mickan in to Hall of Fame
South Australian basketball royalty Jan Stirling and Pat Mickan will be recognised for their outstanding contribution to the game as part of the Australian Basketball Hall of Fame at the Class of 2013 induction dinner to be held later this month.
Stirling, one of the most successful coaches in Australian sport, led the Jayco Australian Opals to victory at the 2006 FIBA World Championships and two Olympic silver medals in addition to a WNBL coaching career that garnered four titles with the Adelaide Lightning.
Mickan was a key piece of the Australian Opals machine throughout the late 1970's and 80’s, competing at two Olympic games and three World Championships before becoming the scribe for women’s basketball in South Australia as a columnist for the Adelaide Advertiser.
