Adam Caporn appointed new head coach of Australian Boomers

Adam Caporn has been appointed as the head coach of the Australian Boomers, succeeding Brian Goorjian after serving as an assistant since 2017. Caporn, currently an assistant with the Washington Wizards, has an extensive coaching background, including head coach of Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence and the G-League's Long Island Nets. He was selected from a pool of finalists and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, citing the mentorship he received from previous Boomers coaches. Caporn aims to build on the team’s legacy, especially following their historic Olympic bronze medal win in Tokyo. Dean Vickerman, coach of Melbourne United, will serve as associate head coach, stepping in when Caporn's NBA commitments conflict with Boomers duties. Caporn's appointment is seen as a promising move for the future of Australian basketball.
