Tom Maher - Head Coach
Tom Maher has an impressive coaching CV at club and international level, leading Australia, as well as New Zealand and China to Olympic Games. Maher's trips to the Olympics included bringing medals home, with a silver and bronze for Australia in 2000 and 1996 respectively and a fourth-placed finish for China in Beijing in 2008. He is now looking towards his fifth Olympics in London 2012 should the GB Standard Life women's team be granted a place.
Maher took up the challenge of guiding the GB women's team in May 2009, replacing Mark Clark. Maher led the women through a fantastic and historical 2010 EuroBasket qualifier campaign which saw the women qualify for a EuroBasket Championship for the first time which will be held in Poland in 2011.
Among others, Maher coached the Opals and the Bulleen Boomers in the WNBL and is recognised as one of the most successful coaches in the history of the WNBL, winning six world championships and two coaches of the year awards. He was inducted into the Australia Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
