United coach praises NZ Breakers, plans their downfall


READ MORE

Melbourne United coach Dean Vickerman spent countless hours helping New Zealand Breakers become one of the most respected basketball clubs in the world. But that won’t stop him plotting their downfall.


The two clubs will face off in the NBL semi-finals starting at Hisense Arena on Saturday and while his love for the Breakers remains, Vickerman is determined to lead his side to its first finals win under the United name.

Vickerman was assistant coach for the Breakers’ first three championships and led the club to a title as head coach. A number of his core players still play for the club and Vickerman, who was named NBL coach of the year earlier this week, is wary about praising his former chargers too highly.


“You have so much respect for those guys you have won with before and to try and tell them everything I know about some of those guys is going to be too much information,” Vickerman said.


“I’ve got to make sure I filter well, give them enough information and not put them too high on a pedestal as they all have weaknesses and you have to try to exploit them.”
