Farwell to Head Coach Luke Sunderland

Ballarat Miners NBL1 Head Coach and Director of Coaching, Luke Sunderland, has announced that his time with Ballarat will come to an end after making the decision with his family to move back over to Western Australia.

Coming to our program from the Willetton Basketball Association, Luke was appointed to the dual role in February of 2022 and in this time has made an impact in both roles for which we are very grateful and appreciative of.

With one year remaining on his contract, Luke was planning on leading the Miners towards a finals charge in the NBL1 South 2024 season however, with family front of mind he has made the decision to head back to Western Australia. Luke will finish up with us on October 13^th.

On behalf of the Ballarat Miners and Ballarat Basketball Association, we would like to thank Luke, Mandy and their 3 children for his contribution to our program and wish them all the very best for the future.
