McKinnon Cougars Announce 2025 Big V Coaching Lineup
The McKinnon Basketball Association is thrilled to announce our Big V coaching team for the highly anticipated 2025 season. With a mix of returning champions and exciting new signings, our Big V programme is ready to soar to new heights.
Here’s a look at our incredible coaching team for 2025:
Ryan Potter - Youth League Women (New Signing)
Ryan joins us after a stellar 2024 season, where he led the U18-1 Girls to the VC Finals and the prestigious National Junior Classic. He also played a pivotal role in guiding our Youth League Women to their first-ever Championship in 2024, qualifying them for the VYC Qualification Tournament in 2025. Ryan’s passion for development and winning culture will be key to driving our Youth League Women forward next season.
Daniel Gianchino - Youth League Men (Returning)
Daniel’s first year as Head Coach in 2024 was nothing short of impressive. Under his leadership, the Youth League Men finished with a dominant 19-3 record, securing 1st place and a thrilling finals run. They also qualified for the VYC Qualification Tournament in 2025, a testament to Daniel’s impact and vision for the team. We’re excited to see Daniel continue to build on this success.
Nathan Geer - Championship Women (New Signing)
Nathan brings a wealth of experience and success to the Championship Women’s team. As the current Basketball Development Manager of the McKinnon Cougars and a 3x Gold Medal winner with the U16 Boys Vic Metro, Nathan has a proven track record of success. He was also the Assistant Coach of the Championship Women in 2016 and 2017 and is currently the Head Coach of the U16 Boys Vic Metro State Team for 2025. We’re excited to have Nathan back leading our Senior Women’s program!
