Wolfpack Basketball's 2018 initiative, the Coach of the Month recipient, recognises our club's coaching talent and commitment across the entire Association. Yes that's Domestic, WABL and SBL.

Each month a coach will be recognised for their attitude, work ethic and alignment to our club vision.

Every monthly winner enters the draw at year end to win a $500 coaching grant, to better their skills and further develop their game experience and education.

Congratulations DOUG GATES - our August winner!

Doug’s ongoing and seamless transition from player to coach took a huge step in 2018 with him delivering a SBL Division 1 Championship with his super talented roster for the Wolves in a spirited Grand Final against the Kalamunda Eastern Suns.

Doug is a x375 SBL game stalwart for the Joondalup Wolves, a lethal shooter with great size, proving hard to defend for opponents across the length of his excellent career.

The Doug Gates story is one of resilience, talent, hard-work and a case study in getting the very best out of oneself as an athlete and as a team-mate and role model.

Doug’s ability to utilise this knowledge and experience gained over such a long and successful Wolves SBL career has been a huge asset for the club, and for his young team.

Named a Life Member in late 2017, Doug continues to contribute to the Wolves, and his popularity and knowledge - now in a coaching capacity - have been hallmarks of his multiple decades relationship with the Association.

Well done Doug!
