Brisbane Bullets have appointed Will Weaver as their new head coach and president of basketball operations. Weaver replaces Darryl McDonald, who held an injury-ravaged squad together as interim head coach for the Bullets' last 15 games of the season. The former Boomers assistant was confirmed as the club's new head coach on Wednesday. Weaver led the Kings to the 2019-20 minor premiership before the NBL called off the finals series with Perth leading 2-1 and Sydney unwilling to travel west, citing COVID-19 safety concerns. He then was pipped for the Oklahoma City Thunder top job by Mark Daigneault, instead working as a Houston assistant, before a stint as Paris Basketball head coach between further appointments with a number of NBA teams. The Bullets have made just one post-season appearance since their return to the league, and have not finished higher than seventh in the past four years. They were regular finalists in the late 1990s, but the last of their three championships came in 2007, when the Bullets won 21 straight games to claim the title. The Bullets copped criticism for appointing Lash, who had no professional head-coaching experience. "Will has all the attributes of a great coach and his resume attests to that," club boss Malcolm Watts said. The WNBL plans to expand from eight to 10 teams next season, with Tasmania already locked in as the long-standing league's newest franchise. "Angel is a fantastic ambassador for basketball and a globally recognised superstar," Watts said of the two-time WNBA All-Star's investment. "Basketball is Queensland's fastest-growing sport, and having Angel involved as we pursue a WNBL team is a huge asset."
