Pete Strickland to be replaced by 'Ireland-based' head coach

Irish basketball chiefs have invited applications for a total of seven international team coaching positions, most notably the men’s senior role which signifies an end to the two-year term of US-based men’s head coach Pete Strickland.

Basketball Ireland CEO Bernard O’Byrne confirmed last night that they had parted ways on “extremely amicable terms” with Strickland, who will continue in a US-based ambassadorial role and will head up a camp, if required, of Irish young talent based stateside.
