I have played Basketball in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets as well as in the NBL for the Brisbane Bullets. Since finishing my playing career, I have spent most of my time coaching people of all ages and abilities. I thoroughly enjoy passing on my love of the game.
I was drafted in 1987, with pick number 31, to the Denver Nuggets. I have also played briefly for the Milwaukee Bucks. I then spent some time playing in Spain and France. In 1990, I started my career playing in the NBL. Between 1990 – 2001 I played for the Brisbane Bullets, Hobart Devils and Cairns Taipans. I was named an NBL All Star three times for the Brisbane Bullets. I began my career as a coach once I finished playing professionally as I still had a huge passion for the game. I have a wide range of experience as a coach of all ages and both females and males. My particular focus is on improving the skills and fitness of players. I love helping to grow the game of Basketball in Australia. I also provide mentoring lectures to my clients, to help them understand the mental side of participating in a sport like Basketball. I am still very active in the game, playing in Masters games both locally and at the World Masters. In February 2018, I was humbled to be inducted in the Hall of Fame by Loyola University of Chicago and was also named to the schools All-Century Team. I am also available for events - parties, motivational speaking and conventions - so reach out if you have a special request! **All venue bookings are to be made by the client before the session date**

Andre is an incredible coach - very motivating, knowledgeable, and fully dedicated to the athletes growth and success. Our Son got a lot out of his session with Andre and he is really looking forward to the future sessions with him. One of the best in the game. Highly recommend.
Huddo’s session with Andre was fantastic!! Andre is such a legend, and was so lovely. He knows his stuff obviously and Huddo worked so hard willingly the whole session and absolutely loved it, he’s already asking me when we’re booking another session with Andre!!
Andre is more than a coach, its a mentor and motivator. My son was feeling a little "low" recently, Andre has this touch that kicks their drive and passion forward. He worked with my son on defense, speed and shooting technique. A absolute wonderful session I would never hesitate to contact Andre for another session
Andre is made for this. I saw my son's chest lift during the session, he has been on a high ever since. He has not got a ball out of his hand and just wants to improve so he can show Andre and make him proud. Andre acts like a life long friend, he is generous, considerate and so good at motivating and training child ...
Andre was excellent. He took the time to thoroughly assess all parts of my game to understand how he could best support my development. Looking forward to future sessions.
