36ers Release Head Coach Conner Henry

The Adelaide 36ers have today released Conner Henry from the final year of his coaching contract, effective immediately.

With preseason training yet to begin, and plans forming for the upcoming 2021-22 NBL Season it was determined that Coach Henry's direction and that of the Club were not ideally matched and the decision to release the coach was made accordingly.

The decision allows the Club to now consider available options and move strongly towards the recently announced Hungry Jacks NBL season start date of November 18th.

36ers GM of Basketball, Jeff Van Groningen said, "While decisions such as these occur regularly in professional sport and are part of the business, they are never easy. Coming off a challenging season we now pivot to the future and we felt that the fit between Conner and the Club was not aligned as we move to that future. On behalf of Chairman Grant Kelley, the staff, players and those that support our Club, I thank Conner for his time and efforts and wish him well into the future.
