Meet our efficient and qualified team.
General Manager
I got into Basketball at Logan Park High School where we made the final of schools nationals, and I then played junior rep Basketball for Otago. After finishing my degree in Physical Education at Otago University I worked abroad for a number of years in the sports industry in Australia and Britain, including as Chief Executive of Tennis Wales, and then Chief Executive of Wellington Hockey when I returned to New Zealand. Now back in Dunedin as General Manager of Basketball Otago and we are aiming to maximise and build on Basketball in Otago being the number one participation sport at secondary schools.
Game Development Manager
My name is Greg Brockbank, I am the Game Development Manager at Basketball Otago.
Contact me for anything related to the Rep Program, Tournaments, Mens and Womens Club, Mens and Mixed Social, Referees, Academies and Talent ID.
I studied at Bayfield High School and Otago University, graduating with a Bachelor of Physical Education and have been working at Basketball Otago ever since.
I enjoy the varied nature of the role I am in, and actively participate in competitions as much as possible, refereeing and coaching at numerous levels.
The highlights of my career to date, include being involved in our Mens and Womens NBL teams as well as the travel overseas and around the country and the people I have been able to meet in the sport.

My name is Matt Brown, I am the Community Development Officer at Basketball Otago.
I studied a Kaikorai Valley College Bachelor of Education Studies endorsed in Physical Education and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching at Otago University and have taught for 6 years in Primary, Intermediate and Secondary school since.
Since finishing high school I have coached provincially for Otago Touch, in many age groups from U11 to U21. A highlight of my coaching career would be winning a national title as part of the coaching team for the 2015/16 U21 Otago mixed team. I am currently playing for the Otago Open Mixed.
I enjoy the active nature of my role, seeing children enjoying themselves on the court, getting new members involved in Basketball and coordinating local school competitions.
Workforce and Competitions Officer
Born and bred in Oamaru and recently spent that last 6 years in Ōtautahi before moving back down South at the end of 2021.
I have been involved in Basketball since I was in Primary School and started officiating at the age of 13, following my Dads foot steps. In 2018, I started Referee Training and have continued to train and to support young officials on their development in the game.
