Founder/Director - Who's That Girl Basketball

Greg is the Founder and Director of Who's That Girl Basketball, and has been building the organisation from the ground up in the background from when it was just an idea in his mind. Greg recognised the lack of a platform for elite junior women's basketball in the U.K. and made it his goal to address that issue.

"Being that I coach junior women's basketball at one of the biggest clubs in the country, I see a lot of talent on the floor every day in practice, and every weekend when we compete. The trouble is, a lot of these incredibly gifted girls don't receive any provision outside of their club practices and games, and a lot of that shuts down completely between May and August. They just don't know that a long term future in basketball is an option. With Who's That Girl's stated goals of growing the profile of women's basketball and providing an elite performance environment for its leading juniors, there is a lot of work ahead to be done to raise our game to global respectability. There are many people around the country besides myself who would like to see that become a reality. I believe, however that this is necessary work, and I will continue to chase that goal, and hopefully grow the organisation to where its providing for all levels of British female basketball."

Little known fact: Since 2015, Greg's official title has been Lord/Laird of Chaol Ghleann after he purchased a plot of land in Scotland.
