Farewell & Thank You – Murry Aldred

After more than a decade of service, Brisbane Basketball bids a heartfelt farewell to our Performance Program Manager, Murry Aldred, who has announced his resignation after 11 seasons.

Murry has been a driving force in shaping the Brisbane Capitals into Queensland’s most successful basketball performance program. His vision, leadership, and dedication have left an indelible mark on our athletes, coaches, and community.

Reflecting on his journey, Murry shared:

“I am sincerely grateful for the opportunities I have had to stretch myself and grow at BBI while stewarding the Brisbane Capitals and playing a small part in the overall program’s success these past 11 seasons. It has been a privilege to work alongside the management team, the staff at BBI, and the wider community of coaches, athletes, families, support services, and our game-day supporters who all make the Brisbane Capitals the most successful basketball performance program in Queensland.”

Across 11 seasons, Murry has:

• Designed and implemented the One Program performance system, synchronising juniors to seniors across pathways
• Overseen 28–32 representative teams each year and countless selection processes
• Supported the delivery of Academy programs, player development programs, camps, and performance workshops
• Guided over 600 coaches and team staff and thousands of players through their basketball journeys
• Played a role in 160+ athletes and 10 coaches reaching QLD State Team level, and 27 athletes and 2 coaches earning international representation
• Led the program through challenging times including COVID, the 2022 floods, and competition changes, while still reaching 134 Division 1 play-off appearances and 60 championship appearances

Murry’s impact goes far beyond statistics. He has been a mentor, leader, and champion of Brisbane basketball, inspiring the next generation of athletes and coaches with his passion and commitment.

On behalf of Brisbane Basketball and the entire Brisbane Capitals family, we extend our deepest gratitude to Murry for his tireless dedication and contribution. We wish him every success in his next chapter.

Thank you, Murry.
