Basketball WA would like to express our heartfelt condolences on learning of the passing of Murray Treseder.

Murray came to Perth from Victoria in the mid 90’s to coach the Perth Breakers and the Women’s ITC Squad, working across WAIS and Basketball WA. He took the Breakers to the Grand Final in 1998-99, losing to the AIS led by Lauren Jackson. He then took over as National Coach of the Rollers after the Sydney Olympics, leading them to silver in Athens in 2004.

A strong supporter of the female pathway across the ITC squad and the Lynx for over 10 years, Murray helped develop some of WA’s best talent and was a stalwart of female and wheelchair basketball in WA and Australia.

We send our thoughts to Murray’s family during this time.
