Sam Mackinnon has had to accept his fate that he only got to coach the South East Melbourne Phoenix for three games this season, but the Australian basketball great wants to see more local coaches receiving opportunities in the NBL.
Mackinnon has coached the Phoenix since the sacking of Mike Kelly after their 0-5 start to NBL25, and he took them to wins against Melbourne United and the New Zealand Breakers.
