And to close the show a thank you to Melbourne United Head Coach Dean Vickerman for being an incredible ally, so generous with his time and support for the LGBTQIA+ community on and off the court! Three time Coach of the Year, Dean is set to depart the club, following a historically successful run over the past nine seasons leading United to more wins than any other club (199), as well as a pair of NBL Championship victories (2018 and 2021). During that time he was committed to the club’s role in creating a safe, inclusive environment for everyone in basketball. (starts 43:10)

A big thank you to our wonderful guests for their support of an inclusive and supportive sporting culture and mindset, and encouraging everyone in the Rainbow community to get their game on!
