The senior NT squad are under new leadership for the first time since season season 51 as Vycka takes over from Bergkamp. Bergkamp had a successful reign as he was able to increase the world ranking from 50th to 37th, finishing with record of 37 wins and 17 losses over his 4 seasons.
Vycka comes in to the role with a strong resume with BC Zalgiris, 4 time back-to-back EBBL champion between season 49 and 52 and a 2 time NT cup winner
Vycka’s squad looks similar to the squad Bergkamp has success with last season. Notable additions to the squad are SF Sean Hargreaves, C Desmond Thomas and C James Fotheringham. Veterans SG Phil Marichal and SF Aarumughasami Lai make the squad at aged 36 and 35 respectively. Last seasons top scorers SF Alexey Sanders and PF Ken Greene return as does leading rebounder and assister C Hank Easton.
The NT squad begin their European campaign against 70th ranked Iceland. Vycka will be looking to pick up his first win as England coach. The other teams in our group are: Switzerland, Germany, Finland, Armenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Cyprus. England find themselves the 4th highest ranked team in the group, so Vycka faces a difficult challenge to qualify from the group.
