North Lanarkshire Titans Basketball Club have pulled off a signing coup after appointing highly experienced Namibian national coach Manuel ‘Lito’ Carballo as their first team coach and head of youth development.
The outfit - who hold classes for youngsters in Motherwell, Wishaw, Airdrie and Coatbridge - are gearing up for the start of their Strathclyde League Basketball Association Division One campaign next month and say the veteran coach turned down big money offers to spearhead their plans for the future on and off the court.
Carballo boasts an impressive CV, having coached the Senegal and Namibian national teams, as well as English club sides Hackney Space (Eastside Heat), London Spartans and NASSA.
