Star-studded lineup announced for Super South International Coaching Conference

Beyond the assist: Using the pass to improve decision making and team offence

Troy Culley joins the conference with extensive experience across youth, professional, and international basketball. His coaching journey has included roles with Torbay Tigers, Kent Crusaders, Myerscough College, Tigers Tübingen, and, most recently, announced as head coach at Fraport Skyliners in the German ProB.

At the professional level, Culley has served as Assistant Coach with the Tigers Tübingen ProA programme for the past two seasons while internationally he led Great Britain U16 Men as head coach in both 2022 and 2023 before joining the Great Britain U20 Men staff in 2024.

In his session, Culley will explore how passing can be used as a developmental tool to improve decision-making, offensive flow, and overall team effectiveness beyond simply creating assists.

You're open! Shoot the ball! - From mechanics to decision making

A former NCAA Division I player, Nelson has coached across academy, National League, and professional environments, including leadership roles with Sussex Storm, Holy Trinity School Academy, London Lions Women, and New City College Academy. She has also worked as an Assistant Coach with the University of Calgary Women's Basketball programme and the London Lions U18 Adidas Next Generation team.

Alongside her coaching work, Nelson is a commentator and analyst for FIBA and the Super League Basketball competition.

From philosophy to habits: building a defensive culture that lasts
