Caporn to begin Boomers reign with college warm-up
Adam Caporn's reign as Boomers head coach will begin when the side tunes up for the Asia Cup against the University of Colorado on the Gold Coast.
The low-key July 31 contest comes before Australia aim for an Asia Cup three-peat in Saudi Arabia from August 5-17.
It will be Caporn's first games in charge since taking over from Brian Goorjian, who stood down after last year's Paris Olympics.
"I couldn't be more excited to return to Australia and get on the floor with the group," Caporn said.
"I see the Asia Cup as a critical first step in building our system and re-establishing the Boomers' culture."
Caporn was on Goorjian's staff and is currently an assistant at the Washington Wizards.
The Boomers' Asian Cup squads are traditionally made up of NBL, Asian and European-based players and do not feature any of the country's NBA talent.
Thon Maker was the star when the Boomers beat Lebanon in Jakarta in 2022 to defend their title.
