Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup

The Cup Directors with great sadness acknowledge the passing of Rod Bush. Rod was a great contributor to the Country Cup over many years and his legacy will be enduring. The following is the official post from Basketball Victoria.

Basketball Victoria is deeply saddened by the passing of Rod Bush OAM, one of the most respected and influential technical officials in the history of Victorian basketball.
Across more than 60 years of service, Rod helped shape refereeing, technical officiating and country basketball throughout Victoria, while mentoring and inspiring generations of officials, volunteers and basketball leaders.
Recently recognised with a Basketball Victoria 60 Years of Service Award and appointed a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), Rod's contribution to the game and community leaves an enduring legacy.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Rod's wife Patsy, their three daughters Emily, Georgie and Madeline, their families, friends and the wider basketball community.

FROM BASKETBALL TASMANIA
Today we acknowledge and celebrate the incredible contribution of Kylie French, who will conclude her time with Basketball Tasmania later this month after more than 12 years of dedicated service.
As our longest-serving staff member, Kylie has played an integral role in the growth and evolution of basketball across Tasmania. From business operations and integrity management through to pathway programs and representative tours, her professionalism, commitment, and care for the basketball community have left a lasting impact on our sport.
Many within the basketball community will know Kylie through her work with the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup (ACJBC), where she has helped create unforgettable experiences for hundreds of athletes and families each year. Her contribution to the sport extends well beyond the office, with strong relationships and friendships built across Tasmania and around the country.
Kylie’s knowledge, resilience, and dedication have made her an invaluable member of the Basketball Tasmania team, and while we will certainly miss her, we are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for her.
Please join us in thanking Kylie for her outstanding contribution to Tasmanian basketball and wishing her all the very best for the future. 🏀👏 See less
