He has professional coaching experience in Serbia and Portugal.

“The possibility to challenge and share my coaching philosophy at the university sports level was the main reason I wanted this position,” Nogic states. “At the same time, I believe and I hope that together with the players, directors and all supporters of the program we can change the current status of WolfPack women’s basketball in the Canadian basketball community as well as the chance to promote Kamloops as a sports city.”

Nogic and his family moved to Canada in September 2015 after his oldest daughter earned an NCAA Division I scholarship at Providence College.

Nogic has a 67.7 per cent winning percentage and he’s won more than 50 titles in the last 29 years.

“Goran is a proven coach who has had team success at elite levels, and who has demonstrated an ability to get the most out of individual athletes,” Atkinson says. “He is a true professional who has achieved a great deal throughout his career. Our committee was extremely impressed with his passion for the game, his confidence in being able to make a difference, and the fact that he is a lifelong learner.”

Nogic is expected to arrive in Kamloops in late May or early June.
