 Memorable Gaze into the past - BasketballFeatures - Sport - theage.com.au
The milestones were many, but more than the points and honours Gaze accumulated, I enjoyed his alley-oops with Lanard Copeland, his courtside bear hug with Lindsay on winning the 1993 championship in Perth, one 1990s last quarter when he destroyed South East Melbourne Magic, and so much more.
Lindsay Gaze was finished as a player and already an established coach and a key administrator when I met him.
He is not as extroverted as Andrew, but has been just as accommodating to the media as he built the sport's profile.
