FIBA EXPERIENCE

Dalgleish played for the Australian Boomers at the 1978 FIBA World Championship in the Philippines, helping the team to a then best 7th place and the 1982 World Championships in Colombia. The squad, which was in the middle of a rebuilding phase, featured a number of first-time Boomers which included Brad Dalton, Wayne Carroll, Ray Borner, Mark Gaze, Damian Keogh and Robert Scringi. Ian Davies was the teams leading scorer, finishing with the second most total points in the tournament (187), at a average of 23.4 per game. During that time the Boomers would generally fail to reach the medal rounds, finishing in fifth place with a record of 4-4. It was the teams best result at a major FIBA tournament to date.

He also competed in the mens tournament at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, where Australia finished eighth.

Dalgleish also played for national team at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, where Australia finished seventh. The seventh place finish in 1984 being the Boomers best Olympic result to that date.
