Colin Varian made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets on 24/2/1979. He scored 10 points in his first game.
The Bullets were established in 1979 by Brisbane Amateur Basketball Association for the foundation season of the National Basketball League under the captaincy of Bruce Fitzgerald (13.3 ppg) and head coach Bob Young. Varian (14.3 ppg), played a key role for the Bullets, who won 10 games and lost 8, finishing in fifth place. US star Cal Bruton (33.2 points per game) led both the Bullets and the league in scoring at a time when there was no 3-point line and games were played in 40 minutes.
To crown the first champions of the national league, only the first and second team’s progressed into the postseason, St Kilda (1st) defeating Canberra (2nd), 94–93, in the Grand Final match.
Colin Varian played four seasons with the Brisbane Bullets. He averaged 9.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0 assists in 75 NBL games.
