NBL EXPERIENCE

Brian Banks made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 22 years of age. He scored 21 points in his first game.

The Bullets replaced inaugural head coach Bob Young prior to the 1980 season with Dave Claxton. The Bullets made it to the finals in the second NBL season of 1980, finishing in third place after winning 17 of their 22-season games, the Bullets met the West Adelaide Bearcats in the second semi-final, losing 101–94.

Banks averaged 20.5 points and was selected to the All-NBL first team that season.

1981
Brisbane returned to the postseason for their second year in a row in 1981, with star import Banks taking over from Bruce Fitzgerald as team captain. Brisbane also added a skinny forward in 1981 going by the name of Leroy Loggins (who would later have his own statue built outside Boondall Entertainment Centre) led the team in scoring his first season with 22.1 points per game with Banks also adding 20.2 per game as Brisbane finished in fifth place.

Due to first-placed St. Kilda deciding not to participate in the playoffs, who instead chose to play in the World Club Championships in Brazil, the Bullets were elevated into the semi finals as the fourth placed seed. The Bullets lost to eventual champions Launceston Casino City 71–69 in the semi-final game.

1982
In 1982, Sengstock left St Kilda to play in Brisbane under new coach Rick Harden. Sengstock (17.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1 assist), despite it being only his first year with the Bullets, was named co-captain alongside import Brian Banks (22.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists).

The Bullets then finished in eighth place, missing out on qualifying for the finals.

GEELONG CATS
1983
Banks would average 12.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists as the Cats finished with a record of 18-4 and finished in second place during the regular season.

Brian Banks played four seasons in the NBL, playing for both the Brisbane Bullets and the Geelong Cats. He averaged 18.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 96 NBL games.

Larry Kestelman Says Geelong Deserves an NBL Team But Is Missing a Real Estate Component

The possibility of an NBL expansion team in Geelong has gained momentum, with league owner Larry Kestelman confirming the city is a strong candidate—provided it can secure a suitable venue. However, much like we outlined in an article a number of years ago, How the Geelong Supercats could return to the NBL within 3 years, the missing piece isn’t just a stadium, but a real estate-backed development plan to make the project financially viable. Kestelman recently acknowledged Geelong’s growing basketball scene, citing record participation numbers…
