FIBA EXPERIENCE

Hinder played for Australia in the 2005 Boris Stankovic Cup and was then selected for the national squad that competed at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan. There, the Boomers started the tournament with a opening victory over Brazil (83-79) but then lost their next three games in a row. Bogut (12.8 points and 6.2 rebounds) led the team in points and rebounds and helped the team deliver a convincing win over Qatar (93–46) which qualified the team for the second round. Their poor record (2-3) saw them draw USA who soundly defeated Australia (113-73) and ended their campaign tied for ninth place.

Hinder also earned a gold medal with the Boomers at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
