Gleeson moved to Melbourne after his wife, Dawn, was diagnosed with
cancer. Photo: Getty Pictures Anytime the demands of coaching the
Melbourne Tigers get difficult for Trevor Gleeson his loved ones
puts existence into perspective. The Tigers mentor faces his former
NBL group, Townsville, tomorrow evening and whilst Gleeson expects
to really feel some additional nerves, he's much more conscious of
how his two kids, particularly son Taj, will take the event. ''We
have only just got him utilized to wearing his Tigers singlet,''
Gleeson stated. ''I think he will obtain a bit baffled when he sees
each teams on court.'' Taj wears a red Tigers singlet with
''Gleeson'' and also the number ''1'' on the back; previously he
loved his Crocs singlet, which Gleeson said was offered to a
Townsville-based buddy before the family moved to Melbourne. The
move ultimately had absolutely nothing to do with basketball and
everything to do with family. Gleeson's wife, Dawn, was diagnosed
with breast cancer earlier this year and with Gleeson's loved ones
based in Victoria the coach resigned from the Crocs totally ready
to stand out of the game while Dawn underwent her treatment in
Melbourne. But fate intervened and following a speculative phone
call to Tigers managing director Seamus McPeake, Gleeson was
granted an interview and won the vacant job. Because then he has
worked tirelessly to assemble a team capable of winning the NBL
title, some thing Gleeson desperately desires following five many
years of play-off exits with the Crocs. The Tigers have opened the
season 5-1 (win-loss) and their meeting with Townsville (2-2) at
the State Netball and Hockey Centre tomorrow will mark the coach's
first proper meeting using the Crocs, a move he is still not
totally at peace with. ''It's a little like playing against your
loved ones,'' he stated. ''We place our blood, sweat and tears into
winning together and we constructed that program into among the
best in the country; it is some thing I'm very proud of.'' The
details are impressive when you think about Gleeson, along with
assistant coach Rohan Brief, have taken the second-bottom group
last season to the top with the ladder and within the process added
five key players, which includes NBA guard Patty Mills. The ability
of Gleeson to manage such a transition and assistance his wife is
also a nod to his loved ones network, some thing he hadn't relied
on throughout his decade coaching in Queensland, Korea and the
United states. ''We have been away to get a long time and I hadn't
realised how much I had missed it,'' he stated. Gleeson stated all
Dawn's cancer was cleared following surgeries during pre-season but
she was nonetheless on a program of medication and faces additional
treatment later within the year. Gleeson has been able to carry on
to coach the club, aside from taking a couple of days off from
pre-season coaching to be with his wife post-operation. ''I don't
foresee missing something - fingers crossed,'' he said. ■The
