Alongside his Olympic commitment, Simmons strongly supported the national program’s new direction under head coach Adam Caporn. Basketball Australia announced Caporn’s appointment this week, naming the Washington Wizards assistant as the Boomers’ new leader following Brian Goorjian’s departure after the 2024 Paris Olympics. "I’ve known [Adam Caporn] for a while, I'm happy for him," Simmons said. "He's a great coach and a great person. I'm looking forward to talking to him and getting connected — continue to build our relationship going into the next Olympics." -via Responsible Gaming / March 16, 2025
