His assistant will be Ron Radliff who worked with Joey in Brisbane and also played for the Gold Coast back when they were the Rollers. I know team manager Big Joe is also back onboard, now we have to wait and see if Dale Ryan joins the team and which ex-Bullets players Joey can lure to the coast. The rumour mill has names such as Adam Gibson and Ebi Ere in the mix.
I'm excited at the news ... let's just hope the season actually goes ahead!

The Gold Coast Blaze have confirmed that former Brisbane Bullets coach Joey Wright has joined their organisation.
Blaze CEO Dave Claxton said a conditional agreement has been entered into that will see Wright take on the head coaching duties for the next three seasons.
“Joey’s appointment is entirely conditional on a new NBL competition being formed and, of course, the Blaze being a part of that competition,” Mr Claxton said.
“He joins our club in the expectation of the launch of a new national competition for the 2009/10 season.”
“His coaching contract with us will begin at the start of the new league.”
“In the meantime, we’d expect Joey to begin the process of assembling a competitive team that with his coaching guidance can compete for a championship,” he said.
Wright will be assisted in his coaching duties by former Brisbane Bullets and Gold Coast Rollers favourite, Ron ‘the Rat’ Radliff.
