Coach Doe immigrated to New Zealand in 1998, and brought his philosophy, ideas and coaching techniques along with his company, Maniac Basketball. Since arriving, he has directed 30 basketball camps, coached at 51 primary, intermediate and senior schools, won championships at almost every level with each age group and squeezed in the odd bit of time to give motivational talks to numerous audiences.

Maniac Basketball (UK) was set up in 1994 by Coach Doe Williams when he saw a need for independent basketball coaching in England. In particular, it was aimed at teenage boys, who didn’t quite fit the mould of some of the larger clubs.

During the four years that Maniac was running the club, teams achieved great success in both England and in Europe, and was widely recognised as a good breeding ground for the professional teams in England.

The overall philosophy of Doe’s coaching is tailored towards the importance of education first and basketball second. This is designed to produce well balanced individuals in both sports and education. Coach Doe attempts to shape the player’s attitudes to both basketball and academics through attention to detail, teamwork, and being honest with both themselves and each other about their goals.
