A former player in the BBL with Birmingham Bullets and Leicester Riders, Paternostro is one of a select few men to have won the BBL Coach of the Year on more than one occasion.

Jalan McCloud led all scorers with 23 points on 71% shooting from two point range, whilst Tevin Falzon had a superb game off the bench with 17 points and nine rebounds.

ONE TO WATCH
#8 Jamell Anderson - Anderson re-joined the Riders ahead of the 2019/20 season. The Nottingham native has impressed over the past few seasons, with representation of both Great Britain and England at the Commonwealth Games gaining valuable experience on the international stage.
Nottingham-born Anderson first joined the Riders in 2011 when he attracted the attention of Coach Paternostro which enabled him to both play for the Riders and study at Loughborough University. During his time at Loughborough, Anderson captained the team to an unbeaten promotion campaign in 2011.
