Julius Joseph MBE was selected by Basketball England to lead the England men’s 3x3 campaign for the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The 3x3 specialist – dubbed ‘Sensei’ by his players for his skill at teaching the short-format of the game – was an obvious candidate for the head coaching role, having masterminded England’s historic 3x3 title at Birmingham 2022. He spoke to Basketball England about his hopes for Glasgow 2026 and doing it all again, his MBE for services to basketball and winning Commonwealth Games bronze in 2006. basketballengland.co.uk/talent/team-england
