Chris Lucas 2019/20 CHEMIST WAREHOUSE WNBL CHAMPIONSHIP MEDIA GUIDE | ADELAIDE LIGHTNING 15 HEAD COACH Chris Lucas is held in high regard within WNBL circles. His involvement in the League’s coaching ranks dates back to his time as an Assistant Coach at Adelaide under Jan Stirling, before taking over the role of Head Coach of the Lightning in 2004. In his initial three-year tenure in the top job, he took the Adelaide Lightning to the finals in each season, reaching as far as the preliminary final in 2006/2007. Lucas left Adelaide at the end of the 2006/07 season, commencing another assistant coaching role, this time at Canberra, under head coach Carrie Graf, helping the Capitals to two WNBL Championships in his three years at the club. He then continued his successes as a Head Coach at the Townsville Fire. In five seasons, Lucas led Townsville to the finals in each occasion, becoming the fifth coach in WNBL history to claim back-to-back Championships in 2014/15 and 2015/16. Lucas then returned home to Adelaide to commence his second stint as head coach of the Lightning for the 2016/17 season.
