By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Belize City Defenders announced Roscoe Anderson Rhys as their new head coach and Stephen Williams Jr as assistant head coach on Thursday. Rhys was the assistant coach of the Orange Walk Running Rebels for the last season.

“New Year, New Season, New Blood! Defenders family, please welcome our new coaching staff for the 2024 BEBL Season, Head Coach Roscoe Rhys and Asst. Head Coach Stephen Williams Jr.,” the Belize City Defenders said in a social media post.

The Defenders missed the playoffs last year, finishing in fifth position and are now intent on improving on last year’s dismal record. They are hoping Rhys and Williams can lead them to the promised land.

“Thank You for the opportunity. We are gonna achieve greatness this season 2024!” Rhys said in comment to the Defenders social media post announcing his appointment.

Rhys has a long history of involvement in the sport of basketball as a player and as a coach. He has coached at all levels from primary school to the Belize Elite Basketball League.

The Defenders missed the playoffs last year, finishing in fifth position and are charging head first this time around with the intent of improving on last year’s dismal record.

He is the only Belizean Coach to hold a USA Basketball Gold Coach License for the last seven years consecutively since 2017.

He was also recently named president of the Belize District Basketball Association (BDBA).

Rhys will be assisted by Stephen Williams Jr.

“Thanks for giving me the opportunity to start my coaching career with the Belize City Defenders,” Williams said.

Williams has been a star of Belizean semipro basketball for years and is now delving into coaching.
