Canada Basketball is pleased to announce that Roy Rana will join the Senior Men's National Team coaching staff as Head Coach for the upcoming FIBA Americup 2017 and first two FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Qualifiers windows (November 2017 and February 2018).

"Coach Rana is a dedicated and committed member of the Canada Basketball team with a long-standing history of high performance at both the Cadet and Junior National Team levels," said Rowan Barrett, Assistant GM/Executive VP, Senior Men's Program. "We are confident in Roy's ability to take the next step and lead our Senior Men's National Team as we begin our pursuit of a World Cup berth."

Under the guidance of Rana, Canada's U19 Men's National Team made history in July winning Canada Basketball's first-ever gold medal at a World Cup FIBA competition. As a National Team coach since 2006, he also led the Cadet National Team to a historic bronze medal at the 2010 U16 World Championships in Hamburg, Germany.

"It is once again an incredible honor to have the opportunity and responsibility to lead our country into international competition," said Roy Rana. "I look forward to building on the incredible momentum of this summer and continue to play my part in building a special experience of success at the Senior Men's National Team level."

Rana has previously found himself behind the bench of the Senior Men's National Team as he was Head Coach for the Argentina Super Four Cup (Santa Fe, Argentina) in 2007 and as an Assistant Coach for the FIBA Americas (San Juan, Puerto Rico) tournament in 2009.

In addition to his role with Canada Basketball, Rana is the Head Coach at Ryerson University. Over the course of his eight-year career, Rana's Rams have captured both silver (2017) and bronze (2015) medals at the U SPORTS (formerly CIS) national championships.
