New Rangers coach Wayne Pollock said some people would have predicted that his team would struggle after moving from the Big V competition this year.

"Some people might have expected us to be 0-2 by now, the fact that we are 2-0 has probably exceeded the expectations of some people.

"I can't really think about the finals until we have played a bit more of the competition but suffice to say, I'm happy with the way we have started."

Pollock credited the Rangers' dynamic start to their entertaining style of play.

"We've got a group of girls who are working hard, want to be coached and who are transferring all that into their game. Our goal is to play a brand of basketball that is effectively a bit of fun for the girls and the fans and which will give us some good results.

"We have crossed over [to the SEABL] with a group that has some additions to it, but the girls in the team who did well in the Big V are doing well in SEABL."

Pollock said the depth of talent was the major difference between the Big V and SEABL.

"It's a case of the depth in the SEABL. There aren't going be any easy games.

"Players move the ball a bit quicker and play harder. It's hard to prepare in a new league because we haven't got any history on most of the clubs to work with but as the season unfolds we have been able to get our hands on some game tapes of opposition teams."

An assistant to the Rangers' WNBL coach Dale Waters for two years, Pollock said the SEABL position was an important step in his own coaching career.

"I had reached a point in my career where I had to reassess the sorts of things I wanted to achieve in my coaching. The SEABL position came up and I thought it was a nice fit where each of Rangers' coaches overlapped across teams and enabled us to have a connection between the different programs."

Pollock's assistant is retired WNBL Rangers' great Emily McInerny, who had made a smooth transition from player to coach.

"It's not so much about having to hold Macca down as far as her wanting to get back out on the court, it's more about her being passionate about basketball. She gives everything her best effort. She is definitely doing that with her coaching.

"She is definitely on a pathway to bigger things in coaching if she continues to develop her skills in that area."
