London Lions found a new head coach in Petar Bozic, the club announced Thursday. Bozic, age 44, replaces Ryan Schmidt, who left London earlier this summer. He arrives from Austin of the G League, where he worked for the last six years, four an assistant coach and the last two as head coach. Prior to that, Bozic coached Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, where he also played for eight seasons, becoming the team's captain and winning 18 domestic titles. He was hired an assistant coach in January 2013, became Partizan's head coach before the start of the 2015-16 season, and was released in February 2016.
