Coaching career
[edit | edit source]In 2015, Spon led the Rochester RazorSharks to an undefeated season and a Premier Basketball League championship. Following the season, on May 7, he was named head coach of the Saint John Mill Rats, where he had previously served.[3] The Mill Rats' ownership changed in 2016 but retained Spon as coach. The team was then renamed to the Saint John Riptide. After one more season in Saint John, he was then hired for one season by the NBL Canada's Cape Breton Highlanders as their head coach.[4][5]
