Before there was Stephen Curry, there was Shane Heal.

Speaking of Heal, he's currently being investigated by QLD police over bets placed on the WNBL team he coached this past season.

Heal also resigned as director of the WNBL franchise on February 1 - just two days before a liquidator was appointed - but told the playing group that he had been unaware of the club's parlous financial state.

Documents lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission reveal Heal is not one of 37 creditors owed money by the club, while most of the players and staff have not been paid some of their wages or superannuation.

While his illustrious basketball career sits comfortably among Australia's greatest players, Heal's performance in the corporate sector has been tainted by bankruptcy proceedings in 2011 and a string of embittered investors.

Beginning with a Subway franchise in 2003, the former Boomers star built a hospitality empire worth $30 million by his own estimation, which included noodle shops, cafes, burger and pizza restaurants.

At it's peak, Heal claimed he employed 360 people, but by December 2011 he was declared bankrupt with $10 in his account.

He reportedly owed at least $8.8 million to unsecured creditors, while bankruptcy examinations in 2014 revealed Heal had received money from current NBA coach Brett Brown and former Boomers' forward and teammate Matt Nielsen among others in his failed ventures.

Those same hearings also questioned why Heal had resigned from his director roles of his 38 companies three months before the business went under.

He reportedly told examiners that he was unable to recall what had prompted him to step down.


Sounds like a great guy.

Yeah, pretty shady. Fiery competitor and one of our best basketball players, but very questionable character, from all accounts.

And FFS, if you're going to bet on your own team to lose...at least make sure they lose.

Milking that ten second count and keeping everyone on their toes.

Impressive. And taking time out to sign an autograph for a fan, too.
