☕ Courtside Coffee Catch-Up | Episode 18

In Episode 18, Kerry sits down with Michelle Cosier — current WNBL referee, former WNBL Champion, wife, mum, and long-time role model.

Affectionately known as Muss, Michelle’s journey has taken her from a quiet country upbringing in Bairnsdale to the highest levels of Australian basketball.

She debuted for the Sapphires at the 2003 World Championships, earned a call-up to the Opals squad ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics team selection, and was named DEADLY Female Sportsperson of the Year in 2004.

Across her career, Michelle has contributed years of continuous service to the WNBL — from 243 games as a player with the Dandenong Rangers, Sydney Flames, and Canberra Capitals, to more recently reaching the milestone of 50 games officiated as a referee.

With a friendship that spans decades — from teenage years in Melbourne to flatting together in Sydney — Kerry and Michelle share an open and at times vulnerable conversation covering basketball, body image, starting a family, culture, and life beyond the game.

🎙️ An honest, thoughtful, and deeply personal catch-up — minus the coffee, but very close to the courtside.
