Pinchin, 31, widely known as one of the hardest workers in British basketball, announced the news on social media this afternoon. He accepted the job at the end of last year but had to wait on visa approval before being able to confirm the move. “I am of course super excited to join the Bulls Digital department,” Joe told Hoopsfix when reached out to for comment. “I’ve known some of the staff, through social and being at some similar events, and followed their great work online as a source of inspiration for years. To soon be part of the team that is behind the work is incredibly exciting and after years of wearing a lot of hats to ensure the club functions here I am thrilled to lock in and focus on digital full time in the best sports league in the world.” Having been involved with the Leicester Riders and Loughborough basketball programme for over a decade, Joe has performed almost every role imaginable with the club; playing and coaching, then taking over operations before getting more and more into the digital communications side of things. Honing his craft over a number of years, getting competent with both photography, videography, editing and motion graphics, along with all the associated Adobe Suite software, Joe has grown the programme to have the best digital presence in the UK, whilst also freelancing with the likes of GB Basketball, Deng Camp, FIBA 3×3, along with the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic. “It’s been an awesome decade or so involved in British basketball off the court,” Pinchin added. “I’ve always loved the game and felt like I could carve a career in hoops, adding value by putting in the hours and learning from some of the great people we have in the game here. I’m pleased to have worked with some amazing people over the years, that have produced a ton of success for the club on the court and executed an incredible transition of growth off the court. “I feel I have always tried to learn daily and the open nature of people in sport makes it so easy to soak in tons of information and then execute against it.” During his tenure, the Leicester programme won over 57 national titles from across the BBL, to the NBL, BUCS and college leagues.

Joe will be very much missed at Riders, if you haven’t seen his work I would encourage you to check it out, it really is top quality,
I hope he’s had an apprentice shadowing him to takeover, those will be big shoes to fill,
Good Luck Joe, what a fantastic opportunity it is for you.

Wow. Well deserved. What a step up that is!
All the hard work and dedication proves so worthwhile
Delighted for him.
Imagine what he could do with an NBA budget. He worked wonders with a BBL budget.

It's going to be more of a blow to the Riders than just what people see on socials. |

Big part of the club off the court as well as social media. Put loads of hours in from what I heard.
Very hard to replace I imagine

To add my two cents here - whilst its obviously a massive step up in terms of size of the project etc, I really dont think its anything he cant handle.
His work at riders has been nothing short of fantastic, and theyll miss him dearly.
Thoroughly deserved - Id go as far as saying its where he belongs.

Fantastic news - glad to see him get the recognition he deserves, and what a huge opportunity! So well deserved, he’s done so much for Riders and British basketball, will be missed by both.

Always nice to see someone move from the BBL to the NBA, in whatever capacity.

The huge number of positive replies on his Twitter from the world of basketball and further afield demonstrate how well appreciated and how well liked he is
I bet he never realised until now
Unsung hero gets recognised. Lots of people GENUINELY excited and delighted for him
Hard work pays off!

Didn't realise his official job title was Operations Manager for over 4 years now at Riders.
So social media and marketing just a small part of the role as RSV says above

It will be almost impossible for Riders to replace Joe with just one person in my opinion.

He never did a single operation. That's why you didn't even know his job title. Despite knowing everything Utterly overrated:) |

Joe flies with the players on the Chicago Bulls plane to their away games (the Bulls own a half share in the plane) He's with the players most days and on first name terms with them all.
I guess that's just normal for that job. But talk about change in lifestyle and glamour.
I guess it's just the same job as at Riders but mixing with multi millionaires and travelling by private planes rather than on buses etc
I wonder if he's stopped pinching himself yet?
And I've just noticed what I said there
Is Joe Pinchin himself?
