Early life

[edit]

Petrie was born in Tenterfield, New South Wales.[1] Alongside basketball, he grew up playing cricket, rugby league and athletics.[2]

Playing career

[edit]

NBL

[edit]

Petrie made his debut in the National Basketball League (NBL) for the West Sydney Razorbacks during the 2007–08 season. For the 2008–09 NBL season, he joined the Wollongong Hawks.[3]

Between 2009 and 2012, Petrie played for the Gold Coast Blaze.[3] For the 2009–10 season, he named the NBL's Most Improved Player and earned All-NBL Second Team honours after averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.[4] Three games into the 2010–11 season,[5] he suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture.[6]

Between 2012 and 2016, Petrie played for the Adelaide 36ers.[3] He helped the 36ers reach the 2014 NBL Grand Final series, where they lost 2–1 to the Perth Wildcats.[7]

Between 2016 and 2018, Petrie played for the Brisbane Bullets.[3] On 31 December 2016, he was ruled out of the rest of the 2016–17 NBL season with a left knee injury.[8] He damaged the same knee again during the 2017–18 season[9] and subsequently had one last knee operation in November 2017 to see him through the season.[10] He retired from the NBL in February 2018.[10][11]

State Leagues

[edit]

Petrie debuted in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) in 2003 with the Canberra Gunners, helping the team win the East Conference title.[12] He played four more seasons with the Gunners between 2005 and 2008.[3] In 2006 and 2007, he was the SEABL East MVP, and was a three-time All-SEABL East Team honouree.[13]

In 2010, Petrie played for the Northside Wizards of the Queensland Basketball League (QBL). In 2012, he had a one-game stint in the SEABL with the Brisbane Spartans, and in 2013 he played for the North Adelaide Rockets in the Central ABL.[3]

In 2019, Petrie played for the Gold Coast Rollers in the QBL. He returned to the Rollers in 2021, now playing in the rebranded NBL1 North.[3]

National team

[edit]

Petrie first played for Australia in the 2002 Oceania Under 22 Championships, leading the team in scoring.[14] His first Australian Boomers call-up came just shy of his 30th birthday, with Petrie playing against China in the 2013 Sino-Australia Challenge. This led to selection in the Boomers team for the 2013 FIBA Oceania Championship.[14]

Coaching career

[edit]

In December 2021, Petrie was appointed head coach of the Gold Coast Rollers for the 2022 NBL1 North season.[15] He guided the team to the championship.[16][17] He was named the NBL1 North Men's Coach of the Year for the 2023 season.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

Petrie and his wife Sarah have four children.[10] Sarah (née Berry) is a former Canberra Capitals championship player.[19][20]

Petrie completed his Bachelor of Education degree at ACU's Canberra Campus.[2]
