For that point of difference the club has turned to Sarah Veale, unveiling its newest coach on Friday for next year.

The familiar face around Launceston courts will bring more than a decade of varied coaching experience, but by her own admission remains untested at the next level.

But Veale has also touched the ultimate Tornadoes prize and is looking to bottle the only winning-championship side's formula for success in 1995 for the 2020 campaign.

"I felt I was lucky enough to be a part of that team of 1995. We cherish that win forever, but it wasn't just about the win. I know what it takes to be that team," Veale said.

"The lessons we learned, how we learned to play for each other and we know how hard we have to work, how to building a culture, how to understand what your role is, how to fulfill so when they get on court they can put that basketball puzzle together.

"It was one of the biggest lessons I took away from '95."

Veale, whose coaching focus has leant considerably on Basketball Tasmania's high-performance pathways and player management, has still spent much time in the stands observing a number of recent Tornadoes seasons.

Combined with coaching Tasmanians at the Australian junior country cup and also in national championships, the new role promises to be a switch from the two seasons under Derrick Washington.

"I've been involved with the club as a supporter or in other ways in developing the young juniors - that is the big key I bring along," Veale said.

"I have seen a lot of the players grow and develop, go off to [US] college and hopefully come back. I think that connection is critical moving forward to cement that pathways for the juniors."

Veale will be the club's fifth coach in five years since Reece Potter's exit in 2016.

That is a style more in tune to how Veale will coach than anything from Washington.

The American adopted the Torns to change a game style to a more high-tempo pace.

It had worked wonders in the first year for an experienced starting five all the way to a SEABL grand final berth, but flopped 12 months later with a new side that looked to struggle to find its feet.

"Adopting the Australian style of play to our group will be important," Veale said.

"It's a developing opportunity for me as well - I haven't coached at this level before.

"But I believe I now have a really sound basis to take that next step for the team."

The first female Tornadoes coach since Peta Sinclair in 2014 has refused to speculate what players she will bring into - or back - to the club.

"We're reviewing the team structure just now, but once we get staff in place and understand what players will be making themselves available, we'll know what spots we need to fill," she said

"Our core focus will be on our local players and we will fill gaps with players who hopefully have been here before. But the Olympics is in 2020, so we don't know who will be available."
