Thunder chairman Tony Barker, who worked with Brookhouse when he was the chairman of the SEABL competition, this week said the Brookhouse decision was a "great choice" due to his involvement with the state via that role and earlier as the president of the Hobart Chargers.
"For as long as I have been involved with the Thunder Simon was chair of SEABL and he has a really good understanding of where we are and what the state is about and the structure in the state,'' Barker said
"He has also been at a high level with his Golf Australia [as general manager of golf operations] and Golf Victoria [as chief executive officer], so that as well is why I think it is a great appointment."
Brookhouse, who was announced as the off court leader last week, will start in his new role next month.
