In his NBL1 Hawks debut, Hickey was solid in 21 minutes of play, scoring 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, while Coenraad and Harry both displayed impressive performances.
For Coenraad, retirement is nothing but a label. The Hawks veteran scored 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists while Harry impressed, boasting 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists to his name.
The Illawarra Hawks will look to capitalise on their stellar attack next week, when they face off against the visiting Penrith Panthers in a 7pm Saturday night clash at the Snakepit.
