By 1973 Legge played for the Panmure team, under Coach Steve McKean, which won the National title. Legge was fortunate to be involved in a number of coaching courses where he refined his skill as a leader. Many of these were course were run by prominent NBA coaches. By 1979 Graham had played in teams that had won three New Zealand Championships. In 1982, Legge was instrumental in setting up the North Side Club on the North Shore of Auckland.
