Sandringham NBL1 Women’s coach fired
I don't know if I’ve ever seen such an insensitive and poorly worded statement on a coach being fired. Questions need to be asked about who authorised that to be put out into the public domain.
I don’t know the ins and outs of what was happening behind the scenes, but has there ever been something similar to this happen with a coach firing?
See below:
As of this afternoon Jacqui O’Neill has been stood down from her role as the Head Coach of the SBA NBL1 women’s team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jacqui for her time and effort over the last few years in helping to shape what we believe is a very competitive NBL1 team for the 2023 season.
Jacqui has coached in our junior Sabres program since 2018 and has been in charge of our NBL1 Women since the COVID interrupted season of 2021. In that time she has been a positive influence on the SBA. We wish her the best for her coaching future.
Women’s Director of Coaching Simon Giovannoni will take over effective immediately as interim coach until a new NBL1 Head Coach is appointed.
Regards
Craig Weir
SBA CEO
