High Performance General Manager: Wayne Carroll
As rumoured on Hoops yesterday, Wayne Carroll has been appointed to the newly-created position of High Performance General Manager.
Sengstock said Carroll's appointment was another significant advance for the sport and another example of basketball's commitment to the reform process and its adherence to the recommendations of the High Performance review.
"Wayne will hit the ground running with his first task to review the elite pathways from club through to Olympic level," Sengstock said. "Too many of our young stars are lost to other sports because we don't offer a logical pathway for them to achieve their aspirations to make a career out of playing the game that they love basketball. By fixing this aspect of our sport, we will retain more players at the elite levels while encouraging younger players through the aspiration to emulate their heroes. This is a critical initial focus for Wayne that will have significant benefit to the grassroots of the sport.
"Wayne Carroll is the perfect fit for this role, as he has a wealth of knowledge about elite basketball combined with significant business and people management skills," Sengstock added. "We are lucky to have him further strengthen BA's senior management team."
