To the OP, your question is still hard to understand, and to be frank, I'm not sure where you're heading with it. I will give you my dumb thoughts on it&.
I would think SP is safe in that position so long as the current 16's girl head coach stays put, if he decides to follow some of his players up, there may be some ruffling of the feathers¬ real sure he would want to go up, and I think right now would rather stay put&..however&the Albury U16 girls coaches (current assistent coaches) may be looking to be head coach at 18 level, both have coached the up coming girls and some of the girls who are going to be there and have wins on the board&
What needs to be looked at tho is with making medals last year, and falling out this year there is no real reason to not allow SP to take the role again, if after next years Nationals there is no improvement it may be a need to make change, but unless there is something/someone out of the blue SP will be there next year...
At the end of the day wins count, this year not so well, but was the team good enough to medal too? I'm not sure anyone could have gotten that team any higher&perhaps the young lass who had foot surgery?? That was a big loss and perhaps a few spots higher, but certainly not a medal&
Looking at the 16's team and who is top age and who is bottom age, who is going to be staying in SAC, who will transfer over to SAM or even AIS (good luck to her if she does make it) what has stayed down and what has left in the current 18's, will ultimately decide who gets what after that, and who is going to chase what!
Good luck to whomever gets what, no matter how much sh!t they cop on the forums some times.
