Mark Beecroft to be Taipans GM
Cairns Taipans coach Mark Beecroft is to be club General Manager after first being offered the head coaching position. Cairns.com.au reports:
Beecroft was offered the head coach's position after leading the club magnificently in the final two months of the season after former head coach Alan Black was axed when the Taipans were placed in administration.
But he turned down the offer, saying he'd be more value as general manager.
Beecroft said he was thrilled to have the chance to be accountable to the community after it had put so much faith in the new ownership model.Full story
