Breakers have appointed Chanel Pompallier as an assistant coach.
At the same time, it's unclear if Coronel will return. But, by the sounds of it, he is on the outer.

Is she a director of assistant coaching or a assistant director of coaching?

The Breakers are creaming themselves like they are the first to have a female assistance coach.
and they've called Shamir the HEad Coach now.
So what was Tracy York's role at the 36ers? Was she an assistant?

Are they claiming this is the first female assistant in NBL or Breakers history?
I'd read the article, but don't want to give trashy tabloids clicks.
The never claimed it was the first female coach in the NBL. It's the first for the Breakers.

Coronil is NZs leading bball mind, and coach with great potential. Has coached in the nznbl for years.
Disappointed he diesnt appear to be involved. Piss poor comms from the breakers if he isn't involved. Show some honesty, tell us what has happened.
Stop pissing in our pocket and telling us it is raining.
" Coronil is NZs leading bball mind, and coach with great potential."
Big call to put him ahead of Henare.
It may be that Zico is moving into something bigger and better or he wants more $.
Henare and Zico to Sixers, now that would be good.

Badly written post by me. I dont put him ahead of henare, vucinic, baldwin
In fact there rate ithers who I rate like stone, Cameron, flavell, braswell.
I should have said he is one of nzs leading basketball minds. Certainly in the nznbl right now.
Pompellier all good, but not at the expense of coronel.

I wrote what would've been the first reply, quoting the article's listing of previous female NBL assistant coaches. Then I thought, don't assume that pedants and non-article-readers will steer the conversation, and deleted it. Well.
The Breakers are creaming themselves like they are the first to have a female assistance coach.No, they're trying to get press coverage like any other organisation in the world. You know how the 36ers say they'll leave no stone unturned in their head coach search blah blah blah.

I would put Ross McMains at the top of that list Bigdog but Zico def makes the list.

Isaac the worst thing about it was the pedants naming random assistants unable to recall the first one.

Coronel is one of the best basketball minds in Australasia.
It would defy common sense for him not to be involved in the NBL at all (unless he had something else lined up already).
If other NBL coaches are checkers, then he is chess. His approach is super modern and revolutionary

Yeah I agree. So what is the go with him here?
Defending silence from breakers.

There was talk he was joining the Houston Rockets not long before he signed with the Breakers. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the NBA or at least G League.
