Gareth Till named WNBL Division One Coach of the Year

"It's a real honour to be named coach of the year. There are some outstanding coaches in the league and to be recognised by them means a great deal," said Till.

"The award is a reflection on the team and how well we played throughout the season. Without their dedication we wouldn't have had the success we've enjoyed.  Chris Staddon deserves as much recognition for the award as I do. We're a close team and without his support we wouldn't of had the year we did." 

It’s a timely reward for Till, who's also announced he’s stepping down from his position as Women’s head coach due to family commitments.

"I've stepped down as head coach to concentrate on the birth of my first chid, which is due in July,” he explained.

"I couldn't have wished for a better way to sign off with a league championship. I’ll still be working behind the scenes to help the women's and girls program to drive it forward."
