The Central Coast Waves have appointed Sharon Coates to the role of Basketball Administration Officer.

Waves Operations Manager Matt Smith said Coates was a highly experienced sports administrator, having worked within basketball for many years.

“It is important to have someone with such a strong basketball background in this position,” he said.

“Having Sharon’s genuine passion and commitment for the game is a massive asset to the club.

“Her vast experience brings with it a knowledge of the current basketball landscape not only on the Central Coast but throughout regional NSW.

“This is a key appointment which we are confident places us in a really good position to deal with the ongoing professional management of the Waves.”

Coates said she was delighted to be able to contribute to the ongoing development of basketball at the Waves.

“My aim will be on ensuring a highly functional operation that will enable our growth in registration from all who want to become involved in the game,” she said.

“We are very keen to see a much higher level of engagement from female players, which is something that I am particularly interested to push.”
