Women in charge o top New Zealand sports teams? Not likely-10
Unlike other top-tier sports,
Basketball NZ invests the
same budget for the Tall
Blacks, as for the Tall Ferns. However
applications for the
Tall Ferns to High Performance Sport New
Zealand, have been declined
while the men receive
$150,000 from the governmen funded
HPNZ. "We believe the Tall Ferns
case is a strong one though and that will hopefully shine
through in time." Hockey New Zealand
have never employed a woma
in a head coaching role for th
Black Sticks men or women in
the sport's history. Hockey NZ however was
confident women in the game
are well supported. "Hockey is a genuine
dual
gender sport and Hockey NZ
and its associations provide equal opportunities for men
and women to participate as
players, coaches, umpires and technical
officials. So certainly
to answer the question, yes
everyone, including women, are well supported."-Stuff sport
