The New Zealand Breakers are trumpeting a club-defining appointment after locking in the services of World Cup-winning coach Gordon Herbert.
The well-travelled Canadian will take over from Finland's Petteri Koponen, who earlier this year opted not to extend his contract, on a two-year deal.
Gordon will balance the role while helming a stacked Canadian team, headlined by two-time NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as they chase Olympic gold at LA's 2028 Games.
