Ex-Croc in line for Taipans job

Former Townsville Crocodiles coach Shawn Dennis has emerged as the leading contender to replace Aaron Fearne as the Cairns Taipans head coach. The Cairns Post understands there is mutual interest between the two parties as the Taipans are in the process of finding their first new coach in almost a decade. Dennis, who was recognised by his coaching peers as the Coach of the Year for 2015/16 NBL season, is currently coaching in Japan.
