    The Breakers are wasting no time in finding a replacement for assistant coach Mike Fitchett

    The Breakers are wasting no time in finding a replacement for assistant coach Mike Fitchett


    Fitchett told club owner Matt Walsh he was leaving at the airport as the team began its journey back from pre-season games in the United States.

    Walsh says he'd been told by staff the resignation was coming, and had already begun a recruitment process.



    The Breakers begin their season against the Sydney Kings on Friday.
