He's been appointed coach of the Wellington Saints in the National Basketball League, which falls in between New Zealand's final qualifiers in February and the world cup itself in August.
Henare says he's urging all of the non-European based Tall Blacks to play in the NBL next year.
He says guys need to be playing throughout the year to be in peak shape for August.
Paul Henare is replacing Kevin Braswell at the Saints, with Braswell replacing him at the Breakers.
