Kirstin Daly-Taylor

Kirstin Marie Daly-Taylor (born 17 May 1969) is a New Zealand basketball coach and former international player who competed in the 1994 FIBA World Championship and the 2000 Summer Olympics for the Tall Ferns.[1]

In December 2015, Daly-Taylor was named the head coach of the Hawke's Bay Hawks for the next five years, becoming one of the rare women to take control of a men's team at a domestic level.[2][3] In her first season at the helm in 2016, the Hawks went 0–18 to become just the fourth side in NBL history to go an entire season without a win.[4] Things did not get better for Daly-Taylor in 2017, as the Hawks started the season with a 1–6 record. Amid allegations she had lost the respect of some players, on 26 April 2017, she handed in her resignation after a "panic attack" following the team's Anzac Day loss to the Canterbury Rams in Napier.[5]
