Matt Paps will return for another season as the Albury Wodonga women's coach, as the club embarks on a new era in NBL1 East.
Paps has been part of the Bandits' women's program for the past two years and endured his first official season this year as part of NBL1 South.
He told The Border Mail about his excitement for the next chapter in his coaching career.
"I think NBL1 East is going to bring some exciting times for the club going forward," Paps said.
"It brings a new set of challenges and we'll have to deal with more travel, but I think it makes it more exciting.
"For a lot of the Albury juniors, they'll be playing some of the clubs they've grown up playing against."
