The self-appointed "spiritual home of sevens rugby" does not currently have two senior representative provincial coaches to rub together.
The Bay of Plenty Rugby Union, which will host a second successive national sevens tournament in Rotorua in January, is without a coach for either the men's or women's sides.
Former women's coach David Mays is no longer in the role, with both sides tight-lipped on what led to the split.
"It's not really something I want to lay out in the public domain to be honest," Bay of Plenty Rugby Union chief executive Mike Rogers said yesterday.
"From our point of view it hasn't worked, it's not a good move to highlight it."
