Basketball: Boucher reprimanded over text message

1.00pm

It has been confirmed Tall Black forward Dillon Boucher has hit out at coach Frank Arsego in a text message sent to former coach Jeff Green.

Breakers CEO Peter Chapman confirms Boucher made derogatory comments about Arsego in the message sent to Green after last weekend's loss to Adelaide.

It is believed the message claimed Arsego has 'no clue' and nobody likes him - it is understood other senior players share Boucher's sentiments.

But Chapman says the message was the result of frustration because Boucher spent most of the match on the bench.

Chapman says the message was irresponsible and derogatory to the organisation and Boucher has been severely reprimanded.

He says Boucher has apologised to Arsego and the rest of the team.

However he has not been dropped from the team for Friday night's home game against West Sydney.
