Breakers centre Rob Loe has opened up about "meetings" held behind closed doors about player behaviour after a spate of off-court controversies over the last month.
The Kiwi ANBL franchise's struggles this season have been made worse by several instances of player misbehaviour, including the indefinite suspension of American import Glen Rice Jr for an alleged assault and a mid-air incident involving Tom Vodanovich en route to Auckland where the police were called – all within the space of a few days.
Loe, who has been sidelined for weeks after fracturing his skull in October, admitted that the incidents have been "bad distractions" and revealed that there have been meetings with players on their behaviour off the court.
"Yeah obviously there's been some pretty bad distractions there that no professional team wants – no one wants to be honest," Loe told Radio Sport.
"It's just brought us together a little bit. We've had a few players meetings about how to act and how to hold ourselves and they've gone really well and I think the boys have bought into it. [We're] only looking forward from here."
