Illawarra Hawks Coach Addresses False Report
After the Hawks' significant win, coach Justin Tatum denied reports about departed import JaQuori McLaughlin being a "cancer" in the locker room.
The report was false, and that young man was nothing but a pleasure for our organisation and in our locker room, on and off the court.
Tatum stated that the team and McLaughlin mutually agreed to part ways on Friday, prior to the Hawks' 116-89 win against the Brisbane Bullets.
The coach's statement contradicts a report by Code Sports claiming McLaughlin's departure was due to him being a negative influence in the locker room.
