"After consideration of the allegations and the risk to the health and safety of players and the club's obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act , as well as the obligations we have under the Basketball Australia Member Protection Policy, it was determined by the Sydney Flames to carry out an independent, factual investigation of the allegations made and that Shane Heal be suspended whilst the investigation took place," the club said in a statement.
"Several players subsequently approached the Australian Basketball Players Association who have provided counselling and support to the players concerned, for which the club remains grateful. "The club has remained resolute in allowing due process to be followed including limiting public comment to avoid any repercussions for the individuals involved. It will continue to adopt that approach."and his daughter Shyla made a mid-season move to Townsville Fire two weeks ago.
"The Sydney Flames see no merit in Mr Heal's current legal manoeuvrings and will defend Mr Heal's Court proceedings vigorously and to its full extent."
