Boucher quits Breakers

Dillon Boucher, one of New Zealand’s best known basketballers, is quitting his role as general manager of the New Zealand Breakers. Boucher, 44, took over as general manager of the Australian NBL club in 2016 after a decorated playing career with the Tall Blacks, the Breakers and a number of other clubs, including the Perth Wildcats and Brisbane Bullets. ‘‘I have poured my heart and soul into this club, both on the court and off the court. It’s part of my DNA, it’s part of who I am and it will always be part of who I am,’’ Boucher told

1 News last night. ‘‘It’s a very sad day, but I feel comfortable with my decision.’’
