Mitch McCarron didn’t hold back.
The Adelaide 36ers skipper delivered an all-time, expletive-laden spray to his teammates, accusing them of “snitching” in a rant caught by 10 News Adelaide cameras during a training session after a tumultuous week for the club.
The 36ers sacked coach CJ Bruton amid the team’s grim 4-9 record this season to occupy second-last spot on the NBL season, with Scott Ninnis to take over as interim coach.

“Shut the f*** up, stop f***ing bitching!,” the 31-year old exclaims in the centre of Adelaide players and staff on the training court in the video.
“This is why we’re in this f***ing position, everyone wants to f***ing snitch on each other.
“No f***ing consolidarity, no one can f***ing keep it in house, everyone wants to f***ing snitch on every other person and throw every other f***ing person under the bus.
“We’re not going to f***ing do it! Train hard, shut the f*** up, get stops, win games — end of story!”
The staff and players then huddle in together as a group at the end of the clip.
McCarron has spent the last three seasons at the 36ers after previous stints at Melbourne United and Cairns Taipans.
