    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen's gone against toeing the party line after confirmation of the club signing Tacko Fall for the remainder of the A-NBL basketball season

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen's gone against toeing the party line after confirmation of the club signing Tacko Fall for the remainder of the A-NBL basketball season


    The 2.29 metre tall centre comes in at the expense of import Freddie Gillespie - as the side sits second in the league with a seven-win-three loss record.

    Koponen says he was happy with his roster, and the move was pushed by the Breakers owners.



    Fall could make his Breakers debut when they face the Hawks in Illawarra tomorrow night.
