Outgoing Netball New Zealand chair Matt Whineray regrets the way they communicated with the public during the drawn out Silver Ferns coaching saga. 

Whineray is ending his eight-year tenure alongside three others at board level. 

The governing body came under scrutiny last year for their handling of the standing down, and eventual re-instatement, of Dame Noeline Taurua. 

Whineray told Mike Hosking they had the right intentions. 

He says they were trying to balance the obligations they have with the need to keep people informed, but they know their communication could be better.
