It also didn't stop Dog Shit players from going out on the lash prior to the Spurs game.

Guess it depends how you approach it
That's the point, isn't it?! McL coems to VP with a reputation of being a straight-talker and a team-bond builder. He'll also know exactly who the 'trouble-makers' are: the managers do seem to share information about certain players. So, he'll have made this comment fully knowing what actions he'll need to take.
It's a nothing story really: all managers (in all sectors) seek to establish the ground-rules with a new team; it's just good practice.
