A day after two Alabama football players were arrested in Louisiana, coach Nick Saban was in Hoover for a charity golf pro-am.
Before warming up for the Regions Tradition at Greystone Country Club, Saban took a few questions on the issues facing left tackle Cam Robinson and safety Hootie Jones.
Saban said he's spoken to both players after their arrest on drug and weapon possession charges.
"Yeah, I talked to them and there's nothing really different on it," Saban said.
The two were arrested at a public park after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning in Monroe, La. Robinson, a potential first-round draft pick, was charged with felony possession of a stolen firearm.
Saban said the program's investigation will be done in private.
"Look, I'm not going to talk about that now," Saban said. "You've been around here for nine years, have you not? How do we do it? We do it internally. It's not something we do publicly and we're not going to do it today."
A handful of players have been arrested in last few offseasons. Most were handled internally without suspensions carrying over into the next fall.
Saban explained his strategy for dealing with off-field issues.
"If we can change their behavior based on what we do, that would be the purpose of discipline," Saban said. "Discipline is not necessarily just punishment, which a lot of people view it that way. It's how do you change somebody's behavior so they have a better chance to be successful.
"That's the way we've always done it. That's the way we always try to do it. That's the way I like to do it with my own children. I think that's the way most parents like to do it with their own children."
