He was furious with the referee after the Fenerbahce defeat by Efes in the third semi-final of the Turkish league o Dimitris Itoudis. The Fener coach went with a laptop for statements, in order to show some disputed phases, while he spoke of different criteria.
“I came here out of respect. Congratulations to Ephesus. We will try to win in the fourth game. Today the referees had different criteria. In such a crucial match, with so many quality players, one team took 32 shots and the other 10. This raises questions. In the second game, an Efes player gestured towards the stands and was not punished. In the match against Tofas, Gudurich received a technical penalty for the same reason. In the previous match there were 0.3 points leftseconds after Clyburn’s 3-pointer and they didn’t give it to us. “Today I had a player ready to come on as a substitute and they didn’t allow me to,” he stressed.
“Hayes was fouled by Bryant. The referees gave nothing and instead charged our player with a technical penalty. I don’t know how they didn’t see that foul, maybe they were watching another game. I didn’t mean to come here to talk about the referees, but there was a big difference in the shots. Congratulations to Efes, they have a great team, a great coach, but we also play basketball“, added the Greek technician.
