Some… clouds gathered above him Gianmarco Pocecoon the occasion of his dismissal in Italy’s loss to the Dominican Republicin the World Cup.
This was shown by the statements of the president of the country’s basketball federation, stressing that he does not want to see similar incidents again, in the matches of the “squadra azura”!
“We deserved to lose and the referee has nothing to do with the result. We didn’t lose to the referee, as that is the spirit of sport“, initially stated Gianni Petrucci and then referred to Gianmarco Ponceco’s dismissal:
“Such an episode should not happen again. It’s hard when a team loses its coach. He is a good coach and knows his job well, but he is not the only one to blame. However, something similar should not happen again. We spoke with him (including Pocheko) and his staff. We said he is not solely responsible for the defeat, but he played an important role».
Immediately after his dismissal, Ponceco was shouting outside the dressing room, asking to speak to someone from FIBA to express his complaints about the arbitration.
