He was in a furious state Gianmarco Pocecoafter defeat (80-70) of Villeurbanne from Monacoin the French derby of the Euroleague.
The Italian coach left spikes for the three referees, saying that they showed no respect to his team and they didn’t give her the same chance to claim victory.
For the record, the three referees of the match in the Principality were Emin Mogulkots (Turkey), Gedian Cici (Albania) and Guido Giovanetti (Italy)while during the match in general Ponceco often expressed his complaints and even accepted a technical penalty.
“Not everyone respects us on the dance floor! And that’s something I don’t like at all. We deserve respect. We fight, we work hard. We deserve to have the same opportunity as everyone else to win our games. I’m really furious…“, said the Italian coach in his initial statement, who was clearly asked if he was addressing the referees with his statement, and he shrugged his shoulders, adding:
“I want respect! I want respect!».
