THE Olympic suffered a painful defeat from the Barcelona with a score of 82-80 in overtime, with the Catalans regaining home advantage and becoming favorites for Final Four.

After the match, the “red and white” expressed strong complaints about the refereeing, which focused on two phases. Initially, in the three shots won by Jabari Parker almost in stoppage time, shaping the final result, after a foul was charged to Philip Petrushev.

And secondly, in a phase that took place at the end of the regular season, when o Thomas Satoransky took longer to bring the ball back than 5 secondshowever no offense was whistled, resulting in Nikos Laprovitola in the development of the attack to tie (71-71) and send the match to overtime.

THE Euroleague took a stand for these two phases through an official announcement, partially vindicating him Olympicas indeed he judged incorrect the decision not to whistle 5 seconds in Satoranski’s throw-in, which would have given the Piraeus a big victory lead.

“With 16.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the time the Barcelona player, Thomas Satoranskyhas the ball in his hands before taking the throw-in, exceeds the 5 second limit. The referees should have blown the whistle 5 second violation resulting in the possession of Olympiakos. wrong decision”the announcement for this phase states in detail.

Nevertheless, the Euroleague sided with the referees regarding the foul on Parker. “With 1 second left in overtime, defenseman Filip Petrushev comes in contact with his left arm with Jabari Parker’s armwhen the latter starts the upward movement preceding a shot. The referees gave a foul. Right decision”is specifically highlighted.

Finally, the announcement explains that the referees in such a phase can only see the instant replay to decide whether the foul that was whistled was on timeand then check how much time is left on the clock. They do not have but the possibility to take back the foul.

???? Fault of Filip Petrusev who gave 3 lancer-francs to Jabari Parker at the buzzer!
