Many of the great coaching masters choose a specific moment to use their reaction to try to influence the referee’s criteria, even at the cost of a technical foul. In this way, they often try to put pressure on the referees, but also to “awaken” or protect their players.
The individual currently leading in the Euroleague is a completely unexpected name – Alex Mumbru. The Spanish coach on the Valencia bench has earned a total of 11 technical fouls so far this season.
In second place, four coaches share the spotlight when it comes to technical fouls. Specifically, Roger Grimau, Oded Kattash, Ergin Ataman, and Gianmarco Pozzecco have each received referee sanctions eight times. It’s worth noting that the Italian coach at Asvel has only been on the sidelines for 15 games.
