“I don’t want to get into political issues, but Ergin Ataman and their president, Dimitris Giannakopoulos, have concocted a story about Maccabi Tel Aviv being favored to put pressure on the referees.
Also, some players in Panathinaikos don’t want Ataman to remain at the helm of the team next season. Ataman wasn’t active enough on the court today. This kind of attitude wasn’t a good message for his players.
A head coach must always be active and engaged on the sidelines. This way, players can feel the support of their coaches,” said Gershon.
The Game 4 of the playoff series between Panathinaikos and Maccabi Tel Aviv will once again be played in Belgrade on Thursday, May 2nd.
