Gianmarco Pozzecco lost his temper once again. In the game between Asvel and Baskonia, the Italian coach received an ejection.
Asvel had a fantastic start to the game, building a double-digit lead with excellent offensive play. At the beginning of the second quarter, the French team had a 16-point advantage. By the end of the first half, Baskonia managed to close the gap.
In the second half, the visiting team played much better. In the closing moments of the third quarter, Baskonia staged a comeback and took the lead. This further infuriated the Italian coach, leading to his ejection at the first opportunity
With 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Gianmarco Pozzecco reacted vehemently, expressing dissatisfaction with the referee’s decisions. Having already received one technical foul, he earned another, leading to his ejection from the game prematurely.
This is the second time that the fiery Italian has been ejected since taking over the coaching duties for the French team. While he has clearly brought improvement to Asvel’s gameplay, he still struggles to restrain himself when it comes to protesting decisions.
