Khimki’s coach was called with a technical during the second game against CSKA Moscow and commented on his relationship with the refs in the press conference that followed the game.
“I’m trying to be polite with the referees”, said the experienced Greek coach “even though sometimes we see some crazing things happening.” He made it clear that he’s not condemning the referees, despite the technical foul he got: “Ι’m not criticizing the referees, so let’s don’t criticize me for my reactions”.
CSKA Moscow‘s coach Dimitris Itoudis added: “I’m feeling great. It’s always tough, but especially when we are missing teammates like Nando and Kyle. They are super important for us, probably our best players. So we are really happy. We know we have a long way still and they are going to come ready on next Wednesday. We are going to try to secure going to the Final Four by playing another good game. I came here to play these kinds of games. I really enjoy it when we have this atmosphere and when we play these playoff games. I enjoy it a lot. I have been working very hard the whole year for this and hopefully, we can advance and keep going on the road.”
