Lamonica outspoken on criticism of referees

Luigi Lamonica, referee commissioner, was a guest on Icarus TV. “Criticism of the refereeing class is there, but it’s part of the game. As long as the protest remains in the newspapers, there is no problem,” he recounted among other things.

After four rounds of Serie A only one team is on 0 points: Trieste. Virtus Bologna and Bertram Tortona are on full points. Sixteen teams are participating in the men’s top league. Olimpia Milano holds the Italian championship title and the two newly promoted teams are Scafati and Verona. Lombardy (Olimpia, Brescia and Varese) and Veneto (Treviso, Venice and Verona) are the most represented regions. Antonello Riva leads the all-time leading scorer list in the basketball league. The ‘Nembo Kid’ from Rovagnate put up 14,397 points between 1977 and 2002. Behind him is Oscar Schmidt (13,957 points): the Brazilian, known as ‘Mão Santa’ (‘Holy Hand’), made Juvecaserta and Pavia fans fibrillate. Third place for Carlton Myers: 11,320 points for him.
