Virtus Bologna knocked out, Milos Teodosic ejected: Sergio Scariolo explains

Bitter ending at PalaDozza for the Black Vu’s

Virtus Bologna closes the European week with two defeats in as many games: after the narrow knockout, in overtime, on Wednesday in the home of Panathinaikos, this evening also came the home one against Anadolu Efes, able to impose 85-80 in a match characterized by the expulsion of Milos Teodosic right in the final, for vibrant protests against the referees following a controversial referee decision on a throw-in.

Sergio Scariolo, asked about the issue in a press conference, explained, “It’s never easy to referee a game like this. We are sure there was the 5-second infraction on the throw-in, however, we checked and it did not fall under the instant replay scenario. From the team’s point of view we are rookies in the competition, sometimes this condition requires us to eat our dust and keep our cool. As for Teodosic, on the other hand, this is certainly not an inexperienced player: I have no idea what he told the referees, he spoke in Serbian. It went like this.”
