Final fight for the basketball championship, only fines for Olimpia Milano, Hackett and Teodosic

The disqualification round officially imposed on the Forum and the two players from Bologna was transformed into light fines: 12,000 euros for the field, 3,000 each for the Bologna players, which can be used regularly in match 3

No sting for the brawl that broke out between some Milanese fans and Virtus Bologna players, Daniel Hackett and Milos Teodosic, at the end of match-2 of the championship final, an episode that took place in the grandstand adjacent to the corridor that leads to the Forum changing rooms. In fact, the Fip Sports Judge inflicted a one-match disqualification on the Olimpia field and on the two players, which can be subject to fines of 12,000 euros for the field and 3,000 euros each for the former Azzurri and the Serbian point guard. Therefore any game-5 and game-7 would still be played at the Forum, while Hackett and Teodosic will be regularly on the field in game-3 on Wednesday in Bologna.

judgments, the whys

These are the reasons: in the case of Milan because the home crowd came into contact with an opposing player at the end of the match, when they left the playing field; in the cases of Hackett and Teodosic for the same reason: blatant and violent behavior towards the host public. In addition, the two clubs were each fined €500 for collective offenses against referees. The Judge, oral testimonies admitted but not those of the many videos filmed in the stands, preferred to adopt a light hand in the most delicate and decisive moment of the season. A provision that saves competitive fairness by avoiding future aftermath on the outcome of the championship series even if each of the two parties, Olimpia and Virtus, would have a lot to complain about the gradual nature of the responsibilities.
