The vice-president of Panathinaikos, Manos Papadopoulos, complained about Olympiacos’ defense.

At the draw for the referees of Basket League's (Greek championship) 18th Round he said "we need to see what is going on and who is to blame. You (Central Referees' Committee) for lack of education at your members or them, who are not following the rules. The thing is we have a team which beats their opponents and the refs don't whistle anything. We have a new Limoges! We also have a player, Hackett, who always holds the opposite player with the ball and he never gets a foul. Players who are beating their opponents, are highlighted as the best defenders. Teams which are wrestling are the best defensive teams in Europe! But we see that the refs don’ respect the rules".

    The paradox of the story is that Olympiakos did complain in the past for the unprofessional refereeing in the games between those 2 teams in the Hellenic league, at some point in the team was Mr.Itoudis(current CSSKA headcoach) but back then everyone was laughing on the comments of Mr.Skindilias and Aggelopoulous brothers. Now the same persons are trying to built a propaganda under the name of Olympiakos, that is a wrestling team and doesn't play basketball and all these kind of bullshit....


    What are they trying to prove? That basketball is a soft game and that's how we need to play it? Rules change mr.Papadopoulos and since your players are the first to know how to play tough, all those years with the example of Mr.Elbowman (the so respected mr.Diamantidis) you need to control your mouth and what bullshit is coming out of it
