Sharon Drucker against Craig Smith: 'He is a coward'

Sharon Drucker replied to Craig Smith after the interview had by former NBA player in which he accused the coaching staff not to being capable of using him on the court.

"Signing him in Jerusalem was my biggest mistake. I thought he would be dominant in Europe but I was wrong. I am speachless for his interview. I never had problems with foreigner players and my 14-year career as coach showed that. Smith has been a coward giving that interview. The situation here is not simple. Maccabi signed wrong players last summer but they replaced them. I try to work with patient with the players and I have never attacked any of them, even after tough losses. Smith is a talented player and I thought he could have been our leader but with the interview he tried to lead a rebellion against me. I spoke with management and they game me full support. We invested a lot of money on Smith but I made a big mistake" said Drucker to Sport5.co.il.
