The game KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 and KK Teodo from round 3 of group D of SIGAL-UNIQA Balkan League. With 2:42 to play in the third quarter and the visitors leading by 1 point, the head coach of the home team - Dragan Nikolic, ordered his team to leave the court. After that Teodo was awarded a 20-0 win and the game was over. Here is the official decision by the BIBL management:
Last night, WED 22.02.2017, during game D6 KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 vs KK Teodo, 02:42 minutes to the end of the 3rd quarter with result 60 -61 in favor of KK Teodo, the coach of the home team Mr .Dragan Nikolic entered to the court and instructed his players to leave the court and to stop playing.
The officials went to their locker room. After 10 minutes the commissioner received the information from the head coach that the club’s management instructed him, against his and players opinion, not to continue to play the game.
This kind of unsportsmanlike action is not acceptable in any sport in the modern world. This kind of behavior does not have place in any sport and leaves with the feeling it was done deliberately by the coach without any reason.
Having in consideration all the above-written along with the commissioner’s and the official reports, BIBL hereby imposes the following sanctions:
The club is fined with immediate effect according to the official regulations article 11.2.2 of BIBL by losing the game by Forfeit, 20-0 (Twenty to Zero) with 0 (zero) points to the classification and in addition the club is fined with the amount of 5,000 EUR.
11.2. Withdrawal and Forfeit
11.2.1. If before the first game a club declines to participate, the participation deposit shall not be reimbursed to the team and BIBL may replace the club.
11.2.2. If after the first game of BIBL competition a club declines to play or to continue to play (except under circumstances of “force majeure”), it shall lose by forfeit:
- First forfeit: the game is awarded to the opponents, the score shall be 20-0 (twenty to zero) and the forfeiting team shall receive 0 (zero) points in the classification. In addition, the club shall be fined up to EUR 5000 .
- Second forfeit: the club shall be disqualified for the reminder of BIBL competition. In addition, the participation deposit shall not be reimbursed to the same club.”
The amount of the fine shall be deducted by KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 financial deposit at the end of the season and an invoice according to the Bulgarian Tax Code shall be provided.
As KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 have already several infractions of BIBL regulation from the beginning of the season regarding marketing, advertisement, including their last home game D2 from 01.02.2017 KK Karpos Sokoli vs KK Kumanovo 2009: 101 – 106 to KK Kumanovo 2009 when on the court there was not one (1) player eligible to play for the national team of the club’s country at all times where the fine under the regulations is 5000 EUR (five thousand euro).
“5.1.3. During game, on the court must be present at least one (1) player eligible to play for the national team of the club’s country at all times.
The Coach is responsible for applying this principle. In case of any infraction during the game, an immediate substitution must be administered followed by a technical foul charged to the Coach, marked with “B” in the scoresheet. A fine of EUR 5000 shall be imposed.”
After the fine imposed here and the previously accumulated once, KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 has exceeded the initial deposit of 12 000 EUR as a guarantee.
Therefore, in order to be able to continue its participation in season 2016-2017, KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 MUST have with the League at least 50% of the full amount available due to the fact more than half of the season has p?ssed already.
