The LKL Disciplinary Commission, which met on Monday, did not consider that the protest filed by Utena residents immediately after the game did not comply with LKL regulations and official basketball rules.
However, the commission decided that 4 sec. Until the final siren, the judges were really wrong in misjudging the situation.
Augustas Marčiulionis, who fell to B. Crawford from three points, should have been penalized, which would have given the Juventus legionnaire a chance to snatch a win or at least extra time with a free kick.
However, the referees’ whistles were silent, and the Vilnius team defeated with the result 88:86.
LKL acknowledged that this mistake “substantially violated Juventus’ chances of winning the match.”
Artūras Šukis, the main judge of the match, was disqualified for a month and a half due to his “unskilled duties”.
His colleague Mindaugas Večerskis, who had to notice the contact between the players and record the infraction, will not be able to work in LKL matches for 2 weeks.
“On behalf of LKL, we regret and apologize for the error made by the judges,” the league report said.
We remind you that after the game, Ž. Urbon accused the judges of stealing.
“It just came to our knowledge then. I used to live in Panevėžys and once I got back home I found a tattered apartment. There was nothing very expensive there, maybe a video recorder was removed. But until now I remember that feeling of being Stolen.
Now I feel exactly the same. You can lose a man by getting to the face from the left, then lie down and think that next time you will be smarter and not miss that punch. And today was different. It entered man like a steam locomotive. I don’t know how such a fault can be avoided. Here is fear, those mistakes cannot be made. Scary. You probably didn’t see it, maybe at the time you were thinking about how you would open a cold beer after the game.
It is difficult to recover. We want to play this game again or, more precisely, this episode. Of course, I understand it myself – what those protests will change … They will punish those poor people, but the victories will not bring us back “, – Ž. Urbonas.
At the time, his direct opponent Giedrius Žibėnas did not see the scandal in the controversial episode.
“If the judges did not whistle, then there was no offense. And they wrote the protest probably because they hope it can help in the future. We could also choose many episodes. But in general, the judges worked well, although they made some mistakes, we made more” said the specialist.
Rytas (5/20) is in second place in the tournament table, Juventus (9/17) is in fourth place.
