After the setback that resulted in Jaka Lakovic being banned for four games last season for his expulsion during the duel in Andalusia against Covirán Granada of the Endesa League, in the upper echelons of the Dreamland Gran Canaria They trust that the head of the yellow bench will emerge unscathed this time after the referees took him off the court in last Sunday’s derby in La Laguna against Lenovo Tenerife, which ended in a visiting defeat with referee controversy.
For now, four days from clash against Valencia Basket at the Arena, There is no ruling on this matter from the sole Competition Judge. And being in the middle of Holy Week, if it finally rules that The Slovenian’s action deserves to be penalized with matches, he could even begin to serve the sentence on the next day of the Endesa League.
Two different forums, the same hopeful message advocating for Jaka Lakovic’s amnesty after a regional rivalry duel that generated a lot of commotion in the ranks of Granca. Sitahpa Savané, president of the Claretian club, spokeeither. According to some media, the president, very harsh in his considerations with the derby referees on his social networks and later with an official statement raising a formal complaint to the ACB, held a meeting in Barcelona last Monday with eThe League’s refereeing director, Martín Bertrán.

Tahp, on the microphones Radio Marca Gran Canaria, He responded with a resounding “no” when asked if he expected a sanction for Lakovic: “The aberration was last year in Granada. I think everyone has seen it. I still haven’t found a person in the world of basketball who has said that this sanction was logical. We have seen coaches, although we should not, be kicked out of games. The biggest penalty is being kicked out of a game. There is no greater penalty for Jaka Lakovic than having been left out of this derby, which in the end we also lost. Going beyond sanctions, with this type of matches, I don’t think we will go. “It’s not something I consider listening to.”
Savané, who does not hide that the coach of the Dreamland Gran Canaria “was wrong” because of the protests that caused his expulsion, he pointed out that the statement made public by the club announcing a formal protest before the ACB about the arbitration “was to say loud and clear what we think about everything that happened on Sunday, both what “We have done wrong like what we consider was done wrong by other parties.”
«Fine and little more»
Willy Villar appeared a little later at the microphones of Be Deportivos Las Palmas. Granca’s sports director stressed that the club had not received any sanction notification, adding that “we did not expect it either.” «We are marked by the precedent of what happened last year, and we tend to think that all expulsions carry match sanctions, but luckily for our sport 95% of these expulsions involve a fine or little more, in short it was a typical expulsion that should not lead to anything else,” he explained.
“They did not have the ability to direct this match well, they were very unwise and we were hurt,” Villar said about the refereeing of last Sunday’s derby in La Laguna.
