Game over for Trapani Shark. The Sicilian club was formally excluded from the Serie A basketball championship after the farce of the “match” staged on Saturday evening against Trento, which lasted 5 minutes and was interrupted by the referees due to a lack of players. A very similar scene that took place a few days earlier in the Basketball Champions League, when Trapani faced the trip to Bulgaria, to face the Israelis of Hapoel Holon under strength. A presence only in form, to avoid a very high fine, for a match closed prematurely, also in this case, due to lack of players to field.
And it didn’t take who knows what court to decree the exit of the club led by the volcanic president Valerio Antonini. In fact, the single sports judge who evoked the principle of “sporting loyalty” was enough to fail by presenting the team in Trento only to avoid running into the second no-show of the season, after having missed the trip to Bologna against Virtus a week earlier.
