Hidayet Turkoglu, the former NBA player and currently the President of Turkish Basketball Federation, watched the Basketball Champions League playoffs game between Banvit and Brose Bamberg which was played in Turkey but wasn’t satisfied at all with the referees.
Turkoglu shared a post on his Twitter account criticizing FIBA: “I’m watching the Banvit-Brose game, the FIBA should be shame with these referees, we can’t improve FIBA basketball with these officiating”, he wrote.
