Gianni Petrucci, president of the Italian Basketball Federation, is disappointed by Gigi Datome for his post on Facebook in which he announced that he won’t play for Italy in the World Cup Qualifiers, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Petrucci was hoping for a phone call from Datome but that never happened. He also did not like the part when Datome says that FIBA earns money by organizing the National Team windows while players have to leave the clubs that pay them.
