He didn't think long.
In memory this had never happened to him.
This Saturday evening, Pascal Donnadieu was expelled for the first time in his long coaching career which began in the 1980s. Guilty of having received two technical faults, the emblematic coach of Nanterre left the bench in the 25th minute and watched, helplessly, the rout of his team (76-104) facing the neighbor Boulogne-Levallois on a computer screen.
The Hauts-de-Seine derby turned into a nightmare for Nanterre.

Already deprived of Lucas Dussoulier (fell ill during the day) and young Jules Bravin (knee operated on Friday and absent until January), the Nanterriens did not have the weapons to resist the firepower of the Metropolitans.
After a balanced start to the match (28-27, 15th), Nantes pivot Luke Fischer was sent off.
The evening changes.
“This decision seals the fate of the match, regrets Pascal Donnadieu.
The victory of the Mets does not suffer from any dispute but until this expulsion we were well in place.
"
Four days after their demonstration (108-81), Wednesday, against Monaco, Boulogne-Levallois confirms its good start to the campaign.
“We were not good offensively at the start of the match but we showed the right attitude, appreciates Vincent Collet who therefore won his first Paris derby.
I am satisfied with our service.
"
For its part, for the first match in its history in Betclic Elite, Paris Basketball lost a small point (97-98) against Roanne.
