1. Great anger at Hapoel Tel Aviv against referees Amit Black, Tzachi Hadali and especially Nir Myerson following their conduct during the 87:82 loss to Bnei Herzliya yesterday (Thursday) in the State Cup final.
According to the team members, they had already warned about the wrong placement the day before the game, claiming that more senior referees should be brought to the finals, and also that they claim Myrson has erred against them several times in recent years.
"Clowns, they came from home to destroy us," shouts were heard near the referee's room at the end of the game.
By the way, the three judges remained hidden in their room for a long time and left Menora Mivtachim Hall only late after the area was completely vacated.
"Hapoel Tel Aviv is a big club and the treatment of us was not accordingly," said Danny Franco. "I am angry with the basketball association on this day.
We will finish here, take a breath, then take care of what we need. "The coach also referred to the professional side:" I am very proud of my players who came to this game today the way we got here, their conduct and behavior before this game and during the game, it does not matter if we won This game or not, we took this club to the days he dreamed of getting to and the excitement he dreamed of getting to.
"There is a large community that accompanies our team, and it is clear that when they reach the final, they are disappointed if they lose."

Captain Bar Timor who so dreamed of swinging the title looked broken and said with tears in his eyes: "I am disappointed, exhausted and crushed. I do not have much to add."
The guard also wanted to talk about the judging decisions, but at the last minute he backed off.
Gil Benny, Lotan Amsalem and other players also found it difficult to hide the crying and much disappointment.

Before the game, Hapoel Tel Aviv insisted not to reserve a place for celebrations and not to order amplification and security for fear of the evil eye, but during the game or near its whistle a decision was made that if the team wins the celebrations will be held in the huge plaza near Menora Mivtachim Hall. Seder.Unfortunately, the amplification company was forced to retrace its steps.
The Union of Judges' response will be brought when it is received.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
