A stormy evening passed last night (Thursday) for Sharonas Jasikvicius.
His Barcelona lost to Anadolu Efes in a heated game in Turkey, during which Saras clashed with both one of his players and the opponent's coaching staff.
First, during a timeout in the third quarter, the Lithuanian coach was furious with Nikola Kalinic's defensive work, and sent him from the bench to the locker room.
When Kalinic was stopped by Corey Higgins and remained in the bench area, Saras turned to him and made it clear what he meant - immediately go down to the locker room.
"We will deal with it internally, Nikola behaved disrespectfully towards the team," claimed the coach at the end.
But that's not all.
At the end of the game, Saras shook the hand of the winning coach Ergin Atman - and immediately confronted his assistants, especially Tomislav Miatovic.
People from the side had to separate the two, and while Aras claimed that "what was between us is between us", in Spain this morning they revealed the background to the confrontation.
Will he apologize?

According to the Barcelona coach, people from Eps planted cameras in one of Barcelona's last training sessions.
"Well done on the damn camera," Sharas said to Atman's assistants.
"After we shook hands, he approached my assistants and made a very difficult claim - that we filmed his training," Atman said.
"We have never done anything like this, in my five years at Zero, and we never will. If Aras talks to me, I will tell him - if you prove it to me, I resign from the position. But if he can't prove it, then let him apologize to my assistants or Let him leave the coaches' organization. This behavior is really irrelevant."
