Dribble, 5.3/Video editing: Noa Levy
An unusual incident occurred this evening (Tuesday) during Hapoel Tel Aviv's victory over Bnei Herzliya at Hichal Shlomo.
Towards the end of the third quarter, when the Reds had a promising lead, Reds coach Danny Franco took a timeout and began scolding his players.
During the timeout, Franco shoved the sports channel's linebacker, Noa Poplinger, who was present near the bench.
He then added another movement and demanded that you move out of the area.
Franco may be sued by the Basketball Association, if the Sports Channel, the body that broadcasts the Premier League basketball games, files a complaint against him following his conduct.
Otherwise, only if the union prosecutor decides that his actions deviated from the norm, he will be prosecuted.
This was not the only incident of the Reds in the game.
Hapoel registered six Israelis and five foreigners to compete, but Dusty Hanas, the team's new reinforcement player, is not counted among the number of Israelis for the minimum since he is a new citizen, and therefore Hapoel violated the regulations of the league administration.
Will he be punished for the incident?

"An honest mistake in the interpretation of the regulations led to the non-registration of Israeli Shishi. We acknowledge the mistake and apologize for it," the club admitted in an official statement.
The Reds are expected to be fined following the mistake, as Maccabi Tel Aviv will incur for similar conduct in the victory over Maccabi Ramat Gan from last week.
