Discontent with Referee Decisions
The Whites were unhappy with the referee’s performance, particularly due to the five technical fouls they received during the match. The players, Mateo, and the bench shared these technical fouls, which the coach felt was excessive.
A Leader in Technical Fouls
According to a Greek portal, Sportal, Madrid has accumulated 21 technical fouls in 22 games, with 11 going to players, four to the coach, and six to the bench.
Comparison with Other Teams
Other teams in the Euroleague have not received as many technical fouls as Madrid. Anadolu Efes and Panathinaikos have 14, while Barcelona has 10. In contrast, Alba Berlin, Bayern Munich, and Partizan have only received three technical fouls each.
Coaches with the Most Technical Fouls
Oded Kattash, coach of Maccabi, and Andrea Trinchieri, coach of Zalgiris, lead the way in terms of technical fouls received by coaches. There are only two coaches who have not received any technical fouls so far: Pablo Laso (Baskonia) and Zejko Obradovic (Partizan).
