SCM Craiova, virulent reaction after the failure in the championship
“The Romanian Basketball Federation could announce to us in advance that we are not allowed to win in front of the leader in the National League. Even if you ambitant and fight for victory, he will still win.
In this sense, the “three crayons from the East” intervene, who fulfill their mission to the end and take care to win who should. Our team fully respects the rules of the basketball game, respects the spectators and will fight with fair play to honor the sports show. We fight to the end for. Ps.

At the after -match interview, Tudor Costescu, the coach of the Oltenians, came extremely disappointed and commented in harsh terms.
“From the basketball point of view, I have to congratulate the team from Oradea. He has talented players in the Lot Cristian Achim, who are doing excellent in the attack. Unfortunately we do not deserve to lose today. It was a match that had to run differently. I am still unpleasantly surprised by the formation of these arbitrators in the National Liga.
See also in the part of Oradea, because there is dissatisfaction. Then we can say of weak arbitration. There were at least three to four return to the decision after consultation. Instead of three points they gave two, instead of two they gave three. There were also out -of -the -art decisions. Clearly it is lacking in consistency, attention and even lack of value. There should be no such arbitration in the Romanian championship.
It is hard for me not to talk about arbitration now, especially since it has affected us directly today. I had terrible episodes in this championship, and now, in this match … they told me they didn't see a foul, that they were masked by another player. Leave yourself from arbitration, then! Your responsibility is to see the phases regardless of circumstances.
If you do not succeed, leave this job, you do not have to be here, on our money, on our nerves. Maybe I will be sanctioned, but I want to say aloud that I had a weak arbitration of everything that influenced the result of the game. Memoir we cannot do, because it is in vain.
We did at the end of the match with Pitesti, but we only chose with a stage of suspending the respective referees. I am very frustrated by everything that happened today, but we go ahead. We are trying to be competitors appreciated in this championship, but if we find such arbitrari, things will not depend on us, “said Craiova coach, after the match in Bănie, on Friday night.
After this match, Oradea remains the first in the National League, with 51 points. Craiova is in 8th place, the last one that leads to the play-off, with 41 points.
