Forlì fined for referee disrespect

The Italian Basketball Federation published the disciplinary rulings for round six of Serie A2. Unieuro Forlì was fined 2,250 euros for collective and repeated insults directed at referees. Part of the insults were considered discriminatory in nature when setting the penalty.

The club was also warned to make the referee and visiting team rooms fully operational. The reason given was that the rooms had no doors. The home club is responsible for correcting this deficiency.

Cremona's JU.VI. Cremona Basket 1952 was fined 750 euros for a similar offense. In addition to collective insults from club supporters toward referees, a supporter bowing forward as the referees passed through the tunnel was cited as a reason for the penalty.

In the same week, Fortitudo Bologna and Macron used a specially designed "Bimbo Tu Edition" GameSet for their last home match. The week's results and standings are covered in a separate report. Brindisi beat Avellino comfortably. Livorno won 92-87 away at Forlì. Caserta beat Mestre to record their second consecutive win.
