Ettore Messina replied harshly to a question in the press room

Ettore Messina responds harshly to a question in the press room after the loss to Pistoia. The question is about the absence of timeout calls in the most delicate moment of the third quarter: “I had already used two during the third quarter, if you remember.

And again: ‘Just check them. If you come to ask me a question, you have to look at it first’.

The journalist, who has been following Olimpia Milano for years, apologised and pointed out that at the most delicate moment, the same five remained on the court. Here too, Ettore Messina closes the discussion: ‘It’s easy to talk afterwards’.

Actually, according to the LBA play-by-play, and a first quick review of the third quarter, Ettore Messina called a total of three timeouts: one at 8:04 of the third quarter, one at 3:23 and one at 0:14 of the fourth. So, only one timeout in the third quarter.
