Dubai suffered a defeat against Red Star in the initial encounter of the ABA league, held in Belgrade, a fiercely contested game. Coach Jurica Golemac expressed considerable frustration following the match, primarily directed at the officiating referees. The home team significantly outperformed their visitors, accumulating 29 free throws compared to Red Star’s 36.
After offering initial congratulations to his opponents for securing the victory, Golemac immediately addressed his concerns regarding the game’s decisions. He felt the referees’ performance was unacceptable. Furthermore, his rising star, Aleksa Avramović, was identified as a key target for future recruitment.
The Serbian game organizer acknowledged an incident during the game, stating that the ball had inadvertently struck him while he was traveling in his car. This resulted in the referees awarding possession to Red Star and subsequently issuing a warning to Golemac. Avramović was relegated to the bench among the reserve players, as explained by Golemac after the game.
The situation highlighted the contentious nature of the game and Golemac’s strong reaction to his perceived injustices.
