Coach of JDA Dijon and AS Monaco Clash in Betclic Elite Match: Full Report and Photos

Saturday evening at the Palais des Sports in Dijon, the coach of JDA Dijon and AS Monaco had difficulty controlling their nerves. With a warning and a technique for Laurent Legname who came close to expulsion. Our focus and our photo report.

In the world of basketball, it is understood that Laurent Legname, the coach of JDA Dijon, is capable of the worst anger. We also know that the Serbian Sasa Obradovic, the coach of AS Monaco, does not laugh very often and that his smiles are rather rare.
The two gave a GG demonstration, hear “Grandes Gueules”, as on RMC, Saturday evening, during the Betclic Elite match.
It is true that for the two teams, as for the two coaches, it was a match at stake. For JDA Dijon, win to hope to make the play-offs. For Monaco not to register a second away defeat, after the setback at Saint-Quentin.

We will recognize that the stakes were lower for Obradovic. But the Serb doesn’t like to be wrong. Even when he’s wrong. So, it was because the table had not given him a time out that he climbed into the towers with great anger. Except that, knowing that, he had not made the gesture that every coach must do to request a time out. A moment of confusion and he then apologized to the table.
For Laurent Legname, the adrenaline rush increased during the first half. The Dijonnais coach exploded several times during the meeting. For what ? Because in the first half he did not admit the two fouls whistled against David Holston in 5 minutes 48 in the first quarter and the third arrival very quickly in the second quarter, having forced him not to let his master only played 7 minutes 25, on the floor in the first half.
It is understood that Sasa Obradovic, the ASMonaco coach, was right in asking Matthew Strazel to play on Holston, to provoke him. But on the contrary, in the second half, Laurent Legname did not ask David Holston to defend, first hand, on Strazel. Which perhaps he should have done from the start.
In this last chance meeting – or almost – for the play-offs, Laurent Legname received a warning for his protests considered outrageous. And a technical foul for entering the floor. With points conceded which weighed a little heavily at the end of the match. Even if Monaco did not need to force its talent to win. But we know, in basketball, sometimes not much is enough.
For the record, we will note with a smile that in this electric match on the bench, it was the Dijon players who on several occasions took care to calm their sanguine coach.
