Dijon – Roanne, there are 40 seconds left. Everything remains to be done between the two teams (96-96) and Jacques Alingue partially loses his right shoe. This does not prevent him from getting the wave in his hands, finding Gregor Hrovat for an assist and somehow going to the offensive rebound, just in case. On the Loire throw-in, the internal history of the JDA signals to the referees, Mathieu Hosselet then Guillaume Collin, but nobody sees it. So he voluntarily throws his shoe at Collin’s feet, which ends up stopping the game, but Corale’s counterattack had already been launched and at the time of the whistle Stefan Moody was about to launch the offer that would allow Yannis Morin to find the way of networks. Basket rejected, Roannaise misunderstanding and anger from the bench. A sequence visible in the summary video, from 4’40.
In the next action, Yannis Morin will have another chance but this time he will fail. The Choir had missed its chance and will finally bow 98-103. « I know we can stop the game due to injury, but when someone loses their shoe, it will be necessary to explain it to me.dropped Jean-Denys Choulet, in the remarks transmitted by ActivRadio. “When there is a counterattack, you throw your shoe and the game is stopped?! I really don’t understand. »
Explanations with Alingue at the press conference
In the press conference, in addition to pointing out the differential in free throws (19 to 33), the two-time French champion coach also had the opportunity to explain himself to the person concerned, again to the microphones of ActivRadio.
Jean Denys Choulet : “Jacques, have you lost your shoe?! Did you throw it away? »
Jacques Alingue : “I was like that with the referee, I told him: look, my shoe is gone! »
jdc extension : “And then what did you do?” Did you throw it away? »
And : “Well, because she had taken off. I had to put it on, I can’t play like that. »
jdc extension : “Do you think it’s normal for me to stop the clock?” What interrupts the game? »
And : “Well yeah, I think it’s normal. »
jdc extension : “The rules aren’t like that”
And : “Even before Gregor scored, my shoe was already out. »
jdc extension : “But that’s not the rule! »
And : “Here’s the video! Even before she scored, she was already removed. I was like this in front of the referee. »
At the center of the debates, Yannis Morin also made his misunderstanding. “The turn of the match is not in our favor. In my opinion the players are not the only ones responsible for all this. It’s complicated because he takes an action with four points to spare at the end. » Obviously the regulation does not provide for such a situation but it is envisaged that the referees can decide to stop the clock as soon as they believe that there is a danger to the game or to the physical integrity of the players.
Beyond this fact, Corale will still be able to settle for a new quality performance, having come close to bringing down another league dimension, after Cholet and Metropolitans 92. But this is not an honorable defeat that will make business with Roannaises in the race for the Leaders Cup…
