AS Monaco: Sasa Obradovic denies that Dwayne Bacon tried to hit him
Rumors run in the European basket. The latest is that, last year, Dwayne Bacon (2.01 m, 27 years old) tried to hit his coach at AS Monaco, Sasa Obradovic. This one formally.
The Basketnews site reports that according to club sources, a special clause has been included in the contract of Dawyne Bacon, who has just signed for Panathinaikos, which allows him to be terminated unilaterally or to impose fines, in case the player shows signs of indiscipline. And rumor has it that last season the American came close to hitting Sasa Obradovic when the Serbian coach called the player into his office and made some observations about his game.
Sasa Obradovic denied these insinuations:
“We had a good collaboration. I’ve heard stupid stories that he beat me up, or attacked me. It’s incredible ! When I first saw this I said ‘no comment’. Who can be smart enough to believe that a player can beat his coach and then stay with the team? asked Obradovic. “And I’m going to say it one more time: if someone asked me, I wouldn’t say anything bad about them. »
Obradovic confirmed that he received a call from the Panathinaikos front office asking for information on Bacon.
“It happened, but I also said he wasn’t a bad guy. People must be smarter than that. »
