National Cup final tournament organization for Hall of Shame
This year`s
organization of the National Cup final tournament easily
qualifies for the Hall of Shame after all that`s been going
on around it. Namely, tournament organization was given to
Igokea for the second year in a row. However, that`s not the
issue. The issue is that Igokea submitted its application
for the organization too late. As a reminder, deadline for
submitting application was 11 AM sharp. Igokea
representative submitted their application at 1:30PM, which
was too late. Clear case, right? Well, it seems that Igokea
had to get organization of this year`s final tournament and
Basketball Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina had no guts
to fight powerfull team and their boss from Laktasi.
Basketball Association has determined that all applications
had to be submitted by certain time at its headquarters.
Siroki Prima pivo and Posusje have done it in time. Igokea
did not. Their representative decided to wait a meeting with
Basketball Association presidency in order to submit his
offer. If the presidency accepted Igokea`s application why
the same presidency made a deadline for submitting
applications. It seems that the Basketball Association
presidency does not respect its own deadlines?!
Learning that Igokea`s application was
accepted after the deadline, Siroki Prima pivo decided to
drop from the competition and rightfully so. Igokea`s
representative had two and a half hours to find out what
Siroki and Posusje had offered and accordingly make a better
offer for the final tournament organization. That way,
Siroki, that would most likely win this year`s National Cup
on the basketball court kept its pride. Igokea and
Basketball Association acted as if nothing has hapened and
shamefully organized the final tournament in Igokea`s arena
for the second year in a row. And, if somebody cares
about National Cup winner: there is no winner. It will only
be recorded that Igokea received the 2006/07 National Cup.
There will always remain an asterisk next to this year`s
National Cup "winner" due to all circumstances surrounding
the final tournament organization.
