China vs Brazil fight

Agree DB5. Very ordinary from FIBA yet again.

China's national coach Bob Donewald Jr., a manager and three players have been suspended by the Chinese Basketball Association for an ugly on-court brawl with the Brazil team

Donewald was suspended indefinitely, fined $7,500 and given a formal demerit (whatever that is?)

Manager Zhang Xiong was fined $4,500, and players Ding Jinhui, Su Wei, and Zhu Fangyu, who were each fined $3,000.

The Chinese team's preparations for the Asian Games have been put on hold to give players time to "deeply reflect." All players have also been ordered to attend lessons on good sportsmanship.

Interesting to note that FIBA has yet to impose any sanctions of their own like occurred in the Greece vs Serbia brawl. This is all that is on their website so far: http://linky.com.au/g8dj7

Jr_Sr, i agree the coach should have been kicked out after his behaviour but did you see the officials behind the bench??? as he slammed his fist they jumped and just ignored it, they needed some better security to control that situation, if one of those people stood up to him he without a doubt would have probably floored them in his state of mind. The way the Chinese crowd was you would have thought they paid to see a boxing match!

Following the Serbia vs Greece brawl (and the very lenient sanctions imposed by FIBA), I am still surprised that this kind of thing happened so soon after.

FIBA may find it difficult to impose greater sanctions than those dished out to the Greek and Serbian players and teams as they went too soft to begin with.

Yeh i searched for this fight after reading up Boti's article. It was disgusting how far it went. I hope China get a substantial ban for that. it appeared the Brazilians barely even instigated it, they kept trying to walk away and the chinese kept going for them. the boot bashing at the end was shocking. Good to see the CBA recognised it was their fault.
