DS Valeriano d’Orta read a statement without the possibility of reply after the match with Varese, expressing the club’s decision to consider non-presence in the fourteenth round in Bologna. These are his words:

Trapani Shark takes note of the recent decisions by Legabasket and the Italian Basketball Federation which represent a clear injustice and persecutory act towards the club, irreparably compromising its competitiveness and the regularity of the championship as seen this evening where in normal conditions we would have respected the differences in the rankings with our opponents.
As far as we are concerned, the repeated decision not to seat coach Alex Latini on the bench, combined with the disproportionate sanctions, despite the full documented substantial regularity, the good faith demonstrated and the federal acquittal for president Antonini regarding tax credits is not an operational obstacle but an attack on the image and survival of the club. In the past, the Fip has activated flexible solutions to avoid the collapse of the system, highlighting a double standard and oppressive treatment against Trapani Shark, questioning sporting equality.

In this climate of uncertainty and lack of dialogue with the players who have expressed their desire to leave, the correctness of the club that has always guided the club is called into question. The company announces that it is carefully evaluating the possibility of not taking part in the Bologna match valid for the 14th round of the championship.
It is not a whim, but a necessary act of protest due to the gravity of what we are suffering to solicit a constructive and institutional discussion with the competent bodies.
