Anadolu Efes Istanbul had to go the entire second half against Darussafaka without their head coach Ergin Ataman yesterday as the Turkish specialist was ejected with a minute remaining in the second quarter.

During a fast break, Erten Gazi attempted a contested layup. Objecting to the no-call on the court, Ataman stormed almost into the middle of the floor, gesturing to the official nearby.

The coach was quickly given his second technical foul of the match and had to be ejected. On his way to the locker room, Ataman was heard shouting 'Bravo, bravo!' for the referees' decision, Milliyet report.
