August 4, Today’s Olympic Men’s Basketball Group Stage saw South Sudan lose to Serbia 85-96.
Following the match, South Sudan’s coach expressed his anger over the free throw disparity of 6-31, stating, “I need an explanation. I’m very confused.”
Basketball Federation President Luol Deng said, “The huge difference in free throws (6-31) was intentional, and why are there no African referees at the Olympics? If the referees are not familiar with South Sudan’s playing style, what style should the World Championships or Olympics be? Is it only European basketball style? Can’t we play aggressively?”
