Maccabi Tel Aviv coach refuses to leave after getting second technical

[additional-authors]
October 20, 2009

This game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the New York Knicks was a benefit for Migdal Ohr, the largest orphanage in the world. But it looks like Maccabi Coach Pini Gershon was the one who needed some charity. He got tossed in the third quarter for getting his second technical but refused to leave. The refs needed to get the rabbi who spoke at halftime to push Gershon off the court and the tunnel.

I think Maccabi is playing the Clippers at Staples Center tonight. I hope it’s as entertaining.
