The players had bad personal relations, their egos led to this shameful end. My mistake was not throwing three or four of them off the team. They hate each other so much that they don't even look at each other. I've never seen such people before.

The players had bad personal relations, and that's what led to this shameful end. My mistake was not throwing five to six of them off the team. They don't even talk with each other, everyone only looks after his own interest. I've never seen such people before.

They let the whole country down. Their egoism was their downfall as this group of outstanding individuals failed to blend into a team and produce the top quality basketball they're capable of. The team chemistry was poor from the start of the preparation period and their long nights out until the early morning hours certainly didn't help.

We are talking about a special player, the one who would mean a lot to us. Anyhow, I wish him a lot of luck in his career.

I think we made a little mistake last year not throwing him in there sooner. He would have struggled a little bit, but when he did play, he was very good.

It's a frustrating rule but necessary to ensure players do not get injured in the scrum, which has led to referees and clubs being taken to court accused of negligence.
