Disciplinary Sanction for Panathinaikos AKTOR’s Head Coach Ergin Ataman

The renowned Panathinaikos AKTOR head coach, Ergin Ataman, facing a suspension, will be unable to participate on the sidelines during the opening week of the upcoming 2025-2026 Greek League season. This penalty stems from a disciplinary decision made by the Greek Basketball Federation’s Disciplinary Board.

The penalty was issued following Ataman’s controversial comments made after the finals series against Olympiakos, which concluded with Olympiakos winning the series 3-1. His remarks garnered significant attention and controversy within the basketball community.

The Controversial Comments Post-Finals

In his statement, Ataman addressed the atmosphere during the decisive games, specifically pointing out the presence of Greek flags waved by Olympiakos fans. He expressed his admiration for Greece but also questioned the team composition, implying a perceived discrepancy between the flags and the players’ nationalities.

“I love Greece. Today I saw a lot of Greek flags in the arena. Olympiakos fans came to the arena with Greek flags, but I wonder how many Greek players are on their team?”

Claims Regarding Greek Identity of Players

Ataman further elaborated on his perception, stating:

‘There is only one Greek player.’

He accused certain players of not being genuinely Greek, naming several team members: Walkup, Dorsey, Vezenkov, Mitrou-Long. He argued that despite the Greek flags, most players were not authentic Greeks, citing other Greek players on his own team as examples, including Sloukas, Mitoglou, Papapetrou, Kalaitzakis, Samadurov.

Expressing his perspective, Ataman said:

“Despite this, because I am Turkish, they come to the arena with Greek flags!”
