Hashemi: My meeting with the referee had no output / I am informed about the news through the media

According to IRNA, Mostafa Hashemi, referring to the changes in the basketball complex, added: “When a federation enters the election stage and its helm changes, other changes are not far-fetched, and I give the president of the basketball federation the right to Choose your target and invite for cooperation.

He continued: “I have not been talked to so far and I am also informed about some issues through the media.” Of course, I had a meeting with the arbitrators, but in this meeting, the expert points of view of both sides were discussed and there was no clear outcome. I am also waiting to see how things will go. However, we have to accept that beliefs are different for the selection of individuals and partners, and the basketball community is waiting to come to a conclusion.

The head coach of the national basketball team emphasized: the issue of strengthening has been raised, but it remains to be seen how this process will proceed. We were following a path that is well-known, and in my opinion, as a person who has been in basketball for many years, it was the right one. We injected young players into the national team, which was important for the future of basketball, but I have to leave the judgment to the people and the audience, because they will make the best judgment.

Regarding the basketball premier league, Hashemi said: “Regarding the league situation and the way it is held, I must say that due to coronary restrictions, the games were held centrally in Tehran.” The absence of the fans had practically taken the excitement out of basketball, but when they returned to the hall in the semi-finals and finals, we saw the excitement in the hall, which affects the work process of the athletes.
