NEW YORK (AP) -The president of Maccabi Tel Aviv has apologized to the NBA and the Knicks for its coach’s behavior during an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden.
Pini Gershon, the coach, also said he was sorry in letters that were sent Monday to league commissioner David Stern and Knicks president Donnie Walsh, and seen by The Associated Press.
Gershon received two technical fouls and was ejected from an Oct. 18 loss to the Knicks, but refused to leave the court, as rules specify. The game was delayed about eight minutes, with a rabbi coming on the floor to ask referees to let the coach stay, before Gershon finally agreed to leave.
