Overview
- In the Dec. 29 Lega A game at PalaShark, Varese’s Taze Moore received a technical for an emphatic dunk celebration, and Trapani guard Alessandro Cappelletti pushed him and was ejected after video review.
- Executive and principal owner Luis Scola stepped in to calm tempers and was later reportedly struck from behind in the tunnel while heading toward the locker room.
- Local outlet Varese News suggested the attacker could have been a stadium worker, a detail that remains unconfirmed by authorities.
- Pallacanestro Varese said Scola suffered no physical consequences and described the episode as normal competitive tension, adding that attention has turned to training and the next match.
- The flashpoint came as Trapani Shark deals with a five-point deduction, registration restrictions and fines, while 15 clubs recently issued a joint note supporting Lega A president Maurizio Gherardini.
