PAO also proposed a change in the "coach challenge" rule and stressed that EuroLeague president, Dejan Bodiroga, will travel to Athens in the next few days in order to discuss "many important issues related to the product and what is happening in the organization."

Those issues need to be addressed immediately, according to Panathinaikos' unofficial info.

According to Walla Sport's Arale Weisberg, the former Panathinaikos and EuroLeague legend is indeed expected to Athens this week.
