Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul's head coach, Dusan Alimpijevic, made a gesture toward the opponent coach in a game recently. The Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF) punished the specialist for it.

Alimpijevic went viral online after a video of him grabbing his crotch and gesturing toward Bursaspor Info Yatirim's head coach, Serhan Kavut, during the game between the teams on January 27th.

Bursaspor, who Alimpijevic coached before transferring to Besiktas last offseason, wanted to take legal action against the specialist. The TBF investigated the matter and suspended Alimpijevic for one game. Additionally, he was fined 165,000 Turkish lira (~5,000 euros).

Besiktas received a 120,000 Turkish lira (~3600 euros) fine for their spectators' chants during the game.

Alimpijevic's gesture:

Alimpijevic has a fierce history with Bursaspor. Namely, the local supporters threw fake money at the coach during his first game against his former club earlier in the season, with multiple banners against Alimpijevic claiming he was a sellout.
