Melih Mahmutoglu, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul's captain, had positive remarks to say about the team's new head coach, Sarunas Jasikevicius, and also some comments that could be negatively interpreted about Dimitris Itoudis.

"Everybody saw today that the players who played had fun," Mahmutoglu said after Fenerbahce's blowout victory against Turk Telekom with a score of 99-71. "Perhaps we lost sight of this," he continued ominously in the after-game press conference.

"Today, especially with Saras, we had fun on the court," stated the Fenerbahce captain.

Dimitris Itoudis was sacked last week after disappointing results in the EuroLeague and a loss to archrival Anadolu Efes Istanbul in the domestic league.

Under Saras, Fenerbahce is 2-0 after downing AS Monaco in the EuroLeague and Turk Telekom in the Turkish Basketball Super League.
