A report in Serbia came out a month ago that some players have sent a letter of complaint about Ivanovic's practices to the EuroLeague Players Association (ELPA). However, the organization's managing director has denied it.

"We haven't received any official reports regarding the coach/training. We often talk with the players but we have not received any official reports," he told Sasha Ozmo from SportKlub Srbija.

"You should know that the same practice rules apply for all Euroleague clubs, which we set because of a very long and tiring season," he continued. We are concerned about the health of the players and we want to enable the players to have as long and successful a career as possible."

Ivanovic is widely known for his sometimes extensive practices. When he arrived at the Serbian club, he famously held a really long practice - sometimes rumored to be even 6 hours long - to start his tenure.
