BASKETBALL Refs are crap and rusty -says Nam Blazers captain Paul Odongo
Two technical fouls were called against both teams, and Blazers' captain Odongo felt the referees on the night made life hard for his side.
In his post-game interview after the loss, the small forward did not mince his words, blaming referees for the team's overtime defeat.
"The refs were crap. The refs were crap. We all saw that," Odongo said in the aftermath of a tightly contested affair at Lugogo.
The suspension means that Odongo will miss his side's next two games, against his former side Dmark Power and eight-time champions City Oilers.
The Blazers are 2-1 so far this season, the loss to UCU Canons sandwiched by wins over JKL Dolphins and KCCA Panthers.
Odongo is one of four National Basketball League players to get sanctioned by the federation.
