Korać
Cup 1976-77
(From 19-10-1976 to 5-04-1977)
| COMPETITION SYSTEM
·
27 teams (best qualified clubs in domestic leagues) playing
knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score
of both games decides the winner.
·
The twelve teams qualified after the knock-out rounds
enter a 1/4 Final stage, divided into four groups of three playing a round-robin.
The final standing is based on individual wins and defeats.
In case of a tie between two or more teams after this group
stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final standing:
1) one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average; 3)
individual wins and defeats.
·
The group winners after the 1/4 Final stage qualify for
a 1/2 Final knock-out round (X-pairings, home and away games).
·
The final is played at a predetermined venue. [Note: Alleging lack of sport and economic interest, the Spanish teams eligible to participate in Korać Cup this season (FC Barcelona and CB Estudiantes, as well as their substitutes CB Círculo Católico and CD Manresa) waived their right.] |

RESUMEN (SUMMARY) Por segundo año consecutivo, la Copa Korać se le escapó a un equipo italiano en una final disputada en su propio ambiente, y por segunda vez también el vencedor de este trofeo fue la Jugoplastika de Split. El ambiente entre los tifosi italianos estaba especialmente caldeado, por la decisión de última hora de la FIBA de prohibir al Alco alinear a su “oriundo” Rafaelli, a quien la Federación Italiana acepta como nacionalizado a todos los efectos pero al que el máximo organismo baloncestístico aún considera argentino. Esta decisión fue interpretada como una maniobra de Boris Stanković para favorecer al equipo yugoslavo, y el ambiente especialmente tenso de las gradas se trasladó a la pista, donde los jugadores transalpinos se emplearon con excesiva vehemencia, aunque los árbitros se encargaron de reprimir este ímpetu a base de personales.
La final en sí resultó sumamente igualada hasta el último minuto, cuando Jerkov, el héroe yugoslavo de la noche, decantó definitivamente la balanza a favor de la Jugoplastika, una vez que los boloñeses habían perdido por el desproporcionado peso de las personales a sus mejores elementos. Al final, después de haberse interrumpido varias veces el juego por la lluvia de objetos arrojados a la pista, llegó lo más lamentable, con agresión al árbitro principal Mainini y destrozos en el autocar de los yugoslavos. |

* Raffaelli, a naturalized Italian player born in Argentina―who was already cleared as a national player by the Italian Lega and became a regular starter in Alco during the whole season―, was originally selected for the 10-man squad in the final, but FIBA banned his participation just before this game, as his documents were still under investigation. |
