    Knicks game delayed when Maccabi coach won’t leave

    The exhibition game between the New York Knicks and Maccabi Tel Aviv was delayed for about 10 minutes in the third quarter Sunday when the visiting coach refused to leave the floor after being ejected.

    In a bizarre scene, a rabbi even came onto the court to ask the referees to let Pini Geshon remain. Geshon eventually left after a discussion with the officials, his assistant coaches and NBA security personnel.

    Geshon was hit with two quick technical fouls in the third quarter, the second coming on a play that went against the Knicks. New York’s Al Harrington was called for an offensive foul right in front of the Maccabi bench, and Geshon quickly started screaming at replacement referee Ben Taylor, who ejected him.

    When Geshon didn’t seem to be listening to any of the basketball officials, Rabbi Yitchak Dovid Grossman, founder and dean of Migdal Ohr, tried to get involved by talking to the referees. But rules say anyone who is ejected must leave the court, and eventually Geshon did.

    Migdal Ohr, the world’s largest orphanage, received the proceeds from the exhibition game between the Knicks and the Euroleague team from Israel.

    Someone should tell that idiot that he should save his rants for when the call goes AGAINST his team.
