Germany head coach Gordon Herbert tried to grab Toronto Raptors' guard Dennis Schroder in a heated altercation during a time-out against Slovenia at the FIBA World Cup.
Dennis Schroder of Germany shoots a free throw during the FIBA Basketball World Cup second-round Group K game against Slovenia at Okinawa Arena on September 3, 2023, in Okinawa, Japan."Hey Coach, chill out," Schroder barked back.As they kept going back and forth, Schroder, who never sat down, ended up saying,"You’re not going to touch me like that.
"Basketball is an emotional sport," he told BasketNews. "It's a game of runs, and you got to stay cool. Me and Daniel go way back, I have known him since I was 12 or 13. We had those kinds of moments when we were young as well, but it always helped us to elevate our game.""That's what happened today. We got into it, and I told him, 'Listen, that's what you got to do, and you can tell me the same thing.
Herbert was also asked about the incident, and he answered with a joke:"I just think Daniel and Dennis were talking about their young days in Braunschweig." Herbert added that he subbed Schroder and Theis out of the game at that point. As for potential discipline, Herbert said the situation would be"handled internally."
