Lithuania vs Germany

During the match, Lithuanian star basketballer Valančiūnas drew Maodo Lo's foul and was rewarded with 2 free throws. Seconds later, Germany's head coach Gordon Herbert received a technical foul. According to FIBA rules, the free throw for the technical foul is supposed to be attempted before the two shots for the shooting foul. However, only the two free throws for the regular foul were taken, failing to award Lithuania with additional throw. As a result, Lithuania registered an official complaint with FIBA. On 8 September 2022, FIBA recognized the error of the referees in the match between Lithuania and Germany. The three referees of the Lithuania-Germany game was suspended by FIBA and will not participate in any other game this EuroBasket.^[4]^[5]^{[citation needed]}
