Fined Coach Turns Mime Artist

LEVSKI Sofia basketball coach Konstantin Papazov conducted a post-match interview in mime after the domestic federation fined him for his comments earlier in the week.

Papazov was fined 2,600 levs (US$1,788) for bringing the game into disrepute with his remarks following second-placed Levski's 73-70 win over high-flying Rilski Sportist in a highly-charged affair.

He responded by showing his skills as a mime artist, answering eight questions with a series of more and more animated gestures, and without saying a word.

"Well, I'm obliged to answer the reporters' questions and I think they understood everything I wanted to say," Papazov said. "So, I'm considering whether to continue in this way in the future. I don't think it's a bad idea."
