Galatasaray coach Ergin Ataman left no doubt of his views on Smith’s behaviour after the game.
@bie_basketball Nolan was angry to be taken out therefore he threw a towel towards Ataman.

@bie_basketball Ataman said after the game ' Nolan behaves irresponsibly. I think we'll have to find a new player to replace him'

@bie_basketball Nolan will train with junior team of Galatasaray until a decision is made about him.

Smith, formerly of Duke, joined Galatasaray from Cedevita Zagreb in the off-season. It looks like his stay in the TBL may be brief.
