Referees to wear microphones for TV in Thursday game

Euroleague Basketball has announced that, for the first time in a Euroleague regular season game, the referees will wear microphones for TV on Thursday's clash between Regal FC Barcelona and Cibona Zagreb in Group A.
The game will be shown live by local host broadcaster TV3, which serves the Catalonia region of Spain.
TV3 plans to continue offering its viewers selected sound bites of live comments by Euroleague referees throughout the season. Euroleague referees have already previously worn microphones and had both their live and recorded comments available for broadcasters at the last two editions of the Final Four, in 2008 in Madrid and in 2009 in Berlin.
