Olimpija fell out of the title contention almost immediately, recording several losses in their first few games of the season while Crvena zvezda and Lokomotiva jumped to the top of the standings early on. Jugoplastika also kept pace with the standings leaders while Borac Čačak, finding success behind Radmilo Mišović's scoring exploits, and Radnički Belgrade became the early season's surprise packages. In week 4 of the season, Crvena zvezda and Jugoplastika played a hard-fought game in Belgrade's Hala sportova with Zvezda coming out on top 98–86. In addition to highly competitive basketball and Zoran Slavnić's exceptional performance, the game is also remembered for the bench-clearing brawl that occurred with four minutes to go in the contest after Jugoplastika's point guard Rato Tvrdić punched Zvezda's shooting guard Duci Simonović. Zadar vs Zvezda on Catholic Christmas 1971 On Saturday, 25 December 1971, as part of the season's week 8, KK Zadar and Crvena zvezda faced off at KK Zadar's Jazine home court—a tense and incident-filled contest remembered for the extremely hostile atmosphere with nationalist and sectarian overtones directed towards the visiting team by the home fans. Scheduled to be played on Catholic Christmas—a holiday not officially celebrated in communist SFR Yugoslavia—the game featured tensions even before tip off as the visiting Crvena zvezda players and personnel had to be given police escort from the moment of their arrival in Zadar. For the player introductions on the Jazine court prior to the game, the hosts decided to power off the arena lights with the only light in the arena provided from the thousands of candles distributed out to the gathered spectators. Following the tip off, Zadar fans began throwing the said candles onto the court, continuing to do so throughout the game while the referees—brothers Janko and Petar Kavčić from Ljubljana—didn't stop the contest out of fear of enraging the crowd even more. Among the verbal abuse hurled at Zvezda players were hate speech chants "Srbe na vrbe".https://sport.blic.rs/kosarka/domaca-kosarka-i-aba/simonovic-jos-1971-godine-u-zadru-su-nam-skandirali-srbe-na-vrbe/n1f6wzk Simonović: Još 1971. godine u Zadru su nam skandirali "Srbe na vrbe" https://web.archive.org/web/20160404081300/https://sport.blic.rs/kosarka/domaca-kosarka-i-aba/simonovic-jos-1971-godine-u-zadru-su-nam-skandirali-srbe-na-vrbe/n1f6wzk Tanjug Blic 7 May 2014 4 April 2016 7 May 2018 dead With five minutes to go in the close game, Zadar's best player and leading scorer Josip Gjergja twisted his ankle by stepping on one of the candles littering the court and had to leave the contest. Zvezda ended up winning 60–61. As soon as the game ended, Zvezda players were surrounded by police mid-court as the angry Zadar fans tried to physically accost the visiting team. Shortly, even the army had to be called in as re-enforcement in order to escort the visiting team out of the arena. In the chaos and confusion while the Zvezda players were surrounded by army recruits out on the court, a young female Zadar fan got in-between two of the soldiers guarding Zvezda players and stabbed Zvezda's shooting guard Ivan Sarjanović in the upper thigh with a compass.

Due to Crvena Zvezda and Jugoplastika being tied for the top spot with identical 17–5 records at the end of the season, the champion was decided in a one-game playoff between the two teams since, as stipulated by the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia regulations, points difference wasn't legitimate criteria to determine a league champion in case of a tie at the top. The regulations further stated that the deciding game's venue had to be neutral and mutually agreed upon between the two teams. Crvena Zvezda requested Sarajevo while Jugoplastika wanted Ljubljana.Dapčević Žarko http://kosmagazin.com/istorija-majstorica-za-zvezdinu-titulu-1972/ ISTORIJA: MAJSTORICA ZA ZVEZDINU TITULU 1972. Koš magazin blog 23 May 2016 18 September 2016 Due to the teams' inability to agree, the venue was decided by coin toss that was won by Jugoplastika. Accordingly, the game ended up being played in Ljubljana's Tivoli Hall on Thursday, 27 April 1972. In a close game (Jugoplastika was up by four 35–39 at halftime), Zvezda's playmaker Zoran Slavnić hit a shot within final thirty seconds for a 67–67 tie at the end of regulation. Zvezda ended up winning 75–70 largely behind Zoran Lazarević's 12 points, all of which he scored towards the end of regulation and in overtime. #ffffd0 20:30 27 April 1972 Tivoli Hall, Ljubljana Crvena Zvezda YUG 75 YUG Jugoplastika 70 OT 35–39 32–28 8–3 4,500 Boxscore Simonović 20 Šolman 18 Brumen (Ljubljana), Popovski (Titov Veles) yes yes yes #F20D2F PG 15 YUG Zoran Slavnić 17 SG 11 YUG Ljubodrag Simonović 20 SF 10 YUG Dragan Kapičić 8 PF 5 YUG Zoran Lazarević basketball player 12 C 12 YUG Dragiša Vučinić 15 yes yes yes PG 4 YUG Goran Rakočević 0 SF 6 YUG Ivan Sarjanović 6 C 7 YUG Božidar Pešić 0 SF 8 YUG Vladimir Cvetković 0 FC 9 YUG Zoran Latifić 0 FC 13 YUG Ljupče Žugić 0 C 14 YUG Tihomir Pavlović 0 YUG Bratislav Đorđević _3stripesonwhite _whitesidesandhems F20D2F F20D2F Crvena zvezda _thinblacksides _blacksides FFFF00 FFFF00 Jugoplastika 1971–72 Yugoslav First Basketball League ChampionsYUG 100pxCrvena zvezda12th title yes yes yes #F20D2F PG 10 YUG Ratomir Tvrdić 6 SG 8 YUG Branko Macura 7 SF 12 YUG Damir Šolman 18 PF 13 YUG Duje Krstulović 0 C 15 YUG Petar Skansi 15 yes yes yes PG 4 YUG Drago Peterka 6 C 6 YUG Mihajlo Manović 11 PF 7 YUG Ivo Škarić basketball 0 SF 9 YUG Zoran Grašo 0 C 11 YUG Lovre Tvrdić 0 C 14 YUG Zdenko Prug 0 YUG Branko Radović basketball Winning Roster The winning roster of Crvena Zvezda:http://nsl.kosarka.co.yu/History2.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20080702123851/http://nsl.kosarka.co.yu/History2.aspx dead 2 July 2008 Yugoslav basketball league standings 1945-91 nsl.kosarka.co.yu 7 January 2019Okupljaju se prvi osvajači "Politikinog" pehara https://www.politika.rs/sr/clanak/499703/Sport/Kosarka/Okupljaju-se-prvi-osvajaci-Politikinog-pehara politika.rs 29 April 2022 YUG Goran Rakočević YUG Zoran Lazarević YUG Ivan Sarjanović YUG Božidar Pešić YUG Vladimir Cvetković YUG Života Bogosavljević YUG Dragan Kapičić YUG Ljubodrag Simonović YUG Dragiša Vučinić YUG Zoran Latifić YUG Tihomir Pavlović YUG Zoran Slavnić YUG Risto Kubura YUG Ljupče Žugić YUG Bogosav Stefanović Coach: YUG Bratislav Đorđević Qualification in 1972-73 season European competitions FIBA European Champions Cup Crvena Zvezda (champions) FIBA Cup Winner's Cup Jugoplastika (Cup winners) FIBA Korać Cup Lokomotiva (3rd) Rabotnički (5th) Basketball Cup Bracket N16 yes high no Eightfinals Quarterfinals Semifinals Finals Kombinat Zrenjanin 77 Lokomotiva 81 Željezničar Sarajevo 64 Oriolik 68 Crvena zvezda 83 OKK Beograd 74 Radnički Belgrade 78 Partizan 70 Olimpija 88 Borac Čačak 83 Jugoplastika 79 Rabotnički 74 Kvarner 71 Borac Banja Luka 66 Akademik Titograd 56 Vrhnika 78 Lokomotiva 106 Oriolik 88 Crvena zvezda 93 Radnički Belgrade 75 Olimpija 90 Jugoplastika 102 Kvarner 94 Vrhnika 75 Lokomotiva 92 Crvena zvezda 89 Jugoplastika Kvarner Lokomotiva 88 Jugoplastika 81Flipping Book http://www.dlib.si/listalnik/URN_NBN_SI_doc-HHKTPOSD/5/index.html#zoom=z 2024-03-11 FlippingBookBnl viewer https://istorijskenovine.unilib.rs/view/index.html#panel:pp%7Cissue:UB_00064_19720224%7Cpage:9 2024-03-11 istorijskenovine.unilib.rsBnl viewer https://istorijskenovine.unilib.rs/view/index.html#panel:pp%7Cissue:UB_00064_19721023%7Cpage:9 2024-03-11 istorijskenovine.unilib.rs References Category:Yugoslav First Basketball League seasons Yugo Yugo
