On 9 April 1983, Šibenka and Bosna played the deciding Game 3 of their playoff final series that was decided in the last second. With Bosna up by a point and the clock winding down Šibenka had the last possession, Bosna's Sabit Hadžić was controversially adjudged by the referee Ilija Matijević to have fouled Šibenka's Dražen Petrović as he went up for a shot at the buzzer. Since being in the act of shooting, Petrović got two free throws and proceeded to score both, winning the game and championship for his team. Next morning, the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia (KSJ) presidency reviewed the game on account the time expired prior to the foul being called and on account of refereeing irregularities. They decided to void the result, ordering a single-game title playoff at a neutral venue in Novi Sad. Šibenka decided to boycott the decision. Since Šibenka refused to show up for the Novi Sad game, the title was awarded to Bosna.
