Evolution of the EHCB
The EuroLeague Head Coaches Board (EHCB) was founded as a non-profit sports association in February 2019 in Belgrade. The idea of creating a EuroLeague coaches association had been discussed among coaches for several years prior to its establishment.
In June 2018, during the EB Institute Annual Workshops Head Coaches Meeting held at the Euroleague Basketball offices in Barcelona, the decision was officially made to establish the EHCB.
At that meeting, attended by 14 EuroLeague coaches:
Željko Obradović was unanimously elected President
Pablo Laso was unanimously elected Vice President
Goran Sasic was elected Executive Director
On July 4, 2019, the EHCB held its first Assembly in Badalona, where two advisors were added to the management team: Cem Karamürsel and Jan Pommer.
Since then, the EHCB has continued to expand successfully and has become one of the strongest voices in the European basketball landscape.
