EuroLeague Head Coaches Board vice-president Giannis Sfairopoulos is present in Kaunas and together with executive director Goran Sasic they presented the EHCB Coaches Congress which will be held for the second straight year in Antalya, Turkey, inviting everyone involved in basketball to participate.
This year the meetings between the EuroLeague and the EuroCup coaches with the referees will be held in Antalya and not in Barcelona for the first time, a move which was hailed as a sign of respect by coach Sfairopoulos: "We started our board four years ago under then-president Zeljko Obradovic and vice-president Pablo Laso because we wanted our voice to be heard. We believe that this is the case now with our cooperation with CEO Marshall Glickman and President Dejan Bodiroga".
"In Antalya, we will have not only nine on-court masterclasses but also three panels which will include a discussion with EuroLeague management, EuroLeague referees, and our members, plus a EuroLeague official giving his own masterclass for the first time and teaching about officiating", added Mr. Sasic explaining that "we adapted our schedule according to the feedback we got from last year's participants and this is also a great opportunity for family vacations for all who will travel to join the Congress".
