Head Coaches

STELMAHERS, ROBERTS

Ventspils

"This game didn’t carry any significant meaning for us. We should have won. The beginning was more hopeful; our victories gave us hope. Unfortunately the rebounds and fouls had taken their toll on us. And maybe the pressure on the team had been too big. Our defense was at a low level, the offense was a bit better, but in the end the result is what it is. There are three weeks of time off ahead, so we will try and schedule some training games and will have a lot of practice to look forward to."

FILIPOVSKI, SASO

Stelmet Zielona Gora

"We came to Ventspils to win a game and we did it. We played good offense and it tipped the score in our favour. The home team also showed a high level of competitiveness and there were some turnovers and rebounds we could have avoided. But of course the end result made us very happy. On a personal note, I would like to congratulate my good friend Roberts Stelmahers on doing a good job training the team, and to wish Mire Chatman all the best in his further endeavors."

Ventspils

"We hoped the game would be in our favor. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out as we wanted. We may have been slow in finding our rhythm, but we did the best we could. As this was my last game I wanted to help the team as much as I could and prove to be efficient. Before the game I thought about the past seasons and tried to recall the best moments of my career. My plans for the near future include spending as much time as possible with my family, and maybe getting back to teaching the kids in the summer school."

TROUTMAN, CHEVON

Stelmet Zielona Gora

"When we first came to Ventspils, we thought it would be a low-scoring game, but the home team put up a fight, and in the end we had to play with all our energy and give our maximum effort to win. It wasn’t easy, but we managed to achieve the desired result. "
