Head Coaches

ARNAUTOVIC, VLADIMIR
CSU Asesoft Ploiesti
"I want first of all to congratulate both teams for game tonight. My boys played very well in times of pressure, shot successfully from outside and were brave on defense in the last quarter. We really wanted this win, because to finish in third place behind the two great teams from Russia and Spain is not a small thing. "
WEISZ, ALAIN
SLUC Nancy
"I wanted to win this game, even though I knew that the dice were thrown on qualification. We met a good team that has done better in the construction phase and made less mistakes than us. Even in these circumstances, I want to congratulate my players because as we won by the final minutes the game against Pau-Orthez in the French championship and by a similar manner we lost this one. These are the same guys who worked hard since last summer to get here and I want next autumn to find us also in the Eurocup. "

"It was a great game from both teams. Nancy kept us constantly connected to the game, we had no moments to breath, but at the same time, we were able to maintain the same level of concentration throughout the game. We performed better on offense in the last minute. We pushed the opponents to make mistakes and we obtained a victory that we are proud of. "
ZIANVENI, MAXIME
SLUC Nancy
"I think it was a game that did honor to quality basketball. Both we and our opponents played the game to win, the ultimate difference was some tactical details. I am convinced that we can make it up in the French championship, where we want to continue the series of good results lately. As for the Eurocup, it was a beneficial experience from which we have to learn."
