They try- their goal for the season was to be into the playoffs, at least in the playing.
They even had, they even had a coaching change from going from Ettore Messina to Giuseppe Poeta.
Uh, but one thing's, uh, remain true with both coaches, it's their offense was very good.
With Coach Poeta, they run some of the best sets in the entire competition, but their defense was absolutely terrible.
They really struggled to, to get stops in a row, and that's the big, for me, the biggest reason for, for their absence of the playing.
Uh, I think it's a little bit of coaching, more coaching than roster con- uh, construction, because they had some guys who are good to very good defenders on their roster.
... what balance do you make of Coach Poeta performance and potential expectations for his future as a EuroLeague coach?
Their offense was very good, very int- uh, interesting to study, to watch, and very, very fun, even for a, a guy that just wants to tune in into a EuroLeague game and watch some good basketball.
He needs to improve on the defensive side of the ball, even if it's with a new assistant coach who's better on that side.
