Utah hire a new assistant coach
- Thread starter stitches
- Start date
Switching defenses. Interesting. I wonder if it's a specialty of his, because that will be all the rage in the NBA the next several years on both ends - both switching on D and beating switching defenses.
He actually looks quite a bit like @Archie Moses
In fact, I think maybe next season Archie should do what this guy did pretending to be Klay:

I was about to post the same thing. Hey, if Boston can do it to us with Stevens/Hayward, let's do it to the Bucks!
Good hire. Quin is the master of screens; the "other Coach K" is apparently a master of switching defenses. And it replaces a line to Euro players that Utah lost with Igor leaving. Utah certainly has a rep now of giving opportunities to international coaches - and players.

Perhaps a hint they won't be drafting Okobo, too small to switch.

My only thought is Utah already promoted Lang to front of bench.
So does this mean Coach F..K, a greek, is now positioned behind all the others? These jokes just write themselves!

I've been visiting this forum for 6-7 years but never really decided to post anything. I remember guys like Inigo_Montoya who didnt like the trey burke pick, pickIBL who watches a lot of euroball and overestimates euro players etc etc
I've decided to post for the first time because coach Katsikaris is the first Greek coach to ever get hired in the NBA. He is a top 3(if not the best) Greek coach currently, and a well-respected coach across europe, although not in top 10.
He is respected in ABC(best league outside NBA - not counting Euroleague cuz it's kind of international competition) and has a lot of experience. He speaks greek(obviously), spanish and english.
As for the national team, he didnt win any medals but did manage to get us to the 5 place of the 2015 eurobasket, which is our best achievement in this decade. He had a roster full of worn down players, average players, and giannis who wasnt as good as he is now.
Katsikaris is viewed as a versatile coach, good at both ends of the floor, far more offensive-minded than other greek coaches(who tend to care A LOT about defense). Not saying he doesnt care about defense, just saying he doesnt produce unwatchable games like the rest of our coaches.
It was a good hire by coach Snyder, considering his love for Euroball. Hope he does well
And no, dont start any ''trade for giannis'' rumours
Sorry for my english, not a native speaker
Doesn’t seem to be there. What was it?
