Panathinaikos welcomes Tessa to Rick Pittino's long-awaited return to the bench after 1.5's inactivity. The greens decided to end their co-operation with Chave Pasqual and in a move that looks far from bearing the stamp of their unpredictable owner they hired Pittino, one of the few coaches introduced to the Hall of Fame. The American coach spent most of his career in college teams working with children against whom he is known to have had a similar behavior to that of a sergeant when he welcomed the recruits at 1980 in an outpost of Evros.
But this authoritarian rule that governed Pittino was a bad consultant when asked to train male teams and one of the reasons that failed the big Boston Celtics. Now is invited to 66's years to learn in just a few days what European basketball is and to face one of the Euroleague monsters, Tzka. But Pittino's biggest problem is that he has to separate the philosophy that has been following him for years and is based on pressure throughout the stadium and the long shot, as the existing green roster does not even push but can have the worst percentage from the three-pointer throughout the event.
Itudes, who was supposed to be the aftermath after Obradovic but did not trust the management of the green team, has made an impressive Tzka aggressive but he goes to the back and that's why he is in 3's position with 3 defeats. It is also a big part that the star of the team, De Colo, does not remind the last basketball machine that no one could stop her contact with the bitch. For one more year, however, the Russians have the most complete roster and will sooner or later climb to the top positions in the ranking.
The evening of basketball players across Europe and America's basketball mornings are definitely devoted to the OAKK showdown and everyone is eager for the Pittino debut, but I think it's the one who will smile at the end and manage to win over a difference of 3 points.
