In detail what he said:

For coaching: “I wasn’t thinking about coaching when I was playing basketball. I’ve always worked well with my coaches and teammates, thinking of ways we could do things to be better. Basketball runs in my blood, it expresses me and makes me happy. Feeling blessed”.

For his presence at the Peristeri bwin counter in the last two years: “Last year was a historic year. This year we built the team from scratch, we had no other choice. It wasn’t easy at all. But it was creative. The children had the mood, the motivation and the hard work. I can say that we are now at the peak of our performance. The issue is what vision do you have and what limits do you set for yourself for what you want to achieve. My desire to create something is great, I can withstand difficult times that are logical to come at some point.

We are currently reaping the fruits of our hard work. There are children who have made the step up. I am demanding, it takes time for children to understand what I want. Last year and this year even more the players have consolidated my philosophy. If the players are not ready to receive the information, nothing will work. We were patient until the team tied. Chemistry is above all. The turning point, especially in Europe, was when we beat Karsijaka.”

For the Greek National Team: “I never do something if I don’t think I can do it well. The national team is a huge motivation, we all have a duty to contribute to bring basketball up at the national level. I believe that the National Team is a team that has size and a high IQ. We have experience, we want to combine it with fresh blood. They are a team that will play defense and run the open field. To take the best from the players, combine it and find the right fives to bring the result we want. The world wants to see a national team that will give its soul”

For the possibility of the “eternals” qualifying for the Final Four: “I wish, it would be a dream come true to see two Greek teams in the Final Four! I wish we could see it after so many years.”
