Holy shit what? Dimitris is officially the craziest owner/president we've ever had in euroball and that's saying a lot.

I get that Euroleague ball is a "what have you done for me lately" game, but firing Pascual and replacing him with Pitino who has never coached in Europe and hasn't fared well in professional basketball is a pretty risky hire.

Hope this is just a r umor. Pascual is a fine coach. It's our owner who sucks at managing a club and is more of a child than a leader. We had a horrible transfer pseudonyms got rid of many very good very useful players that the team really did depend on. even the non essential players like Denmon and Gabriel are missed this year. James being allowed to go to Milano was so incredibly stupid as he brought the team up a level when he rejoined last sesson.

Also what the he'll does Rick Patino know about European basketball or working in grrece? Terrible for he'll be gone by April.
