Added to this is […]

Gershon: “Jasikevicius is key for Panathinaikos”; “Who can stop McCalebb?”

Over at Greece-based Eurohoops.net, yesterday was posted a nice interview with already-legendary former head coach Pini Gershon.

And the nominees in the category of “Best Euroleague Coach” are…

Over at the Lithuanian Perspective, BallinEurope typically contributes to a weekly column entitled “The Wise Men Know” (hey, BiE didn’t choose the moniker).
