The Reds are still looking for a coach

The Basket League enjoyed another very competitive weekend of action, with four teams pairing up their victories, but the news of the week has been the dismissal of Olympiakos coach David Blatt, with the Reds yet to find his replacement.

A couple of months after the announcement that Blatt is suffering from multiple sclerosis, Olympiakos announced the departure of the American coach in the wake of the 19-point loss at ASVEL for the Euroleague last week.

The Reds have since last spring quit the Basket League in protest against the league and the federation and have fielded a B side in the A2 division, while the financial problems the club is facing have forced it to avoid buying any top-shelf players this year, to the detriment of their Euroleague chances. This may explain the friction between Blatt and the club.

Possible successors named in the press are Xavi...
