Basketball team Maccabi Haifa signs Brad Greenberg to be new basketball coach for next two seasons



Israeli basketball team Maccabi Haifa has signed former NBA general manager Brad Greenberg to be its new basketball coach for the next two seasons.


As general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Greenberg drafted Allen Iverson with the No. 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft. He also had stints as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks.


He most recently coached at Radford University, where he resigned amid an investigation into recruiting violations. In February, the program was put on probation for two years and Greenberg was handed a sanction that almost preclude him from working as a college coach for five years.


Maccabi Haifa finished last in the league this season. Its owner, Jeffrey Rosen, called Monday's hiring "historic," saying Greenberg would "help restore Haifa's winning tradition."

Its also worth mention that Brad also has connection to venezuela (if we are already in a international forum).
He is their NT assitant coach and coach one of their teams before.

Maccabi Haifa also sign the last good israeli center (who is pretty old.35 years old) Ido kuzikaro.

Haifa also signed mexico NT PG Pol stull (27\1.80) and Donte smith swingman (28\2.01)
Smith played for his international carrer in a weaker level leagues than israel like: new zealand ,mexico, porto rico,austrlia venezuela and his only stop in europe: bulgaria. But in all of them he showed superior skills and won almost all the local champions in the league he was playing at...he also got alot personal achivments.

Stu Douglass is Jewish? Zack Rosen is a good smart playmaking point guard.
