I think Pepu is the right coach for this NT and a great coache, but don't you think he has taken some bad decissions this year? He has made some mistakes in the rotations, as keeping Calderon in the bench in final's last quarter or starting against Israel with players who hadn't played last games.
But what worries me more have been some decissions about the defense. Against Croatia, he keep playing in zone, while the croats were crushing us with three point shots. Against Greece, we were pressing all the court while we were winning. Really he thought that Diamantidis or Spanoulis would lose the ball in the middle of the court again and again? He had done against Germany, and clearly was something he wanted to train in order to use it with Greece, but don't know what's the reasoning behind this.
First half's defense against Israel was awful, but probably this is more for players to blame.
Don't you think?
