Koskosov is esentially an american livning there for so many years.I read somewhere that he even got american citizenship.I just mention it cause all the media are like the first euro coach to become an NBA headcoach.Technically this might be true,but his case is a bit special.No different than all those assistant coaches who after years of working in the NBA get a headcoach gig.It'd be different if they got a euro coach straight from europe,i dont see this happening anytime soon.

I hope that he'll end up somewhere with better conditions like Memphis.3rd, Euroleague IBN prediction game 2019
