A few weeks after the announcement, the termination of Sergio Hernandez of the National basketball team after two processes in which the 2019 world runner-up was reached as the highest achievement. That in terms of results, perhaps the best thing that Oveja generated is the replacement after a unique Golden Generation. Both teams shared Luis Scola, another who left the team.
Now comes the change of command, something that is not traumatic for basketball, since usually the one who arrives knows the cloth and maintains the same course as the previous one. In fact, whoever leaves can return as an assistant to another and so on, as happened with Oveja himself.
Scola and Prigioni (assistant) shared Selection in Tokyo.
The main candidates
One of those listed is Nestor Garcia, historic Argentine coach, 56-year-old globetrotter, who directed in the country, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Brazil, Dominican Republic and was champion with San Lorenzo in the last National League. In addition, he worked as an assistant in the Selection in the Pre-Olympic 2011 and main in the South American 2012. The Bahian is “free” to take charge, although the DT of the Selection fulfill part-time task to lead a club when it is not time for international action.
The other that the leadership likes is Pablo Prigioni, Cordovan of 44, base of the Golden Generation. Already as a coach he directed the Spanish Baskonia, he was Oveja’s assistant in the recent Games and also collaborates with the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA, a tournament with an extensive calendar that can overlap with any of the selected one. In fact, the NBA starts in October and the first commitment of the National Team is in November, with the initial window of the World Cup qualifier in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia 2023.
Che García took San Lorenzo champion in the last League.
Plan C is not to touch what was there and keep the assistants who had been working with Hernández, with Silvio Santander in front.
The idea of Fabián Borro, president of the CAB, is not to delay the announcement beyond next week.
