It was expected after Jokić and company refused to play and so many misterious injuries. Kokoškov shows nothing as couch of this team.

 

Congrats to Italy. Thats it

Before the tournament, I expected Brazil to lose at some point, but after reaching the final and against Germany, among all teams, I suddenly had big hopes for Brazil qualifying. It looks like I shouldn't keep my hopes up when it comes to Brazilian basketball.

So, Slovenia, Germany and Italy are in. Last free spot in team sport for Tokyo will be decided between Czech Republic and Greece. I bet that Greece will qualify.

 

Btw. I'm sad about loss of Polish team yesterday against , especially that our guys played very good first half  Now we will wait about 20 years or more for another huge chance to qualify to basketball olympic tournament....

It’s a really good thing  got a free quota in women’s 3x3 from the diversity tournament, it is the only way such a minor basketball nation could ever qualify.

Kokoškov was also the first European to become a head coach in the NBA, but that didn't last long. I'm quite sure he's one of the highest paid coaches here, considering his reputation.
