Sarunas Jasikevicius is getting used to his new role after announcing his retirement earlier this summer. Currently Saras is in charge of Zalgiris preparation for the upcoming season.
Head coach Gintaras Krapikas is with Lithuanian national team in Spain getting ready for the World Cup leaving Jasikevicius coach the team.
Saras himself told the media that this year will be a test to see if coaching fits him.
Leadership, wealth of knowledge gathered over illustrious career and understanding of the game are just a few things that Saras will try to descend to the team as a coach.
It’s a new experience for the players as well. Zalgiris guard Vytenis Lipkevicius admitted that sometimes during training sessions it feels as if Jasikevicius is about to step onto the court and start playing.
