According to Israeli media, Maccabi made an offer for David Blatt. Current head coach Zvika Sherf is likely to leave the team at the end of the season. Blatt, who has also been linked with Barcelona, has already worked at Maccabi as an assitant coach under Pini Gershon. David Blatt won Eurobasket 2007 with Russia national team.
If the agreement is not reached, another Israeli coach is mentioned as a potential candidate. Sharon Drucker who worked this season in Belgium could be the second on the list for the head coach position of the Yellows.
