I'm really lost for words with this team. I mean we blew the Olympics because? The Hellenic Basketball Federation needs a mop up for certain. Some players have lost that pathos, that inspiration, that will to win!! I didn't see that against Nigeria, but a desperate team trying to hang on by the skin of their teeth.
I'm thinking we should follow suit and only allow under 23's to play henceforth in all Olympic games and pre-qualifiers. Win or lose something might come out of it. I like that hidden talent scenario, and they'll probably play with a heck of a lot more passion. This brings me back to the fact that the federation needs a total clean-up to rid the cob webs for this to actually occur though. We have more than enough talent for this type of scenario, so maybe a little risk will pay off in the long term.
Let the personalities play the major tournaments only!! Off topic, I'm also thinking FIBA EUROPE should cease any affiliation with FIBA period!! I won't mention all my reasons just yet, but one of them is that FIBA will completely destroy euro-ball if the NBA has it's way. FIBA Europe has the opportunity to split right now, and should take advantage of it. FIBA and the NBA are collaborating to make major changes which will affect not only euro-ball, but the cycle of Euro tournaments, to OUR disadvantage!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
