I see. Though isn't it a coach's job to motivate the players? Alba did quite well in EL and that must have influenced players as you mentioned. But if you look at some of the top teams in Europe they would have even worse motivation in their domestic leagues. So on one hand Pavicevic took Alba to El Top 16 but on the other hand the team struggled in domestic playoffs and were knocked out in the semis. Does this result put any pressure on the coach?
