Zalgiris Kaunas 2010/2011

[TalkBasket]

Yet another piece of evidence that the coaches of Zalgiris must follow player rotation that is decided before the game by Romanov. If some people had any doubt whether this was real or not then this should clear all of the doubts.



These are the screenshots taken from the TV show "Krepšinio pasaulyje". Zouros and his assistant coach visited Romanov's office just after he arrived in Kaunas. "Krepšinio pasaulyje" attended the meeting and recorded it. Here's the most interesting part:







In this image you can see Rimantas Grigas (Sports Director) who, according to Romanov, is nearly genius, writing something on the board while Zouros talks to Romanov at the table next to Grigas. Interestingly Grigas is writing something in four columns. Just like there are four quarters in the game. Let's take a closer look.







In this picture you can clearly see either the first letter of player's name or surname and a number next to it. In every case the number is not higher than 5. Just as none of the players in Zalgiris play more than 5 minutes in one quarter.



For example you can clearly see the following: C 2, De 4, P 2, OM 2 etc. That means Collins 2, Delininkaitis 4, Pocius 2, Omar [Samhan] 2 etc.



What I think will happen eventually is Romanov will get bored with his toy (Zalgiris) just as he let Hearts' coaches do their job and results came naturally. But until that happens we will have to see this unbelievable absurd.
