I've read an rumor that Zalgiris is interested in bringing Loren Woods back. I don't know if the rumor is true. Maybe some of you guys know more about this?

I think it's false rumours. And even there was the slightest interest in Woods, it will fade away once Zalgiris ends the first round of Top 16 with 0-3 record because there will be no point in bringing one more player, especially foreigner.
I saw comments of Greek fans after yesterday's game against Olympiacos. Even they were surprised to see 12 players playing for Zalgiris in the first quarter. The rest has been said in my and other members' posts above.
Sportalas.com quoted Greek media which said that Sabonis told to Romanov during the game: "My biggest mistake was that I handed the team to you". Romanov wasn't sitting next to Sabas in the second half and Zouros either was actually allowed to make his own decisions or he decided not to obey Romanov's orders and we saw a different game in the second half.
I always complained about Zalgiris not getting a good coach for a decade. Now they did but he's not allowed to coach. It's so annoying to see a good team and a good coach playing terribly because of one man's "wooden head" (that's Romanov's expression btw.).
Now when the hopes of advancing to the next round have nearly vanished maybe Zouros will be allowed to do his job at least in Euroleague.
It was fun to hear the crowd boo Collins when he was sent to the court and everyone clapped when he was sent to the bench. Finally the fans lost their patience and clearly showed that.
Here's hope that better times are coming.
