(sid). In his serious sporting crisis, the former champion and cup winner EWE Baskets Oldenburg from the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) is still behind coach Mladen Drijencic. “He has more than earned this trust and can count on our full support,” emphasized managing director Hermann Schüller. Last weekend Oldenburg had against the Gießen 46ers with 72:
75 lost.
With only two wins from nine games, the Oldenburg team are bottom of the table after a quarter of the main round. “The playoffs are still the declared goal,” said Schüller. The way is, however, very long, in eighth place, which still entitles you to participate in the championship round, is currently Brose Bamberg (10: 8 points).
“It’s very unsatisfactory that we still haven’t achieved the turnaround,” said Schüller, “but we’d all make it too easy for ourselves to dump the blame on the coach. He has taken us to finals three times in six years. Sometimes I have the feeling that something like that is easily forgotten. “
Mladen Drijencic celebrated winning the cup with the EWE Baskets in 2015 just a few weeks after taking office. In 2017 Oldenburg became runner-up, in 2020 the club failed in the final of the BBL Cup.
