LBS will not object if a Euroleague club puts a bag of money in front of the Bank and invites them to conclude a contract. There is no shortage of great coaches in the world who successfully combine work in the club and the national team, Tsipruss emphasized.
“If Luka will have someone in the Euroleague right now [kluba] offer, we will only be happy about it,” Tsiprus said. “Obviously, it will be a bit complicated in the sense that maybe not in all [izlases] he will be able to participate in the windows, but at the moment we already understand that our focus is no longer the windows. Our focus is Olympic qualification and Eurobasket [Eiropas čempionāts].”
The Latvian national team is already guaranteed participation in the final tournament of the 2025 European Championship at home, but the qualification tournament for the Paris Olympic Games in the summer of 2024 is scheduled after the end of the club season.
It would even be bad for a coach to be unemployed for a long time in a club and work only in the national team,
emphasized Cyprus. If it is difficult for a player to immediately show his best performance on the field after a long break, the coach must also maintain the feeling of the game in order to know when, for example, to take a minute break, to replace a player or a tactic on the field. A coach must be in good shape all the time, Tsipruss explained.
“If he [Banki] there will be an offer, we will certainly support it and try to find solutions. The biggest job is not to manage the game, the biggest job has already been done by preparing the team, communicating throughout the year,” emphasized the general secretary of LBS. “The most difficult thing is always to create a team so that they run in the same step, in the same direction, in the same rhythm.”
When the bank receives a job offer from a club, LBS will try to find equally attractive solutions for both parties.
Choosing to sign a contract with Banki in the spring of 2021, LBS saw in him one of the most underrated coaches in Europe. At that time, LBS wanted to form a completely different national team, and a qualified coach was needed who could also be a team motivator and inspirer.
In addition, there were many restrictions in the choice at that time, because the coaches of the 24 member states of the European Championship final tournament were immediately rejected, and neither Spanish nor Euroleague club coaches were available, as they would not be able to work in the necessary volume, Tsiprus said. In addition
after the Latvian national team did not make it to the European Championship, the supporters did not line up to ensure the financial possibilities of the LBS trial in negotiations with outstanding coaches.
“Of course, at that time, taking [darbā] Luke, no one dreamed that we would immediately break through the death squads, take everything. We went step by step, helping to slowly introduce new breezes into the youth system,” said Tsiprus. “We understood that he would be the best, and financially, we would also love to have him. It just so happened that he is our big draw.”
CONTEXT:
The Latvian national team in its debut at the World Cup final tournament under the leadership of Lukas Banki won six victories in eight games and, contrary to initially modest forecasts, reached 5th place. In the games against the Latvian national team, such basketball powerhouses as France and Spain, as well as Lithuania and Banki’s native Italy remained among the losers.
