Varese Basketball is going through a difficult time. After the recent home defeat against Cremona 75 to 68, the atmosphere became tense. Despite the absence of key players such as Librizzi and McDermott, the team failed to impose itself in the Lombard derby. The defensive performance was defined by coach Tom Bialaszewski as one of the best of the season, but it was not enough to obtain the victory: “A bad defeat I struggle to put words together, I can say that we played a strong defensive game but it wasn’t enough. We made a big effort in defense, usually this work should bring more rebounds but this didn’t happen. When we built something good we didn’t score.”
The coach, in his first year as Varese’s head coach after having been Ettore Messina’s assistant at Olimpia Milano, now finds himself in the eye of the storm. At the end of the match, the boos of the fans present in Masnago showed their dissatisfaction. Bialaszewski expressed his displeasure with the situation, promising to increase efforts to improve: “I’m certainly not happy, we are here to give our best, we will double our efforts.”
With Varese now just four points from the bottom two positions in the standings, the next match against Brindisi becomes crucial. The team must find a way to return to victory, or risk further aggravating the situation and calling Bialaszewski’s position into question. But it is the roster that does not seem suitable to reflect, unlike a year ago, Luis Scola’s creed, i.e. a pushed run&gun, which is also cutting center Cauley-Stein out of the game. Or the heaviest investment of the summer.
