“Training sessions 10 times harder”: Tuomas Iisalo, the “unique style” coach of Paris Basketball

All the teams he coaches turn into success machines. Whether at Tapiolan, in Finland, in Crailsheim and Bonn, in Germany, or at Paris Basketball, Tuomas Iisalo has always led his groups to the top of their championship. And in European Cups. This season, the capital club, which he took charge of during the summer, is in fourth place in the Betclic Elite. And this Thursday, they play the quarter-final of the Eurocup (in a dry match at the Adidas Arena at 8:45 p.m.) against the Spaniards of Badalone, a team that they have already beaten twice this year.

Always very elegant, in his perfectly fitted suit, the Finnish coach is the main key to this success. Inseparable from his little cards, which he holds in hand for the majority of the match – even during the All Star Game – Tuomas Iisalo knows his troops perfectly, and knows how to push them towards victory. Known to be very demanding, he managed to impose his style from the first months, helped by the six former Bonn players whom he brought with him to the capital.
