Jean-Baptiste Lecrosnier, unsurprisingly, takes the victory of Caen Basket Calvados as a priority, this Friday January 9, 2026 in front of Challans (78-76). Even if the Caennais only led 24 seconds.
Jean-Baptiste Lecrosnier, coach of Caen BC: “It’s a hold-up at home. We take, obviously. The objective is to win. But it’s because we we’re going to play better and better that we’re going to win more and more.
Challans had a very good match. Our start is very difficult. We stuck with it, with our mistakes, in that match. Above all, we continued to fight to get back into the match. This is what I remember. The state of mind is what I was waiting for guys to prioritize. I felt the guys were concerned, I have confirmation of that this evening. The first quarter was perhaps linked to doubt. I also made choices, we started with brand new things. I also have my share of responsibility. These are assumed choices. It’s not about snapping your fingers to get better. We felt the team was timid. It was hesitant.
“Everything is new offensively”
Everything is new offensively. Defensively, we started off on a very organized basis. It’s a team that has worked, it shows. In offensive choices, I had decided to start from the start with something completely different. Were the players a little lost? Certainly. But at the start, we lost balls which gave Challans quick play. They play a lot of fast play. They are excellent in the first half on free throws. They have did what they had to do very well. It’s our start that questions me.
I congratulate my players for winning. I am very happy they did what they did to win this match. That’s what I remember above all. I want to thank the room and the public. It’s magnificent. We have to take the energy that this room sends us. We have to feed on it. We are lucky to be able to perform in front of such an audience and in such a room. The room must make us better. The public expects constant commitment. During the match, I had no doubts. We have five more days and we will go to Châlon-Reims which is having a very good season. We need to keep printing things. »
