L’Halley Campania Avellino Basket is preparing for its upcoming debut in the Serie A2 basketball championship, turning the spotlight onto its technical staff ahead of the season opener. Ahead of Sunday’s fixture at 18:00 local time against Elachem Vigevano, head coach Di Carlo handed media duties over to his assistant coaches, who have guided the team’s preparations over recent weeks.
Match Preview and Opponent Analysis
Formato expressed strong confidence in the Biancoverde squad, highlighting an upbeat camp and a high-intensity tactical identity designed for open-court play and high possessions. The club’s recent roster addition, Owens, fits directly into this up-tempo system, though Formato added that the player will likely need two or three matches to fully integrate into the team’s tactical schemes.
Tactical Shift and Roster Ambitions
First assistant coach Achille Polonara addressed his transition from the floor to the bench, describing the shift toward daily tactical preparation as a brand-new chapter in his basketball career. Polonara emphasized that the coaching staff is heavily focused on instilling a winning mentality across an experienced, high-quality roster. According to Polonara, the current Avellino group possesses all the necessary qualities to contend for a top-four finish in the league standings.
Second assistant coach Antonio Curcio provided an update on Owens, noting that the newcomer joined the group only days before the opener. Curcio pointed out that Owens brings a profile capable of altering the team’s overarching tactical approach, with the coaching staff’s primary goal being to push the player toward peak physical condition as quickly as possible.
Next Steps
Avellino Basket will face Elachem Vigevano on Sunday at 18:00 local time in its opening home fixture of the Serie A2 campaign.
