The bill of the baskets does not work out

Telekom Baskets are at the end of a disappointing anniversary season. The originally aimed of the season was missed, which indicates an inadequate squad composition.

In today's basketball landscape, associations that act at a similar financial level must take risks to get an advantage. The balance between experienced players and rookies is often a delicate. It would be optimal to find a mix of young talents and experienced athletes. However, this approach did not seem to work at the Baskets in the current season, since the profit rate remains behind the expectations.

The individual performance of the players was consistently inadequate. While some outliers appeared in top shape, the necessary team performance often lacked the entire season. Sporadic good appearances are not sufficient in such a tight league and contribute to the disappointing overall balance.

The view after the season offers the opportunity to analyze the events in detail. The upcoming game will be a crucial moment to evaluate the chances of European participation. However, the focus should already be on dealing with the entire season in order to draw teaching for the future.

The role of the trainer proves to be just as crucial as the squad design. The challenge is to bring the full potential of the players to the field. Historical successes, such as that of the former coach Tuomas Iisalo, show that good team mentality can be crucial, even if this means to make fundamental changes in the squad again. This could be both a risky step and a chance for a fresh start.
