The first two have already led the team, we are now given the chance Sergei Valer’yanovich. We must support the new coach all the resources, it is possible to build a good team. In the near future will be discussed as possible, the coaching staff and other issues concerning his contract, the details of which we will not tell.

There were no question about former mentor Russian men’s team David Blatt , the possibility of cooperation with which the interest of all, without exception, participants in the discussion.
«Our relationship with David – special, I perceive it as a relative. And in some matters I certainly will use his advice.

The journalists were talking about a separate project Andrei Kirilenko -” School 2.0 “, which is aimed at the development of school sports, basketball and promotion of healthy lifestyles among Russian schoolchildren.
«Unfortunately, I do not have the statistics with me, but the audience of this project is really growing. I am glad that the “School 2.0″ start, I planned it even before he became president of the RSE. Our reality is that the teacher of physical training do not always know all the details of this particular game because it used to be boxers, runners or other athletes. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, but this is the reality. With this project, any teacher can download the app on your smartphone and fully conduct a lesson in the game of basketball. RSE recommends! »
At the end of one of the journalists asked the ex-player,” Utah “,” Minnesota “and” Brooklyn “if he remembered that the day before yesterday was a memorable day – exactly 19 years ago, Kirilenko made his debut in professional basketball. Of course, not without congratulating Andrew.
