European Coaches Have Their Way With Words (Epic Press Conferences)

My love for European coaching antics is well documented on this channel. After you've seen them go on the sidelines here is a taste of how things go in the presser after the game has finished. A European coach has their A game on at all times.
Coaches in the video: Željko Obradović , , Dimitris Itoudis, Makis Giatras, Sarunas Jasikevicius , Andrea Trinchieri , Pablo Laso , Ettore Messina

Don't think that's possible. They would be fined, fired, dragged throughout media for "verbal abuse". All US would rise to spit on them, wouldn't stop talking about it for yrs. They behave the same toward athletes who play with passion, and give all on the court. Judging them every time they express emotions, start swearing, get angry at themselves, judge if it's unfair, stealing...none of that is allowed in modern world. Won't even start on judgment they get if they call on, thank God, express in any way they're religious. They expect people to be well paid, presentable robots, with no emotions, expressions, who need to watch every step not to offend others. You end up with "castrated" people, with killed drive for the game, fight. But it's not just US, it's slowly spreading everywhere. In few yrs sports will be so boring, annoying, unwatchable.

[@kirihara147]

it was desrespectful to ask that question tho. When he said that it might have been disrespectful to the other team, he implied that his assistant coaches and other staff can't do a proper job without him, so you are basically questioning their competence.

[@demetriskatsianis2396]

@@kirihara147 What Trinchieri did was definitely disrespectful. And his unacceptable reaction towards the absolutely rational question on whether it was disrespectful or not shows that even himself (Trinchieri) knew that what he did was disrespectful. I am from Greece. In the Greek league for decades we have had 2 powerhouses, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, competing against far weaker teams. There was a period of time when if one of those powerhouses didn't manage to win a game against those weaker teams by over 30 points, it was considered a failure. Nevertheless, under no circumstances did a head coach of Oly or PAO ever step aside and leave his assistant do the coaching. Trinchieri has serious issues...

[@ao394]

I will try to explain as simply as I can, why a European coach is not likely to coach an NBA team. Example : The team is on a fast break and a player stops to take a three pointer, while he can go easily make the lay-up. The coach calls for a timeout the moment the player stops at the three point line. The team comes to the bench and the player who made the shot is sent to the locker room and the next day is on the trading list for just a future second round draft pick. Note : If the above incident took place a few years earlier, the punishment would also include psychical and psychological abuse.
