FIBAEurope.com met two coaches who
reached the U16 European Championship Women Quarter-Finals but are looking for
the future of basketball in their countries.
Evaristo Perez, head coach of Spain,
and France head coach Arnaud Guppillotte both agree on the starting point: nine
games in 11 tournament days is a strong experience for U16 players and, being a
coach, the challenge is to help them realize what happens during these days.
"The competitive level and
intensity of play is completely different from the games held in their
countries," confirms Perez.
