    Default Lithuanian coaches

    Here is another interesting topic in my opinion that has been neglected on this part of the forum so far.
    If anything,this is as much exciting as player's market,somehow,maybe not in numbers...
    Starting from the top
    OUT
    Kazlauskas - CSKA, Russian champions (man)
    Paulauskas - UMGA ?,Russian champions (woman)
    Reason - both of them did not win Euroleague
    Sireika -Siauliai
    Adomaitis - some Polish team,but named coach of the year by the polish league,it seems it was his decision
    Pacesas - Sopot,no money i supose
    D Kairys -not extended for the bottom Ukrainian team
    Chomicius - very dodgy exit,Triumf

    STAYS
    Kurtinaitis - signed for another 2? years with Chimki
    IN
    Grigas - Nt coach of Belarus woman team for the period of qualifiers

    I hope someone with specific detailing can contribute to this thread ,like Sagenas used to be,but anyhow,feel free to keep it alive

    Wrong. In the middle of last season Chomičius left Triumph for Dnipro (Ukraine). He will stay there for next season as well.

    Okay, we can add more coaches to the list.

    Krapikas and Mikalauskas are working as assistant coaches in Azovmaš. The latter is athletic coach.

    CSKA had (have?) one more Lithuanian - Evaldas Kandratavičius (atheltic coach).

    Linartas replaced Adomaitis in Czarni Energia.

    Butautas stays in VEF Riga (there one more assistant...his name should be Vidmantas Šlapokas but I don't know about him).

    There are coach assistant in Poland - Audrius Prakuraitis (Trefl).

    Head coaches of Russian youth and second division teams:
    Ramūnas Cvirka (Chimki), Romualdas Petronis (Nizhnyj Novgorod)
    Brazys (Mordovia, 2nd men div.) and Radvila (Spartak, 2nd men div.).

    Head coach of Georgian Sokhumi - Samulėnas.

    That's all I remember about coaches working abroad.

    Here's my list of the current top Lithuanian coaches:
    1. Kazlauskas - excellent coach, great tactics.
    2. Kurtinaitis - solid performances with Khimki. Strict, expects a lot from his players, works well with talents. Would be a good replacement for the head coach position of Lithuanian NT.
    3. Kemzura - despite EB 2011's 5th place, I still think he's a pretty good coach. He used his youngsters well in 2010.

    It is like stating that man has a penis and two balls.Penis being unquestionably the main part .One of the balls being a bit bigger,but luckily the smaller one being able to replace other just the same.Bravo
