I really don't understand your point... maybe you're joking...Originally Posted by Picek
And what happened that he reacted like this? I didn't see any interaction between those two before Mancinelli got crazy.Recalcati is hopeless...
Regarding Mancinelli... he should be suspended for some games i think. Even by FIP itself... but it's unlikely so he'll play against France as we need him.
Anyway it's the first time in his career i see a violent act by Stefano on court... he's used to be a good guy. Not the greatest IQ for sure but also not a dirty player or so... until yesterday at least.
Some canadian players played dirty all the game (ask Datome, who's another quiet guy but he was ready to fight after being hit in the head)... especially Domerkamp. Mancinelli after the game said the canadian tried to elbow him in that play... it's not so clear from the video footage but this is what he said.
Here's the 12-men roster for the game against France:
1. Amoroso Valerio (80, 204, A/C, Bancatercas Teramo)
2. Bargnani Andrea (85, 213, A/C, Toronto Raptors)
3. Belinelli Marco Stefano (86, 196, G, Toronto Raptors)
4. Cusin Marco (85, 211, C, Vanoli Soresina)
5. Datome Luigi Dal (87, 203, A, Lottomatica Roma)
6. Giachetti Jacopo (83, 192, Pm, Lottomatica Roma)
7. Gigli Angelo (83, 209, A/C, Lottomatica Roma)
8. Mancinelli Stefano (83, 203, A, AJ Milano)
9. Mordente Marco (79, 190, G, AJ Milano)
10. Poeta Giuseppe (85, 192, Pm, Bancatercas Teramo)
11. Soragna Matteo (75, 198, A, Angelico Biella)
12. Vitali Luca (86, 201, Pm, AJ Milano)
Crosariol is injured and was replaced bu Cusin while Hackett is out as well (probably because we don't need his difense since Parker won't play, and he's not in great shape)...
I don't agree with Recalcati about Aradori sent home... apart Belinelli, we don't have another perimeter player so talented among the guards and small forwards.
What was all that about? It was all over the news! I do enjoy a good punch up from time to time but it got a bit out of hand for a basketball game. Anyway dont forget people that the players are in the middle of the preparation and tempers are a bit short. Big deal out of nothing really, this happens all the time..even with players of the same team.

Damn you don't have center at all
UZEO SI TROFEJ MACVANE MACVANE MACVANE!!!
We lack a pure center since Dino Meneghin, yeah...
Seriously, Recalcati already stated we're going to play with Bargnani in the 5 position for almost all the time so it's not a big miss... Raptors will be happy, i think.
How about that kid that played for Italian youth national teams born in 1987 he's 217 cm tall. I know his stats weren't that impressive on those championships. But he is a big kid. Did he make any progress at all????

Gino Cuccarolo?!?
220cm wasted at this point...
Our big men situation is not that bright to be honest... the only center with some potential physically is Crosariol but his head is not always connected to say the least.
Cusin also is not bad athletically but lacks experience at this point (already 24 y old)... this year he'll play his first season as starter in the Legauno.
Among youngers we have few names... Renzi (1989) is good but probably is more a PF than a C. Eventually a finesse C...
We have some names born in 1991 or later but it's early to say where they can go...
In this context we are forced to put Bargnani as center, because he has at least the basketball talent... but we know he's not a center by any mean, height and size apart.
can we watch italy-france game on the ınternet?
There's the Raisport Più streaming but it should be only available for italian users...
Maybe the game on sat (Raisport Più is a free channel on sat too) isn't crypted who knows...
So.....who'll be the new coach?
2nd coming of Messina maybe?
Messina? A damn ACB rule should not allow that for coaches of the spanish teams... even if Spain NT itself has a part-time coach!!!So.....who'll be the new coach?
2nd coming of Messina maybe?
I think the main candidate is Pianigiani from MPS Siena (as part-time coach as well)... but there's also the chance our federation keeps Recalcati!!!
Italian American prospects
The last results of our NT are bad and Italy will miss the next world cup but we have a lot of talented players in NBA and in Europe. During the past year, several italo-american players have shown great talent in high-school competition and they are among the best 100 players in their year class in USA.
That's why I think that players like Brandon Cataldo, Ben Vozzola, Alex Rossi,
Chad Calcaterra and Mike Marciano could help Bargnani, Gallinari and Belinelli in the future.
Cataldo (6'10 270) is a very strong center and as I know Italy don't have any solid center actually. Calcaterra and Marciano are also 6'10 tall. While Vozzola and Rossi are both shooting-guards.
Never heard of them... who are they???
And are you sure they would opt for the italian NT? They feel more american than italian i believe...
Alex Rossi is one of the best high school player in Chicago. I know it because I read a lot about him when I was looking for news about Alex Dragicevich, who is also one of the best player in the area. Both will be high school senior next year and will play in NCAA next season.
Recalcati Italian NT coach no more
The three candidates to replace him: Paningiani, Sacripanti and Repesa.
They should take Paningiani IMO.
At last... Anyone is better than Recalcati at this point.
Die Liebe wird eine Krankheit, wenn man sie als eine Heilung sieht
Artificial Nature
Well, it's never too late... i'm happy Recalcati is not our coach anymore.
Regarding the three coach race, i'd go with Pianigiani because he has shown a system in Siena and we need a system for the NT. Moreover his situation resembles that of Ettore Messina when became the italian coach in 1993 (young coach rising)...
But also Sacripanti and Repesa are good choices. The first knows well the italian basketball since he's also the coach of the U20 NT (and won a bronze two years ago at Euros) and he's doing a nice job in Caserta... Repesa doesn't need presentation: he's a master at working with young players and we have a lot of that in our NT future...
Definitely an upgrade over Carlo Recalcati. But i could be an upgrade too...
