Frank Vitucci frames Treviso’s turning point in season
The balance of the season for Frank Vitucci
During an interview at the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", Frank Vitucci, among the various topics covered, wanted to take stock of his first season at the helm of Nutribullet Treviso, which è was characterized by a decidedly negative first half. In the second part, then, the Venetian team è managed to recover even reaching outside the salvation zone.
"The start, with all those defeats, created frustration and tension inside and outside the club and locker room. The team has quality but could not have continuity within the same game. Then with two market adjustments (Robinson and Olisevicius) we found our balance even though we were suspended for a long time in the last positions" began the coach of Nutribullet Treviso.
"The turning point è came with the comeback victory from -20 against Reggio. These 4 wins in a row are the result of the growth of our most important players like Harrison and Bowman and the maturation of Paulicap, a long vertical who needed his time to hold his own against so many centers in the league. Behind comes the hinge of Italians: Zanelli, Mezzanotte and Faggian are functional changes who always make a contribution. The fact that we are close to a salvation let's say today quiet – but we have to make at least one more win to feel safe – è a step forward compared to last year when Treviso was saved on the penultimate day” continued the former Happy Casa Brindisi coach.
"I will preface this by saying that I would also like to coach stars and a championship team. Let's say I like to be where I feel appreciated and where I can work on players who have room for improvement. I did it with John Brown, Darius Thompson, Nick Perkins, all players who were in their first experience in Europe" added the Venice native.
"I like college basketball, I have always followed it and something I put in my teams along with, of course, the ever-present teachings of Paron Zorzi, from whom I learned and absorbed so much. Tonino è was an innovator of the game 40 years ago, one who saw ahead and had great teaching. With this Treviso I try to follow in his footsteps. My expectation è that for next year this team can raise the level of goals and individual quality” concluded Frank Vitucci.
