Israeli coach Blatt signs with Greek team after NBA comeback falls short
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleApparently abandoning his dream of returning to the NBA next year, American-Israeli basketball coach David Blatt has signed a two-year contract to skipper Greek team Olympiacos Piraeus, the Euroleague website announces.
Blatt has spent the last two years helming Darussafaka Istanbul, after being unceremoniously booted from the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 midway through their historic championship season. He still got a ring.
A reporter for Israel’s Army Radio notes that Blatt had been hoping to return to the NBA, but no team offered him a head coaching spot.
Blatt says he is happy to join the Greek team.
