June 1, 2016, Shortly after climbing to the Premier League Final Four after a fascinating series against Hapoel Tel Aviv, Uri Alon, then owner of Hapoel Jerusalem, then head coach Danny Franco, came to his office the next day to talk about extending his contract With four days remaining in the Final Four, Franco preferred to postpone negotiations for the season.

On June 9, a senior club executive told me: "Even if we lose tonight to Rishon LeZion, Franco will continue." After a perfect half by Tony Gaffney came a tremendous second half in which Shaun Dawsen scored five threes and led the Orange to winning the championship and the Jerusalem leaders sent a recalculation of the coach's position. After two weeks, it was decided that Simona Pianijiani would replace Franco, who went on a chill year at the studios, and after that survived two years at Drive In, before moving to Nahariya this summer.

"Ketch probably learned from Franco and signed in March last year to extend his contract. If he was waiting like Franco, the failure in Europe and the Final Four in the league would have taken him out of the arena this summer," says a senior coach in the industry.

2 Will Franco close his account tonight? The Cup final is already a kind of account closure for his critics. This is the third coach besides Ketch and Finney Gershon who win a championship and a trophy outside of the Maccabi Tel Aviv, and since 2014 every season Franco comes with his teams for the last four in the league or the Cup.

In the Walla, an article was published about a month and a half ago that Franco likes to "recycle". That is, he usually chooses foreigners who have played here or played in Israel, more precisely 31 foreigners since 2006. But Damon Simpson's "recycling", for example, catapulted Nahariya into a new path, and since joining has won four of its five games .

"People don't understand how hard it is to bring strangers here. Especially for groups that don't play in the top European factories and another place like Nahariya that is not TA or Jerusalem," Franco explained recently, but there is good chemistry in the "recycling group." Dominic Waters and Jarl McNeill They had already collaborated with Aris Thessaloniki (along with Jake Cohen) in 2016, and it was probably a pleasure to see McNeill jumping to the aid of his friend, played by Tal Dan in the semifinals.

3 And if we are in "recycling", what will you say about the team from the capital that most of its signature stars have provided after a league season: Jacob Brown in Gilboa, Suleiman Braimo in Eilat and Tashon Thomas in Holon.

Thomas the locomotive can win the third consecutive Cup tonight (the former co-starred with Glen Rice). The face player has been a great fit in the last month and a half as he scores 17 points and blocks 1.6 per game.

4 Even on a clear day and after McNeill received a pardon from the Disciplinary Committee, it is difficult to see how the trophy comes to the night's attention. Nahariya's township seems to feel that she has already done the factory for the first qualifying event in her history.

At least 7,000 reds are expected to fulfill Yad Eliyahu's offerings this evening, when the tickets Nahariya took for sale to her fans online were also hijacked by the Jerusalemites. Ketch's team is deeper (Nahariya without Warrick's 8-player rotation) and is practiced in two games a week. In all its losses this season, Jerusalem has scored over 89 points, a big doubt if Nahariya will reach it a second time that week.
