The Israeli team tonight (Sunday) finished a particularly impressive European Championship qualifying campaign with a 78:73 loss to Spain that does not hurt the success of the blue-and-whites who finished in first place at home and advanced in style to the tournament.
Coach Oded Katash, who is unlikely to continue in the role following the clash with his work at Panathinaikos, said: "With great excitement I conclude this campaign. Not only from the results, but also from the road. "Together. The commitment of our players is tremendous. You can look with great pride at what we have done and know that we have a great future."
"I am finishing four years in the position and I am very proud to have been the coach of the Israeli team. It is impossible to know what will happen in the future, but if this was my last game, the next coach has a special group of players and a lot to work with."
Katsch also complimented the outstanding player in the game, and in fact the player who excelled throughout his time as national coach, Jake Cohen.
"Jake is great for us. He's the leader. I really enjoy coaching him thanks to his basketball and his leadership. He's a player who always gives everything he has. In that window we missed one of our highs and he had to fight with all the highs and he did the That's great. "
