After more than a round - the first game of the season was postponed due to the eruption of Corona, and it was clear that we could not continue to go between the drops • Oren Aharoni had no sentiments against Maccabi Tel Aviv • and Hoover's rise in Eilat after Hamilton left • Commentary


1. The

man in the class is Oren Aharoni.

Who was until the summer

The youth coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, not only defeated her, but almost defeated her. The man who was the flesh and blood of Maccabi and nurtured the younger generation for almost a decade, surpasses her without any sentiments. Lowering the importance of youth coaching, he definitely belongs to the high level of the Premier League.

It happens late.

If you ignore the fact that he coached Givat Shmuel for more than a decade, Aharoni begins his career at the front of the stage at the age of 48. So those who searched in recent years and did not find Israeli coaches - they are probably under the noses of us all.

When you see Herzliya, you see order, method and thought.

From building the team in the summer to the way the team plays on the field.

Herzliya with four consecutive victories, second in the table, and only one point below Hapoel Jerusalem.

This is the team that last season almost relegated.

Aharoni is primarily responsible for the upheaval.

2.

It was clear that it would come and the truth is that we still came out cheap.

Only in early January and after more than a full round, the first game of the season was postponed because of Corona.

This was the match between Maccabi Rishon LeZion and Hapoel Haifa, which was postponed due to four verifications in Haifa.

In light of the situation in the Euroleague and in the European leagues our situation was good, even very good.

In Spain, for example, 14 of the last 18 games in the last two rounds have been postponed.

Hapoel Jerusalem's game in the Champions Cup has been postponed twice due to a wave of infections at Manresa.

In the Euroleague more than half of the last round games have been postponed and so will this week.

Postponement of Haifa's game will have a preliminary effect.

It is likely that its games in the coming days against Gilboa and Eilat will be postponed as well.

The game board will start to mix and the vice president, Shlomi Perry, will start jungle to stroke postponed games like last season. It was clear we could not keep going between the drops. The fact that it came late is not a certificate of insurance to continue. You know these things have a domino effect.

One and another one is not always equal to two

.

At Hapoel Eilat, they brought in Alex Hamilton so that he could share the position of coordinator with Roi Hoover and take the load off him.

The experiment failed for both the team and Hoover.

Once the American coordinator was released, he was left alone again and with almost 40 minutes of play, he was back to flourishing and the team winning.

Hoover gives an excellent season.

Much because of the great trust of Ariel Beit Halachmi.

From the start he was left alone in the campaign due to the release of Will Cherry.

Now, he is already in the peak season of his career, has been named player of the month twice and has also made the national team.

There was a glitch on the way, but in Eilat they realized that Hamilton was undermining Hoover's confidence and himself was not making the contribution.

Eilat, which dropped to last place, came back big with three consecutive victories after the change in the team.

Let's go to numbers that say it all.

In Hoover's three games with Alex Hamilton (all losses) - he played 23 minutes on average, scoring 9 points, and 3 of 10 for three and averaging 4 assists.

Notice the rise in the last three games since Hamilton left (all wins): Hoover has averaged 37.5 minutes, scoring 17 points, and during that time also scored 7 of 13 for three alongside 9 assists.
