17 joint appearances, four titles, at least two appearances each, and three that have already lifted the trophy - this is the balance of the four coaches in the Final Four of the Euroleague that will set off tonight in Belgrade.
So what does each coach bring to the class, and what should he prove?
The best show on the continent: Argin Atman, Andulo Zero
What other coach announces before such an event that he will win the title, and also says which rival will be happy to win the final?
There is nothing like the Turk in interviews - does not speak clichés and does not treat everything as a state secret.
Beyond his confidence in winning for the second time in a row, he also wants Barcelona in the final.
Why?
Because of the hostile atmosphere in the away loss, in which he was sent off.

Atman is not only the most honest and communicative coach, but also the most successful on the continent in recent years.
Not Messina, not Oberdovich, not Sharas and not Lasso - it is Atman who rules Europe.
This is his third Final Four in the last four years, and without the Corona that interrupted 2020 he might have had another championship.
He built a dynasty in Turkey, with a team led by Vasily Mitchic and Shane Larkin, who not only deliver achievements but play the most beautiful basketball on the continent.
Coming together: Yorgos Bratzokas, Olympiacos
Almost a decade ago, in 2013, Yorgos Bratzokas led Olympiacos to a huge Euroleague victory, thus becoming a household name in European basketball.
The successful coach left for Locomotive Cuban, with whom he reached the Final Four in 2016 (an achievement no less great than winning with the Reds), and two and a half years ago returned to Greece.
Together with Olympiacos he completes a joint comeback to the main stage of the factory.
The Greeks reach the Final Four after a five-year absence, and Bratzokas after six.
In recent years Bratzokas and Olympiacos have known no successes.

The coach failed at Barcelona and Moscow Moscow, and the team was not part of the top of the Euroleague.
But this season, thanks to team spirit, defense and many home victories - they return together to the European top at a perfect time for them.
The final stamp: Sharonas Jasikevicius, Barcelona
's top Euroleague coaches is a closed club that is very difficult to get into, but Sharas has crept in very quickly, as he did as a player.
The young Final Four coach - just 46 - in his sixth season as a coach, has already been mentioned as a candidate for coach in the NBA.
In Zalgiris he managed to do magic on a low budget, and now in Barcelona he has all the resources to win the title - and that's what is expected of him.

In his two years in Catalonia, the coach won the championship, two trophies, and will finish the season in first place in the Spanish league.
Last season, Sharas led Barcelona to the biggest achievement since winning the Euroleague in 2010 with a place in the final, but to get the final stamp on being part of the top, the Lithuanian needs to win the title this season.
The hardest of all is already behind him: Pablo Lasso, Real Madrid
you will be surprised, but the Final Four is not the hardest thing Pablo Lasso will go through this season.
The hardest of all is already behind him.
The very arrival of the event after the crisis that befell Real Madrid this season is a great achievement.
Lasso has led his team to six of the last eight Final Four tournaments, winning two trophies, but this time it is special in its own way.
The Spaniard has been coaching the luxury club for 11 years, but this year has been two months that have never been experienced before.
The intensity of the crisis also stemmed from its length and in a period of more than two months, the Blancos won only seven games out of 23.

But the prophecies of wrath did not come true.
The biggest expert in crisis management on the continent once again managed - quietly, in experience, and with a lot of composure - to stabilize the ship in the series against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The crisis was so deep that the Final Four this season for Real is a kind of bonus She is definitely a contender to win the title.
