Ibrahim Kotloui: "Since Gershon and Blatt are out of the loop, Maccabi Tel Aviv is shooting in all directions"
The former player was not impressed by the yellows in the game against Fenerbahce: "The team is disorganized and Ketches is a big question mark. How much credit will he get from Vučić?"
Voila system!

Maccabi Tel Aviv wants to get back to winning ways tonight (Tuesday, 21:05) in the EuroLeague, after succumbing quite easily to Fenerbahce on Friday.
The match against Monaco tonight will be a significant challenge for Ketch's team, who were far from impressive in Istanbul.
Last night, two former players, Ibrahim Kotlui and Alan Digbo, analyzed the game against Fenerbahce, and did not spare the criticism towards the yellow-blues.
"Since David Blatt and Finney Gershon finished their careers, there is no Israeli coach that Maccabi Tel Aviv hasn't tried. It shoots in all directions," commented Kotloui, one of the top snipers in European basketball at the beginning of the millennium, and who joined Panathinaikos in 2001, after Ketch left it.
"Ketch was a great player, but for now his career as a coach doesn't seem very stable to me. Against Fener, Maccabi Tel Aviv looked very disorganized. They seem to have a serious shooting problem, and also question marks regarding rebounding. How well is Ketch able to control this team? I have There are serious question marks about him, and I wonder how much credit he will even get from Nikola Vujicic."
Throughout the continent they continue to doubt.

Alain Digbo, who previously played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, claims that the human material in the yellow team's squad is the main problem.
"With the players that Maccabi Tel Aviv brought, it's very interesting how Ketch will manage. Brown, Baldwin, Niebo, Colson, Poythers, Jarl Martin - it's not clear how comfortable they are in the locker room. Especially Baldwin, who is known as a player with a difficult personality. How Will Ketch communicate with them? How will he be able to get the most out of them? How will he be able to both challenge them and make them listen to him?", he wonders.
"Maccabi Tel Aviv has talent, but you can talk about talent from today until tomorrow. In the end, the most important thing is the dressing room, and the coach. With Ketch, I'm not sure it's the most appropriate thing."
