Messina is also an expert when it comes to communicating ideas, arguments and insights about basketball - not only to players, but to media and fans as well. For two seasons, he has shared his philosophy in a blog on the Russian website www.sports.ru. With these select excerpts from Coach Messina's blogs he now shares his ideas with you, too.



Ettore Messina, CKSA Moscow:
"It is a great opportunity to help Euroleague Basketball expand itself and knowledge beyond Europe, as well as a great opportunity for us to meet coaches in many countries and share our experiences," Messina said. "The greatest part of this project is not only that it's happening through a computer, but there will also be hands-on learning at the end, when the students and I stay together for a four-day session. We will combine the on-line experience with face-to-face learning to help spread the word about European basketball."
