Italian NT head coach on Banchero: I’m sorry. We were all hurt

Gianmarco Pozzecco, head coach of Italbasket, intervened in Area52. He commented on Paolo Banchero’s “no” to the National team: “We were hurt. Not for the boy’s choice, we would never have questioned it. His way of “not communicating” his choice to us has somewhat disappointed us. Choosing Team USA is perhaps even more logical than Italy, but the way, the not having communicated it to us, not having warned us…”

“I’m sorry. We were all hurt.”
