Reports | Veselin Matic appointed as new head coach of Indian Basketball team

Matic is expected to arrive in India towards the end of April and the Indian basketball body wanted him to conduct regular zonal camps. The Serbian ace will be tasked with turning around the fortunes of the men’s national team and will also have to settle an alleged rift among the national group of players.

“Our plan is for him to conduct regular zonal coaching camps apart from clinics for our coaches. The problem we face is that each zone has its own coaching systems and when players meet for national camps, we lose a lot of time in getting them to adapt to one system. We want to establish a uniform coaching pattern throughout the country,” said BFI secretary-general Chander Mukhi Sharma was quoted as saying by The Hindu.
