Offensive defender MBA Daniil Kasatkin told that the main advantage of the head coach of the Moscow team Vasily Karasev is that it gives basketball players the freedom to be creative.
Karasev has led the IBA since 2022. As a player, he became a two-time silver medalist at the World Championships and also won silver and bronze medals at the European Championships. The 52-year-old specialist was recognized as the best coach in the league in 2016, and in 2022 he was included in the VTB United League Hall of Fame.
— How cool, in your opinion, is Vasily Karasev as a coach?
— The main thing is that he is a player. Vasily Nikolaevich himself had a good career and was very talented. And he tries to bring out the same in the players, sometimes by making concessions, sometimes by turning a blind eye to mistakes for which in other clubs they would have been benched a long time ago. In MBA, I can make a mistake three or four times, sit on the bench and come out a few minutes later. The number of opportunities given and the coaching acumen are the main advantages of Vasily Nikolaevich,” Kasatkin told .
MBA takes sixth place in Group B of the second stage of the regular season, and the Muscovites have nine victories in 28 matches of the VTB United League season.
