IBA-MAI General Director Igor Kocharyan commented on reports regarding the club’s financial problems and also reported that Vasily Karasev will remain the team’s head coach.
The MBA club failed to qualify for the playoffs last season of the VTB United League, losing in the decisive play-in match against Samara. In the new season, the capital team will be called MBA-MAI.
— MBA is now MBA-MAI. How did you come up with a longer name?
— We started cooperation with the Moscow Aviation Institute last season. It was at the Super League level, and now it reaches the highest level. And in principle, we have a large number of children studying in the MAI system. This is an opportunity to prove yourself in professional sports and at the same time receive a quality education. MAI supports basketball and actively develops it with us. And this cooperation has reached the highest level.
— There were reports that the IBA was having financial problems. Did you understand this problem?
– Since we are in the United League, it means that we have successfully overcome everything. It happens, there are difficulties and the job of management is to overcome them.
— You extended your contract with Evgeniy Voronov. Now the task is to retain head coach Vasily Karasev?
— We reached an agreement with Vasily Nikolaevich. It will remain. This is a settled question. Our captain Zhenya Voronov has now been signed. This is a strategically important issue. In the near future, we will actively work in the market to maintain our chosen vector,” Kocharyan told .
