Moscow basketball player CSKA Melo Trimble spoke about the team’s head coach Andreas Pistiolis, highlighting his strengths.
Shortly before the start of last season’s playoffs, Pistiolis replaced Emil Rajkovic as head coach of the military team. Under the leadership of the Greek specialist, CSKA won the VTB United League, beating UNICS in the final (4-1). In May, the coach extended his contract with the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.
“He’s one of those guys who knows what he’s talking about.” He’s worked with other good coaches and learned a lot, you can tell. He worked with me in Turkey. And what he taught me really helped me become a better person. Last year, when we were struggling, I thought about him all year as a coach.
I have nothing against another specialist (Emil Rajkovic), but if Andreas had been our coach throughout the season, everything would have been different. Because I know what he looks like.
When he came to our team, I immediately realized that we were going to become champions. He is just a special coach. In my opinion, any player would like to play under him.
I haven’t heard anything bad about him, neither in his previous team nor at CSKA. Nobody spoke negatively about him. He’s a good guy, even off the field, and a great coach who motivates us, motivates me.
And that’s exactly what I need: a guy who knows my game and knows me personally. Someone I can talk to on and off the court. And he’s exactly that kind of person,” Trimble told Championship.
