Former head coachKhimki » Sergei Elevich in an interview with , he told how he bought apartments for the players of a team near Moscow when the club did not have the possibility to do so.
On October 5, Elevich turned 75 years old. He is the founder of the Khimki basketball club; the specialist is part of the coaching council of the Russian Basketball Federation (RFB).
“The most important thing is that I always kept my word.” In Khimki, for example, apartments were specified in the club’s contract with certain players. The club couldn’t do that – I bought apartments for the players with my own money. They were Sasha Petrenko, Misha Soloviev and Denis Ershov.
– An altruistic act. Few will do it, even with a lot of money.
— I then had a line of players. Because they understood: if I say it, I will do it. I always live with the feeling that we must keep our word and not deceive. And I never promised something if I couldn’t do anything. You see, I really like Omar Khayyam. His poetry and aphorisms are full of worldly wisdom, these things run through my life,” Elevich told .
