Honored Coach of Russia Sergei Elevitch in a conversation with , he noted that the departure of Natalia Galkina from the position of General Secretary of the Russian Basketball Federation (RBF) at the FIBA headquarters would be a serious loss for the RBF.
At the same time, the specialist noted that this could be a positive moment in terms of the position of Russian basketball on the international stage.
Earlier on Monday, the RFB press service reported that Galkina will continue to work at the headquarters of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) in Switzerland.
– Of course, his departure from FIBA is a great loss for our basketball federation. Still, Galkina was already on the subject. She has a very professional approach to basketball, Natalia is a knowledgeable person, she is very erudite. It’s just that they don’t invite you to FIBA. It is a valid invitation, especially in the current situation of the sport. It’s very good that our people are invited. They are in demand. Will his presence in FIBA help us in the current difficult situation? It always helps. Kirilenko became responsible for 3×3 – and already serious progress. Again, if Russians are in FIBA, that’s great.
What will happen here at the RFB? There are people who will close this topic. There is Vladimir Dyachok (executive director of the RFB – editor’s note), but, of course, it will be difficult to replace Galkin. Of course, we currently don’t have any international tournaments, so we will do everything successfully at the national level. And there we will go further: we have to train specialists,” Yelevich told .
