Natcho is of Circassian descent from the city of Kfar Kama and is the first Non-Jewish Captain of the Israel National Team.

Klein, a Holocaust survivor not only was a star player winning 8 league titles and 6 State Cups but was also won 10 league championships and 10 cups as a coach. He coached Maccabi Tel Aviv BC to the Euroleague title in 1977 and helped Israel to a Silver Medal at the European Championships in 1979. Born in Berlin, his family moved to Budapest prior to World War II and was rescued by Raoul Wallenberg, but his father was captured and sent to Aushwitz where he died at the hands of the Nazis. In 1983 he took over as coach of West Germany and led them to the 1984 Olympics and 1985 Eurobasket Tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Hits<\/strong> &#8211; F <strong>Terrell Miller<\/strong> signed with Hapoel Eilat after playing with Murray State last season&#8230;<strong>Moti Amsalem<\/strong>, President of Hapoel Eilat passed away at the age of 60 yesterday&#8230;Ali Osman helped <strong>Bnei Sakhin<\/strong> to a 1:0 Toto Cup win over Kiryat Shemona&#8230;<strong>Maccabi Haifa<\/strong> defeated Hapoel Hadera 4:0 thanks to goals by Nikita RukavytsaAllison dos Santos, Shlomi Azulay and Sean Veisman&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) Maccabi Tel Aviv drew with Pyunik 0:0 in the first leg of Third Round Europa League Qualifying in Yerevan, Armenia as the decisive return leg will tale place next Thursday, August 16 at 20:30 Israel time at the Netanya Stadium.
