\n\u201cI\u2019ve coached Israeli national terms for 30 years and the U20 team for the last 5 years \u2013 quality and talented basketball players,\u201d coach Tal Natan summed up the tournament after the team\u2019s final game. \u201cThey understand the one and only meaning of the name on the front [of the jersey, Israel] is greater than anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent opportunity to thank my excellent team and always remember that we wish our wounded a speedy recovery and that the abductees will return home tomorrow!!!! May all the grieving families breathe a sigh of relief and may all their dreams come true. El El Yisrael, Am Yisrael Chai!\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the week, once the team returned to Israel, with Natan, Dahan Sujic, Singer, assistant coach Omri Zirlin and head of the delegation Ora Glazer hosted by the Israel Basketball Association chairperson, Amos Frishman.

\n\u201cI saw all the games and I was filled with great pride for the fighting spirit,\u201d Frishman said to the players. \u201cNinth place is great and with the existing system, a win here and there and you end up in a higher place, so the position doesn’t really matter to me. I want to thank you for the effort and ask that you convey my appreciation to the entire team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frishman also used the opportunity to ask the players and the staff how women\u2019s basketball can improve and told them that his phone is always available for any comments, suggestions or requests. The players and the staff thanked the Association for their hospitality and together hung a photo from the victory over Lithuania in the last game of the tournament outside of Frishman\u2019s room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
