The Lead Point<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always enthralling to watch Bayern Munich coach Andrea Trinchieri work his magic on the sidelines<\/strong>. The Italian is always going up and down the floor in front of the bench, cheering on his players and is as colorful a personality there is in European basketball. The way he moves his hands, grooves his body and puts himself into the game is like none other. There is only one Andrea Trinchieri. <\/p>\n

He is a conductor at work with his orchestra at his fingertips as his gets the best out of his players game in and game out as one by one they buy into his philosophy.<\/p>\n

Trinchieri is honest with his squad and will let them know when they have to be better, but his constant encouragement is addictive. In fact, the Bayern Munich bench made the clash at Yad Eliyahu into a home game for the Germans as the cheering and rooting went on nonstop from their squad. Without the Maccabi fans on top of Trinchieri he knew full well that with a bit of passion and enthusiasm he would be able to win the game, which of course he did.<\/p>\n

But watching Trinchieri on they sidelines is only part of the show. The second act is the post game press conference where every media member was hanging onto every word the Milan native had to say. It was gospel exiting the 52-year old\u2019s mouth waiting to be gobbled up by the attentive press.<\/p>\n

How big a win was it really for Trinchieri? Let me tell you a story.<\/p>\n

A few years back when he was the coach of Bamberg he spoke about the \u201cghosts\u201d that are in Yad Eliyahu and that it\u2019s one of the most difficult places to win a game. So I prefaced my question to coach Trinchieri about him being able to banish those \u201cghosts\u201d. Here is the answer he gave me, \u201cThere was once an Italian tennis broadcaster who was doing Roland Garros and he had this expression that I will never forget. That there are games that you put a red circle on these games. For me going to Tel Aviv they will always have a red circle<\/strong>. It\u2019s very hard, but the few times I can go home with a win, it\u2019s sweet.\u201d
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHonesty as I said earlier about Trinchieri is always the best policy, \u201cIt was a weird game and I believe that we played some good moments especially on defense. We saw what we can do on the good side of basketball and the bad. We made so many mistakes in the last 50 seconds but I will swallow it and cope with their mistakes<\/strong> and make them better from their mistakes. It\u2019s a great feeling to win here and we go home with a very big win on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trinchieri continued, \u201cI believe the players should enjoy a great win a bit, but a coach has to think about the next game and keep them moving to the next one. New rotation of players and keep them fresh. We have a very green backcourt with players who haven\u2019t played Euroleague but they have bought in and will play with adversity. I will live with their mistakes and believe me it gives me headaches but I prefer to that kind of attitude form my players. I will stay with their mistakes and try to make them better but there is no substitute for players that will dive on the floor, there is no substitute for that<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also referenced his time as the coach of Partizan Belgrade over the past couple of years who played in the EuroCup, \u201cWhen you\u2019re the coach of Partizan you don\u2019t miss anything, you don\u2019t coach a team, you coach something different.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no one better than Trinchieri when there is a microphone in front of him. He is a ham for the camera and a showman extraordinaire. He\u2019s got to be considered right up there with the likes of Jose Mourinho with his quotes and notes. Now the challenge he has to do is be able to win as much as the Portuguese bench boss has.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit more from Trinchieri later on in the 3-Pointers.
