Oded Katash will close the circle tonight (Friday) when he stands on the lines in the Panathinaikos uniform for the first time. Even before the Greens try to put together a second consecutive victory against Fenerbahce in the Euroleague game, Greece have analyzed the new coach in depth.
“Everything goes through the pick-and-roll game,” SPORT24 wrote. “In his three seasons in Jerusalem he has formulated a philosophy and a certain way in which he believes his team should play. Over the years he has developed for himself an impressive arsenal of exercises when they start and end in pick and roll because he believes that way the attacking game can be controlled.” In the same analysis, they added some elements that he prefers less: “Katsh does not often block without a ball for the guards and also for post-up moves for his inside players.”

“Katsh also emphasizes the aspect of high post games when a player in position 4 has an important meaning in the form of his game. As a result, he creates problems in the opponent’s defense while at the same time there are players who space the game off the arc.”
“It is also important for the coach to build his offensive game and create maximum productivity at every stage, so he demands a high pace from his players,” SPORT24 noted. “The defensive rebound also has tremendous significance for her, and the control under the baskets creates opportunities for his team to erupt. His method creates great freedom for his creative players within his calculated approach. On defense he often uses a variety of tricks with different types of regionalism.”
Along with the professional abilities in Greece also focused on the mental aspect of Katsch. “Psychology is his most powerful weapon. He creates a close relationship with his players that causes full trust and through that success usually comes.”
It was then written about Pau’s condition and the steps Katsch would have to take: “He will have to create his own identity and all this without choosing the player material. He is going to work with players completely different from what he is used to. In addition, the biggest problem in the team is In position number 1 – the most important role for his method “.
