Unics Kazan comes off a great season that saw the team come within
one result the Eurocup crown. This season the club has a chance to do even
more as it begins its campaign in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague
qualifying rounds. Unics reached the Eurocup Finals sporting a 20-2
record, which helped Andrew Goudelock earn Eurocup MVP honors and
Andrea Trinchieri to be chosen as the Eurocup Coach of the Year. Valencia
Basket Club stopped Unics’s march to the title, but Unics bounced back by
lifting the Russian Cup trophy and reaching the VTB League semifinals.
Founded in 1991, Unics soon became the perfect ambassador for the
sports-crazy Republic of Tatarstan in the Russian Federation and within a
decade was challenging for titles.
The club reached the Russian League finals in 2001 and 2002, the
year in which it also made it to the Saporta Cup semifinals. Its hard work
paid off in 2003, when Unics downed CSKA in overtime to lift the Russian
Cup. In 2004, Kazan was home to the FIBA Europe League final four and
Unics made the most of it by downing Maroussi to win its first continental
title. Unics made its ULEB Cup debut in the 2005-06 season and already
reached the semifinals the following year, before losing against Real
Madrid. Unics also reached the 2008 ULEB Cup Final Eight. Everything
clicked in the 2010-11 Eurocup as Unics won its regular season and Last 16
groups and swept its quarterfinal series. Once in the Finals, Unics thrashed
Cedevita Zagreb in the semifinals and bested Cajasol Sevilla in the
championship game.
Marko Popovic amassed 18 points and 11 assists to earn Finals MVP
honors. Unics made its Euroleague debut a successful one in 2011-12
season by going all the way to the playoffs. No longer satisfied with being
near the top, expect Unics Kazan to challenge for plenty of silverware this
season and try to reach the Euroleague through the qualifying rounds.

TROPHY CASE
Italian National Cup: 2014
The 2013-14 season was nothing short of historic for Dinamo Banco
di Sardegna Sassari. The club comes off a magnificent campaign in which
it won its first trophy – the Italian Cup – by knocking off host EA7
Emporio Armani Milan already in the quarterfinals; advanced two stages
and was the top-scoring team in the Eurocup; and reached the Italian
League semifinals. With All-Eurocup Second Team forward Caleb Green
and Omar Thomas at forward and cousins Travis and Drake Diener in the
backcourt, Coach Meo Sacchetti enjoyed a superb season on the sidelines.
Now the club takes the next step forward by bringing the Turkish Airlines
Euroleague to the Mediterranean isle of Sardinia.
Founded in 1960 by a group of local students, the club began playing
in regional championships three years later. It reached the Italian national
leagues in 1966 and by 1986 it rose to the third division. Led by Max Bini,
Mario Porto and Lino Mura, Sassari reached the Italian second division in
1989, where it stayed for a decade.
By the mid-1990s, the team had embraced strict values of
sportsmanship and fair play, which have allowed Sassari to win several
awards in Italian basketball. In 1995, Sassari scored 158 points in a nonovertime game against Pavia, which remains a record in Italian professional
basketball.
The club returned to the Italian second division in 2003 and reached
the promotion playoffs in 2008 and 2009, but missed getting to the top
level after losing to Jesi and Soresina, respectively. Everything changed in
the 2009-10 season when Sassari, led by Marcelus Kemp, Jason Rowe and
Jiri Hubalek, downed Veroli in the promotion playoffs to reach the Italian
elite. In its first season, Sassari had a sudden impact in the Italian League
behind an outstanding James White.
Sassari won its last three regular season games to reach the playoffs
with a 15-15 record before taking a bow against EA7 Milan. Sassari proved
it was a team on the rise in the 2011-12 season by reaching the Italian
League semifinals for the first time ever. The Diener cousins and Quinton
9
Hosley made the difference for Sassari, which finished the regular season
with a 20-12 record and downed Canadian Solar Bologna in the
quarterfinals. That was enough to put Sardinia in the Eurocup for the first
time. Dinamo’s Eurocup debut was a victorious won over Cajasol Seville,
but Sassari missed a chance to reach the Last 16 with a Week 6 defeat to
Orleans Loiret Basket. In between there was some history as Travis Diener
set a new Eurocup single-game assists record with 15 against Crvena
Zvezda Belgrade. Sassari also finished the 2013 Italian league regular
season in second place.
Last season Sassari built on its more-than-respectable Eurocup debut
and took the next step toward the top in domestic play. Even before any
balls hit the hardwood this season, history is being made in Sassari as
Palasport Roberta Serradimigni prepares to host the best players and teams
in Europe. With a feisty squad filled with self-confidence and great scoring
ability, look for Sassari to attack from Day 1 as the club seeks a permanent
place among the European elite.

Regulations for Media
Article 86. Access to Team Locker Rooms for the Media and
Post-Game Press Conference
86.1. Five minutes after the final buzzer, the head coach or media
director will announce to the accredited media that their team locker room
is open. The team manager, media director or other official from each club
will tell the players when the media are about to enter the locker room, and
also if any women are among the accredited media. Then the locker room
must be
opened to properly accredited media, with local security thoroughly briefed
to conform with the regulation and ensure accreditation enforcement.
86.2. The locker room will remain open to the accredited media for
a minimum of 15 minutes, and the players will have to attend to them
during this entire period at least.
86.3. If space allows, all accredited media – and only accredited
media – will be allowed to enter both locker rooms. Due to, and only to,
potential space problems, each club may decide before the season on a
minimum number of accredited media – never less than 15 per locker room
– to be given special locker room accreditations for each game. If the
number does not meet the demand (16 or more accredited media want to
enter locker rooms), the access will be awarded on a rotating game-to-game
basis. Those not in the rotation for the locker room of the home team will
be given accreditation to enter the locker room of the visiting team.
Locker room accreditations will be distributed equally to all media
types, with at least the Host Broadcaster, the Rights Holders of the visiting
team’s territory, the premium media partner, one major daily newspaper,
and one radio station allowed in the locker rooms of the home and visiting
team after each game. The Euroleague.net correspondent of each club will
always be included in the rotation. The Company will reserve the right to
raise the minimum of 15 accredited media per locker room for certain
games.
All visiting media approved by the media director of the visiting
club will be given accreditation at least to the locker room of the visiting
team, and also to that of the home team, if space allows.
All accredited media allowed to enter the locker rooms must follow the
guidelines below:
 All media, except photographers, will only enter the locker room for
interviews.
15
 All media, except photographers and Rights Holders that are not
interviewing any player, will exit the locker room.
The Host Broadcaster will be allowed to shoot footage inside the
locker rooms without the obligation to interview players or head coaches.
 All footage shot inside the locker room must be starting from the waist
upwards. No footage shot below the waist will be allowed.
The Host Broadcaster may also shoot footage of the teams’ arrival at the
arena, their walk from the bus to the locker rooms and inside the locker
rooms before the start of the game. The Host Broadcaster’s camera may
shoot up to three minutes with all the players inside the locker room,
without any interviews and always with the maximum respect for the
players’ usual routine.
86.4. The press conference room will be located in proximity to the
locker rooms and the media work room. A press conference with the head
coach of the visiting team will begin within a maximum of 20 minutes
following the final buzzer. Immediately following the conclusion of this a
press conference with the head coach of the home team will start (the head
coaches will attend to the media separately). The press conference times
will not affect the opening of the team locker rooms. The home club is
responsible for making an audio recording of the press conference and
sending it to the Company’s Communication Department.
86.5. Without prejudice to the head coaches’ and players’ obligation
to meet the media in the press conference room, mixed zone and locker
rooms, the head coaches and players must also be available to talk to the
Host Broadcasters and Right Holders of the visiting team’s territory on the
playing court, for flash interviews, immediately after each game.
86.6. The coordination work for the correct functioning of the press
conference and locker room policy will fall upon the media director of each
club.
86.7. The media director or a staff member of each club will
accompany their head coach and players to the press conference and will be
responsible for the translation from/into English of all questions and
statements.
86.8. The media director of the home club will be responsible for the
translation of all questions and statements from/into English and the
official language of the home club’s country.
86.9. A statement of post-game media access rules as provided by the
Company will be posted, in English, on locker room doors and in
the media work room of each arena before, during and after all
games.

UNICS KAZAN: TRANSFORMATION
By vtb-league.com
Ambitious as always, UNICS assembled a dangerous squad last
season, and, despite winning just one trophy (the Russian Cup), enjoyed a
successful year overall, reaching the finals of the Eurocup and the VTB
United League semifinals. Then early in the summer, Italian head coach
Andrea Trinchieri unexpectedly moved to Bamberg, setting off a chain
reaction at the club. Only five players from that team remain, joined by
eight newcomers and a new coach. VTB-League.com attempts to determine
what we should expect from Kazan in the 2014-15 season.
The Back Story
Trinchieri's arrival in summer 2013 spurred Kazan to sign several big
names. The new arrivals fit in quickly as UNICS built its identity on
smothering defense, a deep bench and Andrew Goudelock's explosive
scoring, which rescued the team on more than one occasion. The team had
serious championship aspirations, finishing the VTB United League regular
season with a 17-1 record, to earn a #1 seed in the playoffs.
After breezing by Krasnye Krylia in the quarterfinals (3-0), the WhiteGreens ran into CSKA in the semifinals. Kazan was hampered in the series
by an injury to big man Kostas Kaimakoglou. But their opponent, of
course, posed the biggest problem. After the disappointment of the
Euroleague Final Four, CSKA stormed back from a 2-0 hole in the
quarterfinals vs. Lokomotiv-Kuban and entered the semis with restored
confidence.
The key moment in the series came in the first game. Despite trailing
by more than ten points in the fourth quarter, CSKA made a late charge and
forced overtime. The Army Men could not be stopped in the extra period,
snatching the victory from a deflated UNICS squad, as well as home-court
advantage in the series. CSKA did not look back, rolling to a 3-game series
sweep.
Kazan did make it all the way to the Eurocup finals. After impressive
performances in the group stage and playoffs (20-2 record), UNICS could
never find a groove against Valencia in the finals, settling for the silver
medals. But the White-Greens did win one trophy last season. Thanks to
victories against Khimki and Lokomotiv-Kuban, UNICS captured the
Russian Cup.
Though UNICS did not accomplish everything it set out to, the club's
front office unanimously deemed the season a success. Kazan was once
21
again able to assemble a dangerous, talented team, add to its trophy
collection, and earn a place in the Euroleague qualifying tournament.
Quote: "Right up until the final minute of his contract, we were confident
that head coach Trinchieri would stay with the team. Unfortunately, just as
happened with Evgeny Pashutin, he said no at the very last moment. He
said it had to do with family circumstances. It's unfortunate, because we
wanted to continue working together. We were satisfied by the results
reached by Trinchieri in his work with the team." - UNICS president
Evgeny Bogachev.
Offseason
After a successful season, UNICS planned to stay on the same path.
But the 2014 summer did not go at all as planned by the front office.
It all began with Trinchieri's departure. Kazan believed until the very end
that they would be able to extend his contract; however, the Italian coach
unexpectedly decided to return to Europe in the middle of June. His biggest
reason for leaving was his desire to be closer to his family.
That set off a chain reaction. UNICS was unable to hold onto star Andrew
Goudelock, allowed Nikita Kurbanov and Ian Vougioukas to leave, while
parting ways with several more key performers. Despite extending Kostas
Kaimakoglou and Sergey Bykov's contracts, Kazan faced the unenviable
task of building a new team.
Given the looming Euroleague qualifying tournament in late September,
UNICS needed to put a squad together as soon as possible. Despite several
difficulties, the club did a fantastic job, just as in 2013.
The first task was to find a new head coach. About two weeks after
Trinchieri's departure, UNICS announced it had signed a contract with
Argiris Pedoulakis.
We don't know yet what will happen in the upcoming Euroleague
qualifying tournament, which means so much to the club, but so far it looks
like UNICS made a great decision in picking Pedoulakis. The Greek coach
is similar to Trinchieri in certain ways--he's got the energy, ambition, and
charisma needed to unite his men and build a team. At the same time,
Argiris is more experienced than his predecessor: Pedoulakis won the
Greek league and competed in the Euroleague with Panathinaikos.
We should also expect that Kazan will continue to emphasize defense,
while featuring a more athletic and physically imposing lineup than last
season. At the same time, this new UNICS is likely to be more disciplined
and less dependent on its leading scorer (Goudelock's struggles down the
stretch last season showed how important that can be).
In order to help Pedoulakis bring the team back to the Euroleague and
compete for a VTB United League championship, Kazan got busy in free
22
agency, signing eight players. Now all they have to do is live up to their
potential on the court.
Arrived: Argiris Pedoulakis (head coach), Keith Langford (Milan), Curtis
Jerrells (Milan), James White (Reggio-Emilia), Valery Likhodei
(Lokomotiv-Kuban), Vadim Panin (Nizhny Novgorod), Petr Gubanov
(Nizhny Novgorod), Viktor Sanikidze (Saragoza), D'or Fischer (Bamberg).
Extended: Sergey Bykov, Kostas Kaimakoglou, Pavel Antipov.
Left: Chuck Eidson (retired), Andrew Goudelock (Fenerbahce), Luke
Harangody (Valencia), Tywain McKee, Nikita Kurbanov (LokomotivKuban), Vladimir Veremeenko (Banvit), Maxim Sheleketo (Khimki),
Evgeny Kolesnikov (Enisey), Pavel Sergeev (Enisey), Aleksandr Stulenkov
(Nizhny Novgorod), Ian Vougioukas (Galatasaray).
Getting Stronger
UNICS has undergone some major changes, yet the team's learning
curve should be helped by the fact that Kaimakoglou and Nikos Zisis, both
major contributors, will understand what to expect from Greek compatriot
Pedoulakis. It doesn't hurt, either, that newcomers Vadim Panin and Petr
Gubanov(Nizhny Novgorod) and Keith Langford (pictured) and Curtis
Jerrells (Milan), played together last season.
Named to the 2013-14 All-Euroleague First Team and top scorer in the
competition (17.6 points per game), Langford chose UNICS over several
European powerhouses and the NBA. It's clear that Keith will be expected
to take over for former Kazan leader Goudelock, who left for Fenerbahce.
Langford is extremely talented and can score in a variety of ways. Don't
expect the White-Greens to miss Goudelock too much.
Jerrells, a tough, quick point guard from Texas, will pair with Langford
to form one of the VTB United League's most intimidating backcourts.
Curtis is an elite perimeter defender who should complement Langford
perfectly. He can score, too, averaging 11.2 points per game in four seasons
in the Euroleague. And he does a great job of running an offense.
Panin and Gubanov, who reached the VTB United League finals last
season with Nizhny Novgorod, as well as another Russian, Valery
Likhodei, who lit up the Euroleague with his 3-point shooting, will give
UNICS added depth and options. The previous season showed that
forwards capable of playing more than one position are in high demand and
each of these guys will be valuable members of that rotation, with UNICS
slated to compete on two fronts.
As we said before, Pedoulakis has personal experience with the
Euroleague and he's noted more than once how important conditioning and
physical size are in European basketball. UNICS's athleticism certainly got
a boost with the arrival of James White and Viktor Sanikidze in Kazan.
23
White earned the nickname Flight 75 for his high-flying dunks. But he's
more than just a one-trick pony, fully capable of creating offense on his
own. Last season, he led Italy's Reggio Emilia to a EuroChallenge
championship while averaging 17.1 points per game.
Sanikidze will also put on a show for the Kazan fans, but he's capable of
much more. His size, mobility, effort and skills make Viktor a major factor
on offense and on defense, where he can cover both the '3' and '4' positions.
With the backcourt and wings largely accounted for, UNICS made an
important addition to the frontcourt by bringing in the experienced D'or
Fischer. The big man can rebound and stretch defenses with his mid-range
jumper. His blocking prowess, meanwhile, will make opponents think
twice about attacking the paint.
Quote: "I believe in the team, I believe in the club's collective. If we're
united, we'll have good results. Our maximum goal for the Euroleague is to
reach the Final Four. If we have to play in the Eurocup again, we hope to
win a championship. We look to make the VTB United League finals. I'm
optimistic. We have an excellent, hard-working squad. We're going to
work, strive for victories, and win." - Evgeny Bogachev.
Outlook
Just five players remain from UNICS's roster last year. In addition, half
of the new roster played for national teams over the summer, which means
that Kazan got the full team together for the first time just a week before
the start of the all-important Euroleague qualifiers. Obviously, major
turnover and rushed preparations aren't the best recipe for a successful
performance in the qualifying tournament to European basketball's most
prestigious competition.
But UNICS will still be favored in the competition, which opens on
September 23 in Charleroi. Last year, Khimki failed to qualify for the
Euroleague, but recovered quickly and enjoyed a terrific regular season. As
for UNICS, the team likely won't start to peak until the spring. It will take a
few months for each player to learn his place and feel comfortable with his
teammates.
Once again, we must return to the team's summer makeover. Few will
disagree that UNICS enjoyed a successful offseason and will be one of the
league's top contenders this season thanks to its talented, deep roster. But
it's also true that it can take several years to build a serious team. It's
possible that the club won't reach its full potential in the upcoming season.
But UNICS must try to do so anyway. Pedoulakis and co. are ready to take
Kazan to the top right away.
