The coach of the Argentine team, Sergio “Oveja” Hernández, announced on Tuesday that his stage ended after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, in which the Argentine representative said goodbye in the quarterfinals with Australia after three defeats in four games.
“For me, the Selection stage is over. He could use a change and start a new process, and from now on he will have my full support “, the now ex-selector warned at the outset. “There are some who already want to withdraw me. I have nothing in sight, the Games have just finished, and I have no proposal from any club. Today I am not the coach of the Argentine National Team, I finished my contract and I could not meet with the leaders of the CAB“he continued.
This way, Hernández’s own words put an end to the possible renovation, as requested by Facundo Campazzo, the main figure of the selected one. “The National Team belongs to everyone. I can’t help but think that the coaches who are in Argentina are not participants in everything that Argentine basketball achieves worldwide. The National Team will always have me available“Hernández explained in a note with TyC Sports.
On the other hand, the Sheep, one of the most important coaches in the history of national basketball, acknowledged that they were not “at the height” of an Olympic game, beyond the “high level” of Spain, Slovenia and Australia, the three that beat the Argentine team.
And also pointed to a mistake of his own such as leaving Gabriel Deck on campus after his tight recovery from coronavirus in relation to the times, since the Oklahoma City Thunder forward was infected two weeks before the start and was well below his possibilities. “Deck should not have played, I know that Covid-19 leaves sequels, and they are things that I should have read before,” he closed.
