Contract sent to Simone Zanotti and only signature is awaited. Which could arrive today. Pino Sacripanti closes another important step, in the long department, for next season. The concrete, the foundations. Zanotti, an athlete that the Pesaro public knows well, is a player who can cover the role of pivot (2 meters 8) but who is also gifted with a good shot from the arc. Experienced player, with 4 appearances for the national team, who knows Pesaro and the club well. A safe used one. The club now seems to be focused above all on solving the problems within the three-second area because they have now also put Vildera in their sights, which contributed significantly to bringing Trieste back to the top flight.
This is because Pino Sacripanti is convinced that it will be above all the small players who will make the difference, so it will be interesting to understand, in the end, how much money will be left to hire an American point guard or small forward, the ones who will really make the red and white team make a leap in quality. It must be said that in the guards department the company has also targeted Filloy, another former red and white. A player with great experience, a veteran of the Argentine school, one of those on the battlefield because the A2 championship is very tough and also very long given that 20 teams participate. Filloy’s hiring also appears very close: in short, Sacripanti is moving decisively and quickly within a market that is not at all easy.
There is a point of no small importance and that is the hiring of the American playmaker: Americans are notoriously like jukeboxes and that is, throw in the money and choose the song. Someone like Foreman placed in an A2 championship appears devastating even if the former US international point guard is a ‘difficult’ character. This happens against Cremona: minute and from the bench they say: “Foreman are keeping you well with doubles and a long man to help. He passes the ball to his teammates and limits one-on-ones”. The playmaker’s response: “Not even Michael Jordan can stop me…”. This is the panorama even if boasts of this kind have also been heard from Italian players of much lower technical depth. But good Americans have all been like this since the dawn of time: big problems in terms of management. But Foreman is a player who is a lethal weapon in A2. Assuming he never accepts even if the problem is always the same: just a dirty question of money.
