Before Elan Chalon and the Mets, Jean-Paul Besson was the coach of Bandol in Nationale 3 and this is what prompted Var Matin to ask for his news.
“I hope to stay in this industry as long as possible despite the intense pressure that comes with coaching at the highest level. I love and live for basketball!” says the one who confides that these two seasons with Vincent Collet are transcribed in four enormous binders.
After 18 matches, Boulogne-Levallois has only two victories, four fewer than Roanne which is the last non-relegation place. Is Pro B still avoidable?
“It will be complicated. The players are in a difficult and delicate situation. They tend to get angry due of course to our ranking. They are for the moment in the “me I”, the “we” does not exist “The group I have is of quality, it is receptive, it will come through work and defense if we want to get through it,” he believes.
About his staff, Jean-Paul Besson explains:
“It is important in my eyes to surround yourself with people you trust. Earvin Schneider, this may seem surprising because he comes from Lorgues where he trained the Nationale 3. We met in Chalon, he is a specialist in video, he knows basketball perfectly and he is also a huge hard worker. As for Stéphane Dumas, he was at the head of the Moroccan selection. We had known each other for a while and we talked a lot when the Mets played the Eurocup. At that time he was the assistant of Gran Canaria [Espagne]. He is my first assistant and will be in charge of individual work. He will also help me prepare for training and matches.”
Jean-Paul Besson is also the father of Hugo who spent a season with the Mets following a stay in Australia.
“He signed this season for FMP Belgrade (12th in the Adriatic League). After his hip operations, he came back thanks to his great strength of character. He is learning Serbian rigor. There, the mind is essential. His priority is to have playing time in a less rated team. In my opinion, it is essential for a young person of his age (22 years old) to play rather than stay on the bench in big teams. We communicate every day. “
