French basketball team – the Olympic Games are over, all the players have left for their respective clubs, whether in Europe or the United States. The next hot issue for the Blues is on the bench. Indeed, by the end of the year, we will know who will be chosen to succeed Vincent Collet. Marine Fauthoux’s father could be chosen but not to coach his daughter… it will be to coach Victor Wembanyama’s teammates.
No need to introduce Marine Fauthouxour French star who never shies away. With her injury at the Olympic Games, it’s crazy to think that she was able to play at this level. Her father is less well-known, however, his CV speaks for itself and has been a candidate since the early 2020s. He has won everything in France, as a player, and was recently the winner of the French championship with ASVEL. But can he train both his club and JL Bourg and be the coach of the French team? For him, There is no doubt, especially since he was received by the federation and would see it as an honor. :
“I was able to explain what I could bring to this position. It’s not new, I’ve had this goal for several years. Everyone would like to select and coach this French team. It also represents a huge responsibility because it’s the showcase of French basketball. I’m aware of what it is and it would be an honor to be appointed to this position.”
Even more than a workforce with team USA or another nation, it is difficult to coach the French team. Already, at the level of the deadlines, where it is sometimes necessary to play matches during the NBA season and thus select the “excluded”. Then afterwards, it is necessary to follow the season of players such as Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert or even Bilal Coulibaly to name just a few. A mission that is anything but obvious when you already have to coach in a club. The future will tell us very quickly.
The decision will not be made now, but here is a very serious candidate who could be chosen. Be careful not to underestimate the foreign choice, because in a new era, with a completely different generation, it may be time for change.
