One of the greats of international coaching. And a helluva good guy, too.
Sergio Scariolo confirms: Eurobasket 2025 will be his last experience on the bench of the Spanish selection. The coach from Brescia has written one of the most legendary pages of international basketball with Spain, winning a world championship, four Eurobasket, a silver medal.

That’s a raw deal, Sav. Was a blast being on the beat along with you and I know wherever you land will be the better for it. Best of luck.
After three unforgettable seasons covering the team I grew up watching, my time on the Raptors sideline with Sportsnet has come to a close. Though I imagined this chapter lasting a little longer, I’m grateful for every moment, every lesson, and every opportunity to grow while
