Quattro chiacchiere con coach Ciccio Ponticiello. 1)
Coach today after 5 years you are no longer the coach of St. Antimo. Why did you choose this birth? It 's a matter of stimuli, or were not in agreement with the technical society? No contrast, divergence of design, much less, controversy. Simply, at the end of the season I realized that after five outstanding seasons in which I and the company had won all the bets that we evavamo posts, I needed to break the repetition, which inevitably was established. He recorded the feeling of not being able to transfer almost anything from one season to another, knowing that the work that I and my colleagues had developed, inevitably faded. I mean that you are unable to retain valued players. If you consider that two seasons ago had come Sant'Antimo level on points with Siena and 2 points ahead of Latin America, the two teams competed Sunday promotion in Legadue, if you look like you brought a dowry by Siena team two years ago Tomasiello and De Min, who kept that season Latina intake Bisconti, Ochoa and Svoboda, and instead was able to retain Sant'Antimo Only the dolphins, banalizzazion without any controversy, you understand the meaning of my choice.
2) Does anyone want to thank especially after the end of this adventure? Everybody, everybody, five years have been wonderful, I've always felt the support of society, appreciation of the public and the press, in which players have passed through, got themselves involved in the enormous amount of work that the was proposed and the results, those of each of them individually and the team have been the result. Thank you all, really.
3) The future of Sant'Antimo is still shrouded in uncertainty. Many people think that your farewell is the prelude to a reduction or an eventual sale of the title, because I believe that if the arch. Cesaro had wanted to make the leap into League 2 moving to Naples, you'd be very happy to discuss with a new league. How much truth to these assumptions and, above all, believe Sant'Antimo continue his adventure in A amateur? Everyone knows that, for the reasons mentioned above, relative ad una necessità di rilancio e rafforzamento del progetto e non certo ad un logoramento di rapporti, ancora molto solidi, il sottoscritto sarebbe stato ben felice di partecipare ad un ampliamento del raggio d'azione del lavoro fatto in questi anni. A maggior ragione se ci fosse stata la possibilità di affacciarsi con l'Igea ad un palcoscenico come quello della Legadue e di riportare Napoli e l'hinterland nel settore professionistico. Ma che tutto ciò non si sia determinato non significa automaticamente che questa esperienza cestistica scompaia, vedremo cosa la società porterà avanti e solo in quel momento sarà possibile valutare.
4) Sono parecchi anni ormai che vieni considerato uno dei migliori coach di all the lower division, moreover, of sports results and those obtained in other Sant'Antimo squares speak for you. We heard rumors that they give on different benches, now in Osimo, now in power, perhaps in Ruvo, which seems to set up a squadron. You have already signed for somebody else? personally can not please me the appreciation of my surroundings, my way of thinking is a basketball on the immediacy that favors the project, the references to the "sequins". The coincidence of the two planes, that of planning, of not letting anything to chance, and that of the maximum daily work in the gym has meant they got the results, and therefore there is no lack esteem my concerns. But compared to the names and signatures, it is known that up earlier this week the market was virtually stopped, and that these items remain. Only these days decide my future, there is still no sign.
5) Returning to Sant'Antimo season, this year only bad luck and a great performance Tomasiello last day, we have kept out of the playoffs, forcing a series of fierce dispute with the playout relegated Bartoli Fossombrone. We make an assessment of your season? We started collecting the waiver Sorrentino and Valentini, with two huge physical impact and technical assistance to the category and point guard guard quintet, nearly 30 points in two evenings, plus one on the Crow and the Knights, with men more Dalfin experts. We all took it for very weak, and instead we got just 2 points from a sensational fifth place, despite all the bad luck that Executioner has deprived us of Dalfin together for 2 months and cats that we saw in the last 5 games losing only 2 times, and both the end of two overtime that we were unjustly forced. Can be described as a season like that if not sensational or extraordinary? Besides, I think we showed a very organized basketball, in which the defensive aspect and distribution of responsibility were strongly and positively emphasized
6) The season ended with the promotion of Vigevano and Latin America. In what ways these teams proved to be more ready to jump in class? The Americans, who made the playoffs they know much more than we tend to reward all the teams that reach the final, to analyze separately, independently from the rest of the season, the outcome of these. From this point of view I think it's fair to mention along with Latin and Vigevano, also Siena and Casalpusterlengo. Analyzing all four finalists, one can not help but be impressed by one aspect, ie as they were not the result of the effervescence of their summer transfer market, but by the methodical and concrete in construction, years after year, a team of highly reliable structure. At the end of the field has decreed that Latin Vigevano and deserved the promotion, probably because in one respect stronger physically and mentally, but all four have been awarded multi-annual programming, the ability to build step by step its competitiveness. And that, at the conclusion of my experience in Sant'Antimo, can not leave a shred of regret thinking about where he could be a Igea who had held various County, Tomasiello, Berti, Sorrentino, Valentini, Ndoja, Malamov, Ferrienti, etc. , etc, etc.
7) were promoted to League 2 team to a group, denying once again the speaker di girone nord più attrezzato di quello sud… Qualche anno fa è capitato di peggio: tutti giuravano della superiorità del girone A, ed invece vennero promosse Pistoia e Veroli... la verità è che queste valutazioni pre-season hanno veramente poco significato, o meglio, sono solo "un gioco previsionale" e solo in questa forma debbono essere intesi
8) Da luogo comune a luogo comune. L’incremento degli under ha portato qualcuno a parlare di campionato livellato verso il basso. Eppure una squadra giovane come Siena è arrivata a giocarsi la finale dei playoff con Latina, mentre altre compagine molto giovani ,come Sant’Antimo, non hanno affatto sfigurato. Cosa c’è di vero or wrong in that statement? This is a different issue concerns the unwillingness to look "really" in the face of reality: it was already for years that these teams were well or very well, why not take this into account ...? possible that no one has become aware of the many young people who had dreadfully recorded on this league? Cerella Sorrentino, and Valentini, last year, State and Cinciarini in the previous one, going back, Poet, Vitali, Pinton, Dordea, Spinelli, Cattani, Cotani ... The B1 is this, physical, hunger, and "immature talent" stands out, it increases and not decrease the technical level.
9) The next year will see a team relegated to group, so as to return to the format to 16 teams starting in 2010/2011. Almost guaranteed to remain amateur and the economic crisis may, in your opinion, to push some teams to scale back its budget, drastically bringing down the level of the league? This is a speech far more successful, but it should be dealt with without distinction of fatalism: Sure, it would come out a season contradictory, but only if the limited circulation of money would lead to the teams built with 5, 6 players and the rest to be "set" team "little train", which will play all their chips on a quintet imprescendibile, and then forced to play basketball a slow and predictable, then the technical level actually collapse. But it is not said and is not desirable to go in that direction, who would rather invest their "workout", the daily work, the ability to put up in the summer of teams that are first "practice", assigned to technical enhance the work and know they do not induce passive "single", probably help to keep the highest technical level.
10) tries again, will not you just tell us where to train the next year? You de crock ... where they will need someone who knows more questioning, where there will be a flat enough space to study, to assemble and disassemble video / game ...
