The last couple of days were very busy for Cypriot basketball as BMC AEK Larnaca signed their first two international players for the next season; the Cyprus Basketball Federation announced which teams will represent the country in the FIBA competitions, while at the same time Michalis Tsangaridis was elected as the new president of the Cyprus Coaches Association.
The Larnaca team agreed terms with two American players, Ronald Alexander and Jerome Coleman, for the upcoming season. The 25-year old center Alexander is familiar with Cypriot basketball as he played one game for BMC AEK in the previous season. In the fourth round of the season Alexander started the game against Keravnos Strovolos played at the Kition Athletic Center and he managed to score 16 points and grab seven rebounds in 33 minutes on the floor. However, the contract he had previously signed with Anibal Zahle team in Lebanon prevented him from staying in Cyprus. On the other hand, the guard Jerome Coleman started last season in the Hungarian top league side Szolnoki Olajbanyasz, but in January he moved to BS Odessa in Ukraine where he averaged over 14 points per game in 24 games.
The Cyprus Basketball Federation announced that the national champions Sea Star APOEL will directly advanced to the group stage of the FIBA EuroChallenge, while the national cup holders Proteas EKA AEL and Keravnos Strovolos will have to battle their way through the qualifications. The draw for the competition will be held on Wednesday, July 8 in Barcelona, Spain. The national womens double holders, K.V. Imperial AEL, will take part in the FIBA EuroCup Women with high aspirations to reach further than last seasons eight-final.
Michalis Tsangaridis was elected as the new president of the Cyprus Coaches Association that was held in Nicosia last weekend. The head coach of K.V. Imperial AEL, Linos Gavril, was elected as the vice president, while the Sea Star APOELs assistant coach Nicos Lambrias is the new secretary. Gavril and Lambrias were also the assistants to Christos Stylianides in the mens national team at the recently finished XIII Games of the Small States of Europe.
The president of the Cyprus Basketball Federation, Giorgos Chrisostomou, congratulated Tsangaridis on his election: On behalf of the members of administrative council, the director and me personally, I would like to congratulate you upon your election as the new president of the Cyprus Coaches Association. We wish you all success and also to fulfill all of your objectives in which you will have the full support of the federation. SOURCE: www.cybasketball.com
