Randy Wiel has been slightly more than four years head-coach of EiffelTowers, In that period, EiffelTowers became twice Dutch Champion (2006 and 2007) and won the Dutch Cup (2008).
About the replacement of Wiel, Vogelaar is very clear. 'The search for Wiel's successor would begin immediately but we gave no timetable for naming a coach'

Amsterdam - Israel 65:64
Avis Wyatt (211-F/C-84, agency: Elfus-Siegel Management (ESM), college: Virginia St.) scored 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds to lead EclipseJet Amsterdam to a narrow win over Israel in the Haarlem Basketball Week tournaments Final. Amsterdam won all of their five games at the competition and deservedly claimed the prize. Israel did not manage to avenge the loss to Amsterdam at the group stage. The visitors lost their leader Omri Casspi (204-F/G-88, agency: Interperformances) with just eight minutes gone in the encounter and failed to deliver when it needed the most.
The teams traded baskets throughout the opening frame with neither side able to take over. The scoreboard read 19:19 after ten minutes of action. The second term was a defensive battle with the teams combining for just 24 points. Amsterdam managed to secure a 32:30 lead at the interval. Amsterdam jumped to the biggest lead of the game late in the third stanza when they were up by 11 points 47:36. But Elishay Kadir (203-F-87, agency: Avi Zilberman) allowed Israel to enter the fourth stanza trailing by only 2 points. Amsterdam maintained the lead and succeeded in the highly contestant dying minutes of the game.
Teddy Gipson (193-G/F-80, agency: 540 Sports, college: Arkansas) produced 18 points, 10 boards and 5 assists for Amsterdam. Orien Greene (193-G-82, agency: Arik Krayn Services, college: La-Lafayette), CC Harrison (194-G-76, agency: Court Side, college: N.Carolina St.) and Victor Thomas (201-F-79, college: La Salle) all finished with 8 points each in the victory. Elishay Kadir and Yogev Ohayon (189-G-87, agency: Interperformances) answered with 16 points apiece for Israel. Kukia had 10 points and 8 boards in the losing case.
Amsterdam: Avis Wyatt 21, Teddy Gipson 18+10 boards
