He was outsmart, outplayed and outclassed by opponent coach Emil Rajkovic, who did a better job in leading his team to the first ever tittle in macedonian championship for the team from Kavadarci. Coach Kadija made couple really bad decisions in the last minutes of the game, and he was mainly accused by many about the final loss, which cost the team from Strumica the championship title. There are already some speculations that Kadija may leave the team as too many fans blame him for the loss. After every defeat, Kadija blamed the referees, and he never looked back at his work. Kadija acted in a very unprofessional manner refusing to make the post-game interview with the media. It's understandable to get very upset as the game was very close. But that's not an excuse to such rude behaviour. The MVP of the game was American center Donald Cole of Feni Indistrija, who had 34 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. He had great help coming from international guard Goran Samardziev (188-G-81) (15), U.S. guard Taliek Brown (186-G-82, agency: Octagon, college: Connecticut) (11) and forward Marjan Gjurov (201-F-80) (10). Strumica was lead by forward Dimtche Tasovski (202-F-80) (22), guard Eftim Bogoev (185-G-80) (20) and Serbian Miljan Pupovic (210-C/F-83, agency: Interperformances) (16).
