Oshin Sahakian Lauds Former Iran Basketball Coaches

"We learned a lot also from our previous coaches [Rajko Toroman, Veselin Matic and Memi Becirovic]," Sahakian told FIBA.com.

"Each one brought something new to our basketball and coach Dirk Bauermann in these past weeks, it has been very comfortable. He is a straight to the point person with good teamwork and a defensive oriented philosophy."

"As a player, I can't say much about my coaches, my job is to listen and do whatever any coach tells me and try to be the best at it," he added.

As for having to make adjustments to a new coach, Sahakian said, "I don't think changes affect us much."

"As I said, we got different things from each one of them and increased our level of basketball, had great time and memories with them so I thank them all."
