ISTANBUL, June 23 (Reuters) - David Blatt has moved on from being unceremoniously fired as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and, days after his former NBA team won a championship without him, said he is focused on his return to European basketball.
Blatt, a well-respected and accomplished international coach who joined Turkish professional team Darussafaka this month, is eager to rekindle the success from when he last coached in Europe in 2014 and led Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Euroleague title.
"Well I have in the past so I hope I can succeed again," Blatt said on Thursday when asked if he could bring a Euroleague title to the club.
