A lot has been written about Tomas Satoransky’s experience (and, sometimes, frustrations) with the coaching staff as his role has changed on the Washington Wizards. However, we rarely talk about how his role as a key player with the Czech Republic has shaped his development into the player he is now.
Much of that guidance has come from Ronen (Neno) Ginzburg, the head coach of the Czech Republic national team. Like most national team coaches, he visits and touches base with his international (and domestic) players throughout the year. Recently, I was fortunate enough to sit down and interview Ginzburg during his annual visit to Washington.
