Iz ovog intervjua stvarno sve pozitivno i kako bi trebalo da i naš savez vode, ali mi bode oči da je nama glavni play Ukić dok Slovencima Dragić koji još igra u NBA i mlađi je godinu dana od Ukića je u reprezentativnoj mirovini.

Evo sve je Rašo lijepo objsanio u par recenica ispod, kako se vodi savez sa strukom, analizom i jasnom vizijom, bez nekih emocionalnih eskapada:
- postavis cilj i analiziras kakvu ekipu imas
- objektivno procjenis gdje su deficiti ekipe i gdje ne mozes parirati konkurentima (a ne srat kako si bio vazan '86.)
- nadjes legalni nacin i igraca koji pomaze u ostvarenju postavljenog cilja
- razmotris utjecaj "stranog tijela" na ekipu, i biras karakter i kvalitetu koja je komplementarna sa glavnim igracima i podize ekipu na visu razinu
- razgovaras sa glavnom zvijezdom / nositeljima igre sto oni zele i slazu li se s tom odlukom
- What was the process of bringing Mike Tobey to the team?
- Before we had Jordan Morgan, but unfortunately he got injured. So we had to find somebody else...
- You had only two months for it...
- Three weeks, actually (laughs). The point for us, if you have 11 good guys, you have to give them one piece, that can help them achieve the goal. We thought Mike would be a perfect fit. He's a young great player with a great personality. Unfortunately, we're not like Lithuania or Serbia, which has great centers. We still wait for our kids to grow up (smiles). Mike is a great guy and we're thankful that we got him there. There is not even one thing that we regret.
- How do you try to find that missing piece? Where does it start?
- Firstly you probably watch basketball qualities, but we, our federation, decide on a personality. If you can't have the best player in the world, if his personality doesn't match and fit with 11 other guys and coaches, that makes no sense. Because you're going to bring one guy who's going to break the other eleven. And the other eleven will isolate him, so it doesn't work like that.
We always try to fit and we were very lucky with all three guys (Anthony Randolph, Jordan Morgan, Mike Tobey). They're great people. Everybody knows basketball, but they're great unbelievable people. It's an honor and luck to meet them and work with them.
- Was it Klemen Prepelic who offered his name first?
- Maybe him, but we knew that Luka is going to come, so we needed somebody to fit us. We didn't need somebody who is trying to have the ball all the time. But somebody who can follow what Luka does and outside shooters do.
He's a good shooter, big body and he has experience of FIBA tournaments since he was in the FIBA U19 World Championships. So it's not like FIBA competition is something new to him.
And some feeling. When you watch the guy, you have some feelings and instincts about how it will fit the team.
