Interview with Don, Hungarian coach

My congratulations on your recent World Cup gold. The big contenders seemed like a bit out of form during the tournament. The final game against the Cinderella - Chile - wasn't that easy, no? 


Thank You, It is a great honor to our country!
It was interesting to see top contenders are getting into a harder and harder situation and than many were out before the elimination phase.
The Final was not as easy, we know from earlier stage Chile is hard opponent.


You won against Chile already in the earlier part of the tournament. Did that game give you any clues on how to play the final?


TBH I was wondering in-between two tactics before the game, based on what I could see I may choose the other if we would play again.


The Final itself was a different story than the group stage game. You were leading right from the opening. Chilean starplayer Cox had a terrific game, but that just wasn't enough to overcome the Hungarian teamplay. Did everything work out out there on the field? 


I would not say so. I think we were in charge in most of our game on the road to the Final; usually it went according to the plans, except in the Final. We just could not handle Cox.
Believe me we were well prepared from their team and he were in that “core” we really wanted to stop, but we just could not.
Cox had a terrific game, you are right, but check the stats of Chile without him. That is something I wanted to achieve.


Which teams disappointed you the most? 


I think it just would not be fair to point out any Nation Team or manager. Those country were not satisfied, had a good chance to make a change.. 


How did the Hungarian community react on your success? And why have you decided to run for coaching once again? You have pwnd Mike Tyson on the way! xD  


That was amazing how many peopled cheered to the NT and me. Activity on the forum and so many PM was great to read.
Winning Senior WC after the U18 WC title gave confident to many Hungarian managers and showed them we may do it right. It is the result of the community what created beautiful players and most of them spent many seasons in top leagues of Hungarian divisions, I think it was key in success, as several special player could be created according to NT coach requests.



What's the goal this time? Your team core seems still young enough to compete for the title. 


I agree this team is still not old, can improve and give one more try (before the major ME changes) get to the top 8, and there anything can happens, hopefully we will fight in the Final in 2 seasons time again J 


Do you focus on the NT now? What about your club team? 


After local success with my private team and not getting far enough on the international level I made my choice to turn to youth again, so I needed a real challenge in parallel, this time Senior National Team s likely the best I could choose J 


Let us know the best starting five in CBM you could dream of.


The one that won WC title is likely the best team, with the best starting five <:o) 


Recently, the devs served us a lot of changes. What do you think about them? 


There was many heated discussion about this on our local forum. AS result of that too I think the changes are not bad, but not in the right time and not in the right way of published.
Many manager realized the importance of defend, than a few were shouting it is going to be a real problem (Hungarian divisions are still one of the most def oriented ones and look at the scores they are achieving..), if this decision was made a few seasons earlier much less team would feel about this as a harsh change.


What do you think about the new game engine? 


I not even tested it and won’t until there is a clear timeline when it will be implemented. On the other hand I still guess it is more a “cosmetic” change in the character of a player, than a major one. 


Now something about you - what's your name, how old are you, where are you from, what do you do? 


I’m 34, a proud father of a little girl, who is just 5 month old now; working for a well known EMS company as part of the medium management. 



Basketball isn't that much popular in Hungary, no? Are you interested in any other sport? 


It isn’t but still have many supporters and we have a few good result even on European level especially for women.
As many other man in Hungary I also a fun of football and Formula 1


The NBA Playoffs have just started. Chicago have lost Rose already - who knows if not together with the champion title. Who's going to win the rings this time?


I don’t follow it as detailed as I did it years ago, but I think OKC or MIA can fight for the title and big three may lose once again! 


How did you get to know about CBM? 


Haha, it was long ago, I was playing with football manager game what was introduced by a friend of mine, where someone highlighted CBM and I decided to give it a try. The funny part is that I finished to play with that a long ago CBM, remained the only I still playing with. 


Have you got any advises for new users? 

Ask for advice from more experienced user, mentor system is a good way, if they use it; and maybe the most important to set up a proper expectation to their own team. This is not just something where you can achieve success in a few months; this is a manager game about basketball, where you have to plan ahead.

Thanks for the interview. 


My pleasure, hope to talk to you in 2 seasons time J
