Göttingen in the BBL crisis: coach Foucart goes hard with a team!

Göttingen, Deutschland - The current Situation in German basketball is truly challenging for BG Göttingen. Coach Olivier Foucart has a reason to worry, because his team did not achieve a victory in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) after four games. The previous defeats were sometimes drastic: two games were lost with 28 points and one with 29 points. Only a defeat with only 14 points against the Euroleague starters from FC Bayern Munich could be described as "honorable". This record throws a shadow on the 16th season of the violets in the highest league of German basketball.

The only positive this season should be the victory in the cup round of round against Würzburg. The team secured a place in the quarter -finals, where they will meet again at Frankfurt. But this success can hardly cover up the general depression in view of the league services. The pressure is growing, and the question of how to proceed is in the room. All the more, the performance of the players and their individual development is viewed critically.

Analysis of team services

trainer Foucart has found that his team lacks consistency and, above all, the necessary aggressiveness. "We are often missing these properties," was his clear analysis. This was particularly evident in the recent game against Ludwigsburg, where the Göttingen were visibly inferior in the physical duel. "In the first half we were defensively okay, but in the attack we could not do the opponent's pressure well. The ball movement was insufficient and disappointing," he summed up. Despite the promising training sessions and positive approaches in the previous games, the team did not get into the desired river.

The newcomers Kostja Mushidi and Tra Holder have integrated well into the team, but still need time to adapt. The internal assessment shows that overall nobody has been able to meet the expectations so far. Foucart remains optimist and emphasizes that it is not due to the quality of the players. However, it is surprising that many fans, some of whom cannot make friends with this view.

The game days of the past few weeks were characterized by further setbacks - the disqualification of Jarred Godfrey, which was only 7:26 minutes on the field, was another deep blow in an already difficult match. Foucart emphasized that players have to act "more intelligently" at such moments, but an internal punishment for Godfrey is currently not planned. This fact illuminates the challenges within the team - not only on the floor, but also in the discipline.

to get your head free, Foucart plans a training break for the coming days: "Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are free. Maybe that will help to recharge your batteries again." Then intensive training sessions should take place to improve the shape. "We have to stay calm and work systematically," added the trainer to illustrate his philosophy and long -term plan.

In the overall view of the BBL, there are further abnormalities. The problems at Alb Berlin are also joining the challenges of Göttingen, which can also be found in the table. These developments are surprising and illustrate the unpredictability of the league. In another game of the past week, FC Bayern Munich, another Euroleague participant, lost to MBC. This shows that even big teams have to struggle with difficulties.

Rasta Vechta, the direct competitor of the Göttinger, has now launched personnel changes to react to injuries and departures. The introduction of new players could also be an impulse for them. This dynamic within the league shows that nothing is safe and the situation for every club can change quickly.
