A post offense specialist. On paper, his philosophy appears to fill the holes that Tyrone Corbin had. He carries a special focus on read and react, which is something Ty could never get Al Jefferson to do, and struggled getting this group to do up until devolving into the drive and dish heavy offense at season's end.

His words:
The general idea of the CSKA offensive system that eventually led us to our system of play was the conviction that it is certainly not the set play or playing free that makes the difference in a game. Rather, is was the ability of our players to understand what the defense was doing and to always be conscious of any changes that they were making. Our players must be able to read the defensive behavior of their opponents. Any offense can be original, but if the player on offense is not able to understand what the defense does, he loses effectiveness and our offense slows down. The strength of our offense depends on the options that the players have at their disposal after reading (and attacking) the defense. This special knowledge takes a while to be completely understood by our players.
