According to Vatutin, he treats this positively.
“The situation that existed last year was half-hearted: the coaches had to use different combinations of players for matches of various tournaments for no obvious reason,” he noted.
Vatutin explained that the change has almost no effect on the status of domestic players - the limit on the application in the league matches remains the same, the balance of Russians and foreigners in the training process and European competition has not changed.
"At the same time, Russian clubs were able to build deeper compositions, and therefore, increase competitiveness in the Euroleague and Eurocup," he added.
Earlier, Russian national basketball team striker Semyon Antonov, in an interview with Nation News, estimated the defeat in a friendly match with Israel with a score of 71:93.
