Did You Know?

Do you know Igor kokoskov? How Well?

Igor -Stefan Kokoškov (Serbian Cyrillic: Игор Стефан Кокошков) became the youngest coach in Yugoslavian basketball history shortly after suffering serious injuries sustained during an automobile accident that ended a promising playing career.

-Kokoskov coached various club teams in Belgrade and was on the coaching staff of the Yugoslav (now Serbia) men's and junior national teams.

-His savvy, ambitious nature and command of the English language were factors when he was hired by the University of Missouri as a part of their coaching staff in 1999, the first European to be holding that position in NCAA Division I.

-The following year, Kokoskov became the first non-American to be hired in the NBA, as a full-time assistant coach, by the Los Angeles Clippers. In 2003 he joined the Detroit Pistons staff of coach Larry Brown.

-Kokoskov is a graduate from the University of Belgrade.(wikipedia.com)
