But I will say that part of the reason I think they did it was because the general manager, Zach Kleiman, like really, really likes this guy, Tuomas Izalo, who's the Finnish guy who they, who they hired as an assistant. And I, like, it was like, it's kind of a crazy story. Like he said, He did in Europe kind of what's the football coach from Indiana? Signetti?

And then this team in Paris, Paris basket, who's kind of like a big team, but they're kind of like an underdog, even though they're in a big city, they don't have a ton of money and they've, they've just done. Okay. So they hired him and he brought six players from that German team to his Paris team. Cause in Europe, it's, It's kind of like college right now.

They were obsessed with hiring him. Um, the, the wizards wanted to hire him and there was like a bidding war. Plus he was under contract for Paris basket and they had to pay, buy out his contract. It is more, I talk about the more it feels like college basketball and they get them to come over to be this lead assistant. And I think.
