The board of the Latvian Basketball Association has confirmed that the head coach of the Latvian national men's basketball team Ainars Bagatskis will stay on as head coach at least until the end of the 2017 European Men's Basketball Championships, the LBA informed.

The board reviewed the performance of the Latvian squad at this year's Olympic qualifiers, where Latvia was knocked out by Puerto Rico.


The board recommended Bagatskis to make some changes in his coaching staff and preparation process in the future.


The LBA also pointed out that high goals will be put forward for Latvia at the 2017 European Men's Basketball Championships.


As reported, Latvia defeated Japan and the Czech Republic at the Olympic qualifiers in Belgrade earlier this month, but lost to Puerto Rico in the knockout stage.
