Drazen Anzulovic was the top choice of Polish Basketball Federation to manage the National Team, but Croatian coach refused the offer. Former Cibona player and coach didn't want the Poland NT job to complicate to find a chance to manage a club. Jasmin Repesa (recently hired by Benetton) and Ramunas Butautas (free agent since leaving Zalgiris) are now the options for the Polish Federation.

Shocking news from Kaunas: Head coach Ramunas Butautas was asked to resign by Zalgiris owner Vladimir Romanov, along with sporting director Algirdas Brazys, due to the bad results in he last weeks. Butautas arrived to Zalgiris just two months ago to replace Gintaras Krapikas, a few days after resigning as BC Donetsk head coach. The temporary Zalgiris head coach will be, for the second time this season, Darius Maskoliunas. Butautas was considering coaching Polish NT days ago.

Lithuanian coach Ramunas Butautas would consider to coach Poland if the Federation offers him the job. Butautas, now in Zalgiris, was the head coach of the Lithuanian NT who played the last Eurobasket, failing to reach Semi-finals. Polish Federation was also interested in other Lithuanian coaches, Antanas Sireika and Tomas Pacesas, but they both rejected the offer.
