On Thursday, M. Balčiūnas addressed the current state of basketball in Lithuania during a public webcast hosted by the Lithuanian sports channel, “Lietuvos krepšinis.” Following the webcast, P. Motiejūnas publicly offered a critical reaction in the comments section.
Motiejūnas commented on the state of the sport, questioning the current generation’s commitment, stating, “How did we make such philosophers and dilute our religion’s banner-carriers. 0 responsibility, 0 ambition, 0 understanding of reality…”
The news also covered several other developments within Lithuanian basketball. It was reported that M.
Wright would not be playing in Barcelona, having opted for a different club within the Lithuanian national team setup. Additionally, the future of R. Kurtinaičio was noted as uncertain, with it suggested that the players would speak for themselves regarding his role.
There was also discussion about which coaches might be positioned to take over from R. Kurtinaičio. The following day, M.
Balčiūnas, who was expected to respond to the criticism leveled against him, also made a public announcement, resigning from his role. His resignation occurred after the initial discussion about the sport’s direction.
