EuroLeague President Dejan Bodiroga said goodbye to legendary coach Duško Vujošević, who passed away today at the age of 68, noting that basketball has lost one of its most important experts.
"European and Serbian basketball have lost one of the most passionate minds and most dedicated teachers. Vujošević was a man of basketball, a mentor and a symbol of integrity and dedication to the game. His influence shaped generations of players and coaches, leaving an indelible mark on our sport," Bodiroga said, as reported by Euroleague.
He extended his condolences to family, friends and everyone who had the opportunity to work with Vujošević.
