NEWSThe Basketball Federation of Serbia & Montenegro (KSSCG) will soon be looking for a new president after current incumbent Miodrag Babic offered his resignation at a recent executive board meeting in Belgrade.
The offer is expected to be accepted by the KSSCG's General Assembly at a meeting later this month. |

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric is fed up with being raked over the coals for Serbia & Montenegro's EuroBasket failure and has blasted coach Zeljko Obradovic for not standing by the players.
A proud hoops nation, hosts for the glamorous event, was left stunned as the two-time defending world champions lost 74-71 in the elimination round and Obradovic revealed afterwards that Jaric's poor relationship with fellow playmaker Igor Rakocevic had been the biggest problem. |
