editThis article is very poorly written. Parts of it read like a press bio written by this guy's publicist, or something along those self-congratulatory lines. It's full of bold, sweeping statements that have absolutely no basis in reality. Gherardini is one of the hundreds of similar people who worked on basketball's popularization in Europe - to heap these amounts of praise on him personally is ridiculous.
Things are even exaggerated in the NBA trailblazing context. Before he began interviewing and eventually got his NBA gig, there were already two European assisstant coaches in the NBA (Igor Kokoškov and Aleksandar Dzikic), and a couple of other well-known European coaches came very close to getting NBA head coaching jobs (Dusan Ivkovic and Ettore Messina). Perhaps Gherardini was this significant in a strictly Italian basketball context, but outside of that country he's barely even known.65.95.236.155 15:07, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
