The timing seems perfect. Yet the thinkers and leaders of the basketball lights do not fall into blind euphoria. Whatever is said, the silver, brought from Lithuania, should not disrupt the practice of the third team sport in France. In the short term at least. However, it will clear the horizon merit. And open "a royal road," the federation president, Jean-Pierre Siutat. The objective of this compendious: capitalize on the long term.
"This award comes at the right time, but you can not catch fire. We want to first give a linear activity strong, reliable and that the results," says Jean-Pierre de Vincenzi, the current director General FFBB. Unlike other large nations (Russia, Lithuania or Greece), France will not have to go through the famous Olympic Qualifying Tournament, an event difficult to prepare and even more to play, just three weeks before the ceremony Opening the Olympic Stadium in London in July. "We are qualified directly for London, a year before the Games is a very good thing." Experience has already been known in 1999-2000. In Sydney, the band Laurent Sciarra and Antoine Rigaudeau had come up against in the finals on American untouchable. With this level of runner, basketball lights had not been able to ride the wave, the post-Olympic turn have not necessarily been well negotiated. The men and things have changed. This time, no question of shooting himself in the foot.
"The image of the France team is the bearer of Olympic hopefuls for one year. The French basketball is on a different path. Everything unfolds before us," said "JPDV". "This gives us a head start to make a background work, preparing for the Games, but also in sports to find partnerships." The FFBB, which aims, like Germany, Italy and Croatia, the organization of Euro 2015, hopes to work in serenity. It would also not be surprised by the phenomenon if it is growing. To date, with approximately 465,000 licensees, is the second basketball team sport behind football in France. This hierarchy will not be questioned. "This award brings the value of the craze. In today's society, people are interested in what wins in that glitters", says Vincent Collet, the coach of the Blues. "This medal may have an impact on young people who want to feel the ball orange. After the problem is whether the 4500 clubs are able to accommodate them," Siutat nuance.
The past has shown that the number of graduates do not necessarily climb after a well known result. In 2003, years which saw the Blues missed qualifying for the Athens Olympics, a record increase of 3.5% was felt. The reason? The first NBA title with Tony Parker San Antonio Spurs. And nothing else. The revolution will not be immediate. In any case, the federation leaders look beyond, over several years. "For this to continue, you will have to try to have a persistence of contact with the public and players. It is not necessary that this silver medal is a" one-shot, "says Collet." Like of handball, one has to endure all that. In my opinion, this will be more complicated because our sport is much more competitive. "
To grow, basketball needs visibility. "In France, competition is severe, especially with football. But do not lament. You just have to work and continue to obtain such results. At one point, it will pay," warns Collet. For that, shelters need to change. "Basketball should be seen in theaters, such as Kaunas, which offers 17 000 seats. As in the NBA. This is something that makes our sport could grow with the arrival of new sponsors." Ultimately, the lockout in the NBA, if maintained, should give more credit to the championship of France. The coach of the Blues is calling for: "I hope that Nicolas Batum join Nancy, Boris Diaw will play in Bordeaux, may help create the buzz and allow the basketball out of the shadows. C is the time for that. "
