Gert Kullamäe's remark: this is not criticism of the basketball federation or the team

Gert Kullamäe's comments regarding the Estonian basketball team's performance have sparked discussions but he clarified that they were not intended as criticism.

The recent loss of the Estonian national basketball team in the World Cup qualifiers against Sweden has raised questions about their home performance over the years. Former player and current coach Gert Kullamäe suggested that perhaps the entire team should not gather at the hotel on game day as they have been doing. His remarks, made during a live broadcast on Go3, have prompted a fair amount of discussion within the basketball community.

Kullamäe commented on his observations saying that thinking out loud is part of his hobby as he is heavily involved in basketball both as a coach and a podcast host. He explained that basketball occupies a significant part of his life as he is currently an assistant coach in Pärnu and has family members who also play the sport. He asserted that while he shares these thoughts, they are based on logic and his personal experiences in the game.

The dialogue surrounding Kullamäe's comments underscores a greater concern within the Estonian basketball community about the team's strategies and preparations leading up to important matches. As Kullamäe echoes sentiments from his time playing for the national team two decades ago, there is a yearning for improvement and better performance on home turf, indicating a larger need for reflection and potential changes in team dynamics.
