Tuomas Iisalo becomes youngest EuroLeague winning coach

On March 31, 28-year-old Tuomas Iisalo became the youngest head coach in EuroLeague history to win a game. In his debut as Paris head coach, Iisalo led the team to a 103-82 away victory against Virtus Bologna. During the match, Paris set a season record with 42 three-point attempts and converted 19 of them, marking the second-highest tally of the season behind Maccabi Tel Aviv. Despite Iisalo leading a squad where ten players are 28 or older, his debut was marked by a lighthearted post-match celebration where players doused him in water. The victory was dedicated to his predecessor, Francesco Tabellini, who departed the French club on March 23. This game marked Iisalo's first official match since assuming the head coaching position.
