In Wittman's 4 years here, the team ranked 5th, 8th, 5th and 14th in the league defensively. He was honestly the only coach to get the team to buckle down and play like a professional franchise.
They went to the 2nd round two years in a row, and in the 2nd year, they should have made it to the ECF's if not for Wall breaking his hand.
It started falling off in Wittman's final year. They went 41-41 despite pretty good health except for Beal missing 27 games. I think they started tuning Wittman out. So ultimately, I don't mind the decision to move off of Wittman. Brooks took the same team (minus Nene) to 49 wins and a 7-game 2nd round loss to Boston in the following season. After that, Gortat started to decline, Wall got hurt, and that was it.

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade had an easy evening against Hercegovac and comfortably made it to the Serbian Cup (Radivoj Korac Mozzart Cup) semi-finals. The Serbian second-league outfit competed with the reigning ABA champs only in the first half, before the EuroLeague side prevailed by 92-67.
The top scorer for Zeljko Obradovic's team was Tristan Vukcevic with 15 points (3/3 2-point shooting, 3/6 3-point shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers), with Balsa Koprivica adding 13 plus 14 rebounds, and Zach LeDay another 12.
Partizan thus completed the semi-finals of the Korac Cup in Nis, where they will face Vojvodina. The second semi-final pair consists of Crvena Zvezda and Cacak 94.
"It was a great game. We had a bad start, but we picked up in the second half," Vukcevic commented after the contest.
However, coach Zeljko Obradovic did not agree with the young wingman.
"My player was watching another game," he reacted.
"It wasn't good, we didn't play well. I would like to congratulate our opponents on everything they have done so far and wish them the best of luck in all the games and competitions."
However, Obradovic praised Vukcevic for his good game, and he was especially pleased with Balsa Koprivica's performance. The talented big man finished with a PIR of 27 and was named the game's MVP.
"They both played a good game, especially Balsa," Obradovic commented.
"He was outstanding in the last game in the ABA league against Igokea, and apart from 1-2 situations, he did everything else at a high level. He became aware of his quality and of how much he can help the team.
Tristan is a good player offensively, even defensively in certain moments better than before and that is encouraging. The first quarter was not at that level, but everything else, I have no complaints. I would like us to look even better," the 63-year-old tactician concluded.
