Buducnost opts for Mijovic as head coach

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica announced Sunday that Petar Mijovic will remain its head coach in the upcoming season. Mijovic, 41, took over Buducnost bench in the finish of last season, and guided the team to the Adriatic League semifinals and Montenegrin League title. He has a 9-11 coaching record in the EuroCup.

This is Mijovic's third stint with the club. He coached Buducnost youth categories in 2017 and 2018, before being promoted to the first team, first as an assistant coach, then to head coach in April of 2019. Even though the club did not keep him as coach for the following season, he was already back on the bench in October 2019 and remained Buducnost head coach until leaving in January 2021. During those two stints he helped Buducnost win the Montenegrin League title in 2019 and lifted the Montenegrin Cup trophy in 2020.

Mijovic started his head coaching career with Podgorica. After a season as Chorale Roanne's assistant coach, Mijovic coached Zeta 2011 Golubovci of Montenegro, Bashkimi Prizren and Sigal Prishtina of Kosovo, Slask Wroclaw of Poland and Atomeromu in Hungary.

2023-24 EuroCup Draw criteria and procedure

**The first official act of the 2023-24 EuroCup comes your way on Friday, July 7, with the annual draw to divide the 20 participating teams into two regular season groups. The draw will begin at 13:15 CEST and can be followed live here on the competition's official website as well as via** [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/euroleague)**,** [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Eurocup) **and** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/TheEuroCup/)**.**

The draw will be held based on the teams' seeds.

• The 20 qualified teams will be divided into 10 seeds with two teams in each, in accordance with the Club Ranking.

• The performance of teams in Euroleague Basketball competitions during a three year period will be used for the ranking. Each club will get 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie or loss from the regular season onwards. 2 bonus points are allocated for reaching the last 16, 2 bonus points are allocated for reaching the last 8, 1 bonus point is allocated for reaching the last 4, 1 bonus point is allocated for reaching the Finals. The Club Ranking consists of the sum of the club coefficients from the last three years. The results of the worst performing team from each country/league will be added together every year to create a position for that country/League in the Club Ranking. This is the lowest possible position that any club from that country/League can occupy in the draw.

• If two or more teams have the same Club Ranking, the tie will be resolved by the total number of wins during the three year period. Should a tie persist, the final standings in the EuroLeague and if necessary EuroCup from the previous season will be used to break the tie. Should a tie persist, the final standings in the domestic championship from the previous season (after the playoffs) will be used to break the tie. Should a tie persist, a draw will be used to break the tie, with the Company determining the method for the draw.

• The first two teams from the Club Ranking participating in the regular season will be 1 Seeds, the next two 2 Seeds, the next two 3 Seeds, the next two 4 Seeds, and so on until the 10 Seeds are completed.

### GROUP DRAW RESTRICTION

The restriction when drawing the teams into groups is the following:

• Two teams from the same domestic league cannot coincide in the same regular season group, except when there are more than two teams from the same domestic league participating in the regular season. In this case, the draw will try to balance the amount of representatives in each group until it is physically impossible to preserve the Group Draw Restrictions without blocking the draw.

### GROUP DRAW PROCEDURE

• Teams will be drawn one by one from an urn containing only teams in the same Seed, from the 1 Seeds through to the 10 Seeds, until all 20 teams have been selected.

• The first team drawn will be allocated in the Group A and therefore, the other team in the seed will be allocated in Group B.

• In case of a country restriction, either team can be directly allocated in one group so the other team in the seed will be allocated in the other group.

• A team may be placed directly into a group to follow the restriction mentioned above.

Drawing the teams as explained above will eliminate all possibilities of a blocked situation.
