Pallacanestro Reggiana is mourning the loss of Piero Pasini, the team's historic coach, who died today at the age of 82. Pasini was one of the most respected coaches in Italian basketball, with a long and successful career. In the 1987/88 season, Pasini led Pallacanestro Reggiana to promotion to Serie A1, after the previous year's relegation. He achieved a promotion that was a fundamental step in the growth of the club. Pasini won four promotions to the top men's division, including those achieved with Rimini, Brindisi, and Reggio Emilia. So, his passing leaves a void in the basketball world. Pallacanestro Reggiana remembered Pasini as a coach who contributed to building the team's path towards stability in the top division. But, his legacy lives on in the team's history. The white and red club expressed condolences and closeness to Pasini's family. Pasini was honored by the National Basketball League during the Italian Cup Final Four held in Rimini, receiving a tribute from the public and professionals for a career that lasted almost half a century. And, his impact on the team will not be forgotten. Pasini's coaching career was marked by numerous successes, including a championship and a Champions Cup won with Vicenza in women's basketball. He was a true basketball legend, and his passing will be deeply felt by the basketball community.
