G - Money Back to Koszalin ! - Just a day before we learned that Dallas Lauderdale's rookie playing days would take place in Poland, news broke about another Buckeye who is planning to resume his extensive career in the same country. On July 27, Polish league club AZS Koszalin proudly announced the re-signing of Buckeye veteran George Reese for what will be his 5th straight season in Koszalin!

In a spring poll on Koszalin's official website, fans of the club voted George Reese as the top player in team history. Reese has been the model of consistency for Koszalin by routinely helping them to several playoff appearances, a Polish Cup Championship in 2010 as well as representing the club in multiple All-Star Games (Reese finished as the 5th best scorer in Poland last season with 16 points a game).

AZS Koszalin 2011/2012 - Like many international teams, the team makeup of Koszalin will be slightly or maybe even significantly different form last year. Benchman Tomasz Herkt will take the reigns as the new head coach from Mariusz Karol. And fellow American imports Grady Reynolds and Winsome Frazier were replaced with J.J. Montgomery and Marshall Strickland of Indiana University. Despite these roster changes, Koszalin's starting lineup will still feature the consummate pro that is George Reese at Forward and Poland's top assist man Igor Milicic at point guard.
