The new coach's profile:
Demis Cavina was born in Castel San Pietro Terme on 11 September 1974 and took his first steps as a basketball player in his hometown. He began coaching in the youth sector of GS Castel San Pietro at just 16 years old, the same club that gave him the bench of the B23 series at the age of 97 (98/2). The good season will earn him the call of the ambitious Progresso Castel Maggiore with which he will win the B2 championship (98/99) and the B1 championship (99/00), landing among the professionals the following year (00/01). at just 26 years old. The golden three-year period is followed by a parenthesis in Serie A with Roseto (01/02) and the subsequent return to the cadetteria at AB Latina (02/03 and 03/04) where they are hit for the first time by the club, in the B1 series , the playoffs.
He returns to Legadue in Imola (04/05 and 05/06) where the salvation of the first year is followed by fifth place and the final lost to Scafati in the Final Four in Ferrara. After another good season in Fabriano (06/07) he moved to Sassari (07/8 and 08/09) with which he achieved the Cup Final Four and the play offs already in the first year (which the Sassari team had been missing for a while now dozen years) after a regular season always played at the top and finishing in third place, while in second the epic and unexpected ride stops in the final promotion with Soresina. In Udine (09/10) he was entrusted with the Snaidero project and with seven athletes trained in Friuli and with a very young average age, the historically orange team managed to qualify for the play offs. In Veroli (10/11 and 11/12) the League Cup was won in the Final Four held in Novara while in the play-off semi-final against Venice the Ciociaria team had to surrender after 5 hard-fought battles. The second season lasted just five games and in the following year he was back in the running with Scafati (12/13) with whom he qualified for the play offs again. Last championship he coached in Naples until the first day of the return round.
