Snippet:
NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 20 (Yonhap) -- Nikolajs Mazurs lost his first three games in charge of the South Korean men's basketball team after being appointed last December, and the team lost more games than it won under the Latvian coach entering the Asian Games -- causing many to wonder if he was the right man to lead the squad back to glory at the quadrennial event.
