I appears Lubos is done at Valpo.  Returning home to coach his national team.

Lubos will be missed. He will never be forgotten.

Go kick butt, Lubos, on the international stage.

I will always wish Lubos the best. Great Valpo player throughout his four years. Further, he started his career by referring to the Hoosier Dome as "big as Czech airport" and finished his career with the most heartfelt, rambling, disjointed and long senior day speech I have ever heard.

Looks like their university age team again, but congrats overall!  Hopefully he gets a shot at coaching their senior national team someday, as he is probably one of Czechia's best basketball players of all time, similar to what Joaquim Kikas Gomes is to Angola.  I saw recently that Kikas was an Ambassador at the African basketball team draw.
