Italian basketball coach and now Latvian national hero, Luca Banchi (rendered as 'Luka Banki' in Latvian), has given another interview with Latvian Television in which he talks not only about his recent achievements with the Latvian national men's team, but also about his formative experiences and life values.

The English-language, 12-minute interview – filmed against a swirling, smoky backdrop – is titled 'Life has no bluepint' and available to view above or on the YouTube channel of LTV News.

If you'd like to hear more of Luca, we can also offer this recent interview from LTV's 'One on One' show.
