Nothing about LiAngelo and LaMelo’s road to glory has been or will be conventional.
Their Lithuanian Head Coach, Virginijus Šeškus, is adding another wrinkle to the drama yet to unfold. Basketball expert Fran Fraschilla is the go to for ESPN on everything overseas. He offered quite the anecdote on what the Ball family is in store for.
Prominant former American player who played for Ball brothers's new coach had some insight on him: 1. Competent coach w/free-wheeling pick-and-roll offense. 2. Speaks no English 3. Screams the entire game. 4. Sold meat out of his car trunk to his players after practice. I swear.

Not sure i’d trust plays from a man moving pork chops from his trunk.
Virginijus Šeškus has also been described as the LaVar Ball of Lithuania after forcing his team to forfeit a game after protesting a questionable call.
Virginijus Seskus, coach of Prienu Vytautas, who is considering signing LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, has been described to me as "the LaVar Ball of Lithuania". Very high energy guy apparently. Loves to get technical fouls. They'll get along great, despite him speaking no english.

All of this will make for a great 30 for 30 one day.
