Another mourning hits the world of Sardinian basketball. Tonio Musio , a coach from Cagliari with a long history in various teams in the south of the island, has passed away at the age of 73.

Musio's career is indelibly linked to the parable of Sulcispes Sant'Antioco , which he led from the Promotion up to Serie C in the 1980s, bringing with him several promising young players from his other basketball homeland: Esperia Cagliari . In the Granata youth sector, Musio reaped many satisfactions, taking care - alongside Paolo Manca - of the growth of players who went on to make the fortunes of the first team. Among these, Stefano Pillosu.

Furthermore, in his career there was also women's basketball, especially with Virtus Cagliari . And it was always in the world of basketball that he met his wife Milly Montecuccuo, L'Aquila's pivot for many years.

«We are losing a respectable person and a great sportsman», says the president of FIP Sardinia, Tore Serra, «the whole of our basketball family will miss him».
