Former NBA agent Matt Babcock has officially announced via Twitter that he's joining the Italian Eurocup side, Virtus Bologna, as a scouting advisor. This will be a return to Bologna for Babcock, who had an experience with the Italian team as an assistant coach fifteen years ago before becoming an agent.

Virtus Bologna is also expected to have in their scouting department Spanish reporter Chema de Lucas. Both of these additions in the scouting department were strongly suggested by the new head coach Sergio Scariolo.

Last season, Virtus Bologna reached the Eurocup semi-finals where they lost against Russian side Unics Kazan.
