The 54-year-old specialist navigated Baskonia to an 18-16 EuroLeague record and missed out on the playoffs by just one victory. His team suffered an early exit in the ACB playoffs and Copa del Rey.

Baskonia exhibited an eye-catching basketball for EuroLeague fans, averaging 86.7 points and scoring over 100 points on five occasions last season. Baskonia also became the third team ever to score 120 pointsor more in EuroLeague history and the first one in more than 15 years.

Pennaroya's team also shattered the ACB League's all-time single-season three-pointers record after draining 419 triples during the 34 regular-season games. They did it in 1030 attempts, shooting at an impressive 40.7% accuracy.

Penarroya arrived in Vitoria last summer after a one-year stint with Valencia Basket. He is a two-time FIBA Champions League winner with San Pablo Burgos in 2020 and 2021.
