Coach career



Radnički


Vasojević coached the men's team of Radnički Belgrade during 1970s. In 1977, Radnički reached the Cup Winners' Cup Finals where they lost to Forst Cantù by a single point margin, 86–87.[1]



Women's national team


The arrival of Vasojević as a head coach of the Yugoslavia women's national team in 1980 was almost revolutionary move. The greatest achievements of our women’s Yugoslav national team were to follow. On his debut at the 1980 European Championship in Banja Luka, Vasojević won the bronze medal, and only one month later the same success was achieved at the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow.[2][3]


The change of generations took place under Vasojević. He offered an opportunity to the younger players he fully believed in such as Anđelija Arbutina, Danira Nakić, Razija Mujanović, Jelica Komnenović, Olivera Krivokapić, Bojana Milošević, Slađana Golić.


At the 1987 Summer Universiade held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia won the gold medal, the only gold ever in women’s senior international competitions. The same year, at the European Championship in Cadiz, Yugoslavia won silver in a tough final game against the Soviet Union which ended with a 73:83 win of the Soviet girls.[2]


The 1988 Summer Olympic Games in Seoul were the crown of one splendid generation. A memorable moment of the semi-final game against Australia is a score of Anđelija Arbutina one second before the game end (57:56) for a place in the Olympic finals. The final game for the Olympic gold against a powerful United States national team ended with a 70:77 win of the American girls, but the Yugoslavs showed all their talent and strongly resisted the USA team until the very end of the game.[2]



Hemofarm


Vasojević was the first director of basketball club Hemofarm from Vršac takes office in 1995.
