André Mercier and Michel Tissières are people who have worked for a long time for the good development of the USY Basketball. André was for more than 10 years president of the club and was one of the pillars who started the tournament in 1974.
Michel Tissières was an exceptional coach for many years. Recognized for having trained players who became professionals as for example the Louissaint siblings.
André and Michel are honorary members of the USY Basketball club and consequently, it was important for us to associate them with the Landolt Cup.
