Ćosić then brought Bodiroga for a week-long basketball camp in Zadar and eventually persuaded Bodiroga’s family to allow their son to move away to Zadar. In the meantime Bodiroga signed a pre-contract with Vojvodina so that when he finally went to Zadar in autumn 1989 he wasn’t right away eligible for the first team, meaning that he first worked with coach Josip Grdović in the club’s youth sections while simultaneously attending high school. After a year he was allowed to be moved into the full squad, then under head coach Slavko Trninić.
