A fan favorite of "Grobari" (Partizan Belgrade supporters), a player who consistently left his heart on the court under Duško Vujošević's command, has bid farewell to his mentor with words that reveal the profound depth of their relationship, which extended far beyond that of a mere coach and player.
House, who played in Belgrade from 2002 to 2004, made no secret of how deeply affected he was by the news of the passing of the man who paved his way in European basketball.
What a day to receive the message that Dule has passed away. I have immense respect for him. He taught me European basketball and how to understand the game's rules. What I will miss most about him is that he bought me books to translate Serbian and that he talked to me about art. You will be missed. I had a wonderful time playing for Partizan and playing for him.
House was one of those foreign players who perfectly integrated into Partizan's system, and it was under Vujošević that he developed into one of the best EuroLeague players of that era. This message only confirms that Dule was a father, teacher, and friend to his players – a role no one will ever be able to replace.
Bogdan Bogdanović's message was particularly emotional, Novak Đoković paid tribute to Vujošević, and Vlade Divac did so in his own special way.
