#16 Stefan

Stefan Weissenboeck is a player development coach at Brose Bamberg since 2010/11 season and has worked under the coaches Chris Fleming & Andrea Trinchieri most notably with whom he won multiple domestic titles during this period. He picked up basketball through his father and was committed early on as a player in Austria as well as one year at Hawaii-Pacific. After injuries derailed his playing career he turned to being an Assistant Coach before discovering the niche role of a Player Development coach. After playing for Arkadia Traiskirchen in Austria, a short stint in Lissabon and finishing his career at Nuernberg, he turned to being an Assistant there. Chris Fleming brought him to Bamberg and the rest is history. Players such as PJ Tucker, Brad Wanamaker, Kyle Hines, Brian Roberts, Daniel Theis, Marcus Slaughter went through his school of thought. He also worked with Jakob Poeltl from Austria as well Tomas Satoransky because of his Czech Republic connection. 

Stefan also shared stories about his experience with the Brooklyn Nets and told a ‘nail-story’ in regards to Caris LeVert & Joe Harris. Jarrett Allen & Nic Claxton have also had the experience of working with Stefan. 

Today we he had a phenomenal conversation together, my good friend from Bamberg. I’m intrigued by the “Player Development” position, especially in regards to shooting and Stefan was very kind to open up about different experiences with players. He shared stories from various players from the NBA as well as Europe and how he worked with them on different things. We explored the communication aspect between him and the player, as well as the dynamic when a 2nd coach is involved. Nail-length of a player in regards to shooting, how to get out of a ’shooting slump’ as well as what he looks for during the video analysis with players. We talked about confidence and where his confidence comes from and still manages to stay humble and prefers to stay in the background…’consciously invisible’. Enjoy the variety of knowledge he shared with us today, lots of goodies in here for all future PD coaches.
