Basketball is considered to be one of the fastest sports games in the world and requires team spirit, tactical skills and coordination as well as mental strength from the players. It is the "game of runs", in which leads in points that were thought to be safe can be made up and given up again in the blink of an eye. The constant back and forth between success and failure is part of basketball and requires constant tactics and reactions. In this dynamic process, the coaches play an important role. In competition, they must rely on the right players, make smart decisions, and stop their opponents' runs. Off the field, they prepare for and follow up on competitions and add other tasks: strengthening team spirit, assessing and managing the performance of individual players, promoting young talent, and much more. In short: Successfully coaching basketball teams is a complex process that requires a modern, interdisciplinary and well-founded basketball coaching education.
