As a coach he worked alongside various positions at clubs in the National Basketball League from 1994 to 2005 as assistant coach of national coach Henrik Dettmann from 1997 to 2003. Trained as a banker in his native city as a restaurateur worked and was until 2014 a member of the SPD - faction in Bamberg City Council . Andres has been a member of the Presidium of the German Basketball Federation (DBB) as Vice President with the competitive sports department since May 2014 .

Player career

Andres grew up in Rosenheim and played there for the SB DJK, whose first team achieved promotion to the 2nd Basketball Bundesliga Group South in 1979 . From 1981 he played for three years at the traditional club SSV Hagen in Westphalia in the first basketball league. In 1984 he moved back to his hometown Bamberg to the first division returnee 1. FC, who separated from the main club in 1988 and started as a TTL. Andres was able to qualify for the 1986 World Cup in Spain with the national team. In the preliminary group in Málaga they just failed because of the worse three-way comparison to qualify for the intermediate round. In the European Championship finals in 1987 in the Greek Athens could be the sixth place the good fifth place two years earlier at the European Championship on home soil, when Andres was not part of final squad, confirm. In 1990 he reached the cup final and the play-off semi- finals for the German championship with the TTL . After seven years with the Bambergers, they signed their national team colleague Kai Nürnberger , who was seven years his junior, and Andres switched to league competitor MTV 1846 Gießen in 1991 . His brother Thomas Andres, who was five years younger than him, played for the founding member of the first national basketball league . Armin Andres was still a member of the national team, with which he qualified for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona , only the second athletic qualification after 1984 and two appearances as the host country in 1936 and 1972. At the Olympic tournament they were eliminated in the quarter-finals against the CIS team out. He played his last games as a national player in the European Championship qualification in 1992. In the BBL season 1993/94 he moved to Alba Berlin at the end of the season, where he ended his playing career after another elimination in the championship semi-finals in 1994.

Coaching career

After the end of his playing career in 1994, he returned to MTV in Giessen, whose first division team was now called Flippers and was coach of the Bundesliga club. After two play-off appearances, he was released in December 1996 after a moderate start to the season. As a result, Andres initially only worked for the DBB , where he eventually became the assistant to national coach Henrik Dettmann . In 1999 he was scheduled to work as sports director at his former club in Bamberg. After financial turbulence and a planned withdrawal of Bamberg from the first division, he rebuilt the team as the responsible coach in the 1999/2000 BBL season . After another season as a coach, he resigned at the end of the 2000/01 season and was replaced by Zoran Slavnić . With the national team one could build on earlier successes through the participation of Dirk Nowitzki and after the EM quarter-finals in 1999 reach the semifinals at the subsequent EM 2001 and narrowly missed a medal against the Spanish selection in the small final. The 2002 World Cup in Indianapolis was a great success: The selection narrowly missed the final and achieved the best placement at a world championship so far with the bronze medal after a victory in the small final over New Zealand . The early elimination at the EM 2003 and the associated unsuccessful qualification for the 2004 Olympics was therefore seen as a bitter disappointment, which led to the dismissal of national coach Dettmann. Andres, who, as a previous assistant, was hoping for a successor as national coach, was initially head coach of his former club in Hagen, which was financially troubled , in the 2003/04 BBL season . Dirk Bauermann , who already had great successes as head coach at Bayer Leverkusen in the 1990s , was finally brought forward by the association in the double function as national and club coach. After a good start to the season, the founding member of the Bundesliga from Hagen finally had to file for bankruptcy in December 2003 and then withdrew the team at the end of the year. In February 2004 Andres was again a trainer in Gießen, who did not manage to stay up in the league, but only thanks to the bankruptcy-related withdrawals of Brandt Hagen and FIBA EuroCup Challenge winner Mitteldeutscher BC , who was trained by the former national trainer Dettmann. For the following 2004/05 season , Andres took over the coaching position at the cup winner RheinEnergie Cologne, with whom he was able to successfully defend the cup title with a final victory over the Rhenish rival Telekom Baskets Bonn , but as third in the main round in the play-off quarter-finals against his former club from Giessen retired. Then Andres ended his coaching career. In May 2014 he was elected to the DBB Presidium as the Vice President responsible for competitive sports. Andres often stays on the Spanish island of Mallorca, which has been described as his "second home".

Gastronomy & politics

Andres, who was already active in gastronomy while still completing his business studies degree in Bamberg, runs several gastronomic establishments in his hometown, including the Hotel Molitor, and was a member of the Bamberg city council from 2008 to 2014. He was a member of the SPD parliamentary group and was a member of the Bamberg Finance Senate and the Audit Committee. He also takes part in championship games for senior basketball teams in his spare time.
