Charles Lee "Chuck" Evans (born December 17, 1971 in Atlanta , Georgia ) is a German basketball coach who was born in the United States . Evans has had German citizenship since 2003 .

College players

Evans began his studies in Virginia at Old Dominion University and later moved to Mississippi, so that he took a year off as a player due to the regulations of the NCAA . For the Bulldogs of the MSU, he averaged eight assists per game and was among the top ten players in the all-time best list of the university team with the template providers, and he was also represented five times in the best list for assists per game at the Bulldogs alone. In the basketball Bundesliga he scored a total of 1809 points.

Professional career

After college Evans played in the USBL for the Trojans of his hometown, who were defeated in the championship finals of this league in 1994 and 1995. In the 1994/95 season Evans had an engagement with the Russian top club CSKA Moscow, which won the Russian championship that season. After further engagements in the USBL and in the International Basketball League in his native country, Evans moved to Hagen in the German basketball league in 1998 . With almost 15 points and over 7 assists per game, his strengths came to the fore here too, which he was even able to increase a little in the play-off qualifying round against the victorious Giants from Leverkusen , where he scored almost 25 points and over 8 in two games Had assists on average. For the following season he was obliged by Leverkusen and reached the final of the German championship with the Giants , which was lost in 2000 against the then series champion Alba Berlin . In the Cup final tournament third place was achieved.

The specialist magazine Basketball classified him in a special issue before the 2000/01 season as a “very nimble builder” and “good passer”, whose readiness for action can hardly be surpassed. In the 2000/01 season he was eliminated with Leverkusen in the championship semifinals against Telekom Baskets Bonn . Evans left Germany for France and later played in Poland before returning to Brandt Hagen in early 2003. Hagen could not qualify for the play-offs for the German championship in the 2002/03 season, but successfully defended his ninth place in the qualifying round. During the break of the season, Evans was about to move to Greece before he finally returned to Hagen. After Hagen's bankruptcy in December 2003, he finally played for the remainder of the 2003/04 season as a supplementary player (an average of 10 minutes playing time per game) for the series champion Alba Berlin, who missed the championship for the first time in seven years and was the first in the main round in the semi-finals retired against GHP Bamberg .

In the following season Evans first played in Spain before moving to the BBL in Karlsruhe at the turn of the year . Even at BG Karlsruhe, Evans was no longer an integral part of the initial line-up, so that his game shares stagnated with a good 20 minutes of playing time, two to three assists and just under five points on average. After a trip to Ireland , Evans was an experienced player in the second basketball league for a short time in the 2006/07 season for the new generation from Ehingen, which mainly brought its players from the boarding school at the Urspring School . However, Evans received an offer from Trier to play in a higher class and was once again active for four games in the Bundesliga. After the four-week trial contract was not extended, Evans moved to the northern group of the 2nd division for MBC from Weißenfels . At the start of the 2007/08 season Evans signed a two-year contract with the western regional division BSG Grevenbroich . Before the start of the season, he asked for the termination of his contract in order to complete his studies in Great Britain and continued his playing career with the Wolves in Worcester . The following season he played for two other British clubs before returning to Worcester as a coach at the beginning of the 2009/10 season.

Trainer

His first engagement as a coach with the Worcester Wolves was overshadowed by accusations of racism , according to which Evans is said to have flatly criticized the attitude of the fair-skinned players. As a result, Evans was fired from the Wolves and took over the coaching post vacated by the dismissal of Keith Gray at the German regional league team BSW Sixers from Sandersdorf . At the end of September 2010, Evans decided to step back from his post as head coach and returned to the United States with his pregnant wife. Stephen Arigbabu was his successor in Sandersdorf .
