Daniel Hain (born July 19, 1985 in Essen ) is a former German basketball player . He celebrated his greatest success by winning the German championship in 2009 in the EWE Baskets team from Oldenburg . His willingness to work and his qualities, especially on the defensive, earned him an appointment in the German national basketball team in 2010 .
career
Like two of his older brothers, Daniel Hain learned to play basketball in his hometown with DJK Adler Frintrop. In contrast to his brothers Daniel turned professional and played in the 2003/04 season at ETB SW Essen in the 2nd basketball league . After one season he moved to the Ruhr area rivals Hertener Löwen, whose predecessor club played first-class in the 90s. With the club from Herten , he rose to the second division after a season from the third division regional league in 2005.
After two seasons, Hain, who at the age of 22 could still be classified as a junior player, was signed somewhat surprisingly by the first division club EWE Baskets despite rather average statistics in the second division. In the first two seasons, Hain hardly got any game shares and was rarely used. The role assigned to him by the coach was to bring aggressiveness and intensity to the field and to build up pressure on the attacking opponent on the defensive. The risk of a high level of fouling caused by this style of play was consciously accepted by coach Predrag Krunić because of the fact that Hain's time was initially low. After winning the championship title in 2009, Oldenburg regular Jason Gardner had to fight injury problems in the point guard position at the beginning of the following season. Hain then felt the trust of the coach in the form of significantly more playing time, and he was also able to gain experience at the highest European level in the ULEB Euroleague . In the summer of 2010, his increase in performance was rewarded with an appointment to the extended squad of the German national team, where he completed three international matches, but was not appointed to the final squad for the 2010 World Cup . In the following season he was still an integral part of the rotation of players, but could not increase his game shares. After a moderate 2010/11 season for the Oldenburg club, Hain also changed teams and signed a contract with Telekom Baskets Bonn , Oldenburg final opponent and runner-up in 2009. In Bonn, Hain could not take on a bigger role in the rotation as hoped and was only used around 4 minutes per game and scored 0.5 points on average. After a year, Hain left Telekom Baskets Bonn.
After Hain suspended the 2012/2013 season and did not sign a contract in professional basketball, he joined the Bundesliga club Mitteldeutscher BC for the 2013/2014 season . There he received a contract until 2014. In a total of 29 games for the MBC, Hain fulfilled the defensive role in the team that was intended for him. MBC finished the 2013/2014 season in 9th place, the best placement in 13 years. After a year, Hain left the MBC and moved to the Hamburg Towers in the ProA .
The 2014/2015 season was the premiere season in the history of the Hamburg Towers. After the original season goal, relegation, was reached early, the Towers even qualified for the playoffs. Daniel Hain was one of the leading players in a young Hamburg team. As a point guard, he was in the Hamburg starting line-up in 21 of 33 competitive games and impressed with his usual team-friendly style of play on the offensive and aggressive defense on the defensive. After the season, Hain ended his active career and took a position in the press department of the Hamburg Towers. He later started a communications company.
