DeAndre Haynes (born March 30, 1984 ) is a former American basketball player who played as a professional in Europe after completing his studies in his home country . Haynes, who grew up in Detroit in the US state of Michigan , played two seasons in the German basketball division between 2009 and 2011 . After another season in Finland , he ended his active career and became assistant coach with his former college team Golden Flashes at Kent State University .
During his studies at Kent State University , Ohio, Haynes played for the college team Golden Flashes from 2002 to 2006 in the Mid-American Conference of the NCAA Division I.

In his senior year , Haynes was named the best player in his conference and the team managed to qualify for the NCAA championship finals, but where they were eliminated in the first round against the Panthers of the University of Pittsburgh .
After graduating, Haynes became a professional in Europe in 2006 and initially played two seasons in the Belgian "Ethias League", first at Royal Atomia in Brussels , which ended the 2006/07 season as penultimate and then moved to the third division, and then at Okapi from Aalst in Flanders . In the 2008/09 season he signed a contract with the Hungarian first division promoted from Kecskemét . For the 2009/10 BBL season he moved to the German first division club Paderborn Baskets, where his former teammate from college Jason Edwin had already played for one season two years earlier. Also for this season, the club signed Nate Gerwig from the second division club BV Chemnitz 99 , with whom Haynes had moved into the NCAA finals at the Golden Flashes while at university. With the financially troubled former participant in the championship play-offs from Paderborn , Gerwig injured his knee so badly after four games that he was no longer fit for the rest of the season. The remaining teammates Haynes could pick just five wins from 34 games and the team was Table and got into the Pro A from. He himself moved to Düsseldorf to join the Giants , who ended up being relegated one place before the Paderborns, but were able to secure the league stay for the 2010/11 season by purchasing a wild card . In this season, however, the Düsseldorf team also rose from bottom of the table. After the 2011/12 season at NMKY from Lappeenranta in the Finnish Korisliiga , Haynes became assistant coach for his former university team Golden Flashes.
Others
The main rivals of Kent State University's Golden Flashes are the Zips of the neighboring University of Akron . Around the same time that Gerwig and Haynes (2001 and 2002 to 2006 respectively) were active for the Golden Flashes, the BBL players Dru Joyce and Romeo Travis were also active for the Zips from 2003 to 2007. While the Zips ranked behind the Golden Flashes during the season of Haynes and Gerwig, who once qualified for the finals, the duo Joyce and Travis were more successful in the BBL than Haynes and Gerwig. They were able to qualify together in the jersey of ratiopharm Ulm in the BBL season 2008/09 for the play-offs for the championship, while Haynes and Gerwig had to relegate one season later at the Paderborn Baskets even as bottom of the table.
