In 2004 he moved to the men's team of the Wolfenbüttel Dukes , which had emerged from the team of the former first division and cup winner MTV Wolfenbüttel , in the 2nd basketball league . In the following three seasons, the Dukes in the lower third of the table in the north group mostly managed to stay early. After reorganizing the second division in a hierarchical rather than geographical manner, the Dukes were grouped in the ProB . There they reached the sporting league in the ProB 2007/08 , but after bankruptcy the license was transferred to the newly founded dukes Wolfenbüttel. Together with his longtime teammate point guard Henye Knopke belonged Frank Theis of the few German players in the third-highest division ProB that individually as Player of the Month were honored. Theis got this award for March 2009, when the dukes in the ProB 2008/09 reached the athletic qualification for the second highest division ProA as runner-up .

After the dukes had renounced the promotion to the ProA for economic reasons and had slipped back into the lower third of the table in the ProB 2009/10 , Frank Theis moved to the following ProB 2010/11 to the regional rival from Braunschweig . The spot-up media baskets acted in the third-highest division as the “ farm team ” of the first division club New Yorker Phantoms , with Frank Theis claiming a place in the first division squad had been promised. At Braunschweig he played together with his brother Daniel and another later men's national player with Dennis Schröder , who were also coached by Benjamin Travnizek in the youth team in the youth basketball league (NBBL) at that time . In the newly structured ProB , the Braunschweig team reached the play-offs for promotion twice , in each of which they were eliminated early. While Daniel Theis moved to Braunschweig first division competitor ratiopharm Ulm in the 2012/13 season and matured there to become a men's national team, Frank returned to Wolfenbüttel for the 2012/13 ProB . In seventh place, the Wolfenbütteler reached a place behind the Braunschweig team in the play-offs for promotion, in which they were eliminated in the first round.
