James Marsh (born July 14, 1970 in Trier ) is a former German basketball player .

Life

The 1.93 m tall small forward played from 1986 to 2006 with the exception of a one-year break when he went basket hunting for the Davidson Wildcats in the USA in 1990/1991, in his hometown for the TBB Trier . He won the German Cup with the club in 1998 and 2001.

Due to his long-standing membership in the club and his significant contribution to the successes in the DBB Cup , Marsh is one of the main characters in Trier basketball alongside Carl Brown , Bernard Thompson and Keith Gray . Coach Joe Whelton even referred to him as a "dinosaur" because hardly anyone has played that long at a single club these days. His great strength was defense work. In the special issue of the 2000/01 Bundesliga season, the specialist magazine Basketball described him as Trier's “defense chief”, who, thanks to his athleticism, “could also be used against physically superior opponents”. Marsh, known for his passion for music, was involved in a Bundesliga basketball motto song together with Stefano Garris and Reggie Bassette in the early 2000s. Due to persistent knee problems, he ended his career as a competitive athlete at the end of the 2005/06 season. He scored a total of 3848 points in the Bundesliga. From March 2009 to September 2010 the qualified sports tourism manager worked at TBB as a marketing & PR manager, from March to May 2010 also as an assistant trainer.

James Marsh has served as the union secretary since 2011. After a brief activity at the Association of Education and Upbringing (VBE), he was secretary of the Education and Science Union of Rhineland-Palatinate from 2012 to 2014, and has been with the German Trade Union Confederation in the Trier region since October 2014.

His father is the musician and martial artist William Marsh .

Honors

Due to his merits for the Trier basketball, his jersey number 7 is no longer awarded and is therefore the only blocked shirt number of the TBB Trier.
