Ken Scalabroni (born September 2, 1956 in Boston , Massachusetts ) is an American basketball coach and former basketball player.

career

After serving in the US Navy (1976 to 1980), Scalabroni first worked as a player and coach in northern Germany in the 1980s. Following his playing career, he was initially a coach in Forssa , Finland , before he returned to Germany in the 1993/94 season and was assistant to Terry Schofield , who had taken over the TTL Bamberg as coach. However, Schofield had to give up his position as a coach in 1994 for health reasons and Scalabroni took over his position as responsible coach. Similar to his predecessor Schofield, who coached the Franconian team for about six years , Scalabroni worked almost five full seasons as the coach of the first division team until 1999. Only when a financial gap threatened the existence of the first division club in 1999 did Scalabroni not get a new contract with the following upheaval.

After the end of his Bamberg era, Scalabroni took over the Swiss champions Benetton Olympic from Freiburg im Üechtland from Duško Ivanović , who went to CSP Limoges . Under Scalabroni there were no new successes, instead the Lugano Tigers conquered the supremacy in the national basketball league . In February 2001, Scalabroni then took over the coaching post from his friend Henrik Dettmann , the German national coach from the DBB as "emergency aid" for this post, under the opposite sign as in Bamberg at the almost illiquid club from Braunschweig . With a few remaining players and individual newcomers such as John Celestand , however, Scalabroni reached the turnaround and even made it into the play-offs for the championship. After the consolidation of the club, there was a sporting crisis at the beginning of the 2004/05 season and Scalabroni was replaced by Dettmann, who had meanwhile become the sporting director of the Braunschweig club.

In December 2006, Scalabroni took over the coaching post of the Gießen 46ers until the end of the 2006/07 season , when his predecessor Stefan Koch resigned during the current season. In the following season Scalabroni moved to the Czech capital Prague , where he coached the USK, the successor to the traditional basketball department at SK Slavia Prague , and stayed in office for seven years.

During the 2014/15 season, he was the head coach of the Austrian Bundesliga club WBC Raiffeisen Wels . After a year, Scalabroni returned to Prague for family reasons. He worked in the Czech capital as a teacher as well as for the Basketball Association of the Czech Republic, for which he took over the support of the country's female U18 team as national coach.
