Klaus Perwas (born March 8, 1971 in Osnabrück ) is a former German basketball player . As a development player, he completed twelve games in the dress of the German national basketball team. After he ended his sporting career as a result of a persistent knee injury, he started working as a coach.

Active career

Klaus Perwas began playing basketball as a child at TV Bissendorf and later at BC Giants Osnabrück . He was supported primarily by his basketball-loving father Peter Perwas, an Osnabrück businessman and former football player who had led the Osnabrück Giants as a patron and manager from the district class to the 1st basketball league in 1983 . Klaus Perwas belonged to the cadres of the youth national teams of the DBB. His stations as a Bundesliga player were BG Bramsche-Osnabrück and SSV ratiopharm Ulm before he had his most successful phase at Telekom Baskets Bonn . As a national player, Perwas moved to the Bonn team in the 2nd basketball league and under coach Bruno Socé , the development player led as team captain in the 1995/1996 season with only one defeat in the promotion round to the top German division. As a climber, the Telekom Baskets immediately won the runner-up in 1997. Towards the end of the next season, which his team finished second in the main round, Perwas injured his knee - from which he never fully recovered. His activity in Bonn then moved to the coaching area.

In the national team Perwas made his debut on November 5, 1994 in an international match against Lithuania . Although he delivered his best performance shortly afterwards against Greece with 17 points, he only managed to make the leap into the extended circle of national players. In total, he scored 37 points in twelve international matches. His last international match was against Slovakia on February 28, 1998 .

Coaching career

For the 2000/2001 season, Perwas took over the position of co-trainer at Telekom Baskets . For the 2002/2003 season he moved - also as an assistant coach - to local rivals SOBA Dragons Rhöndorf in the second division. There he was Berthold Bisselik's successor in 2005 after three years as assistant . This engagement ended after a year.

Perwas has been assistant coach at the Deutsche Bank Skyliners Bundesliga team since 2008 , initially as assistant to head coach Murat Didin . As an assistant trainer there, he is responsible for individual training and the perspective development of the young players. Klaus Perwas also remained assistant coach of the Skyliners under Didin's successor Gordon Herbert and Muli Katzurin . At the beginning of March 2012, he extended his contract with the Skyliners early by two years, until the end of the 2013/2014 season. In 2016 he won the FIBA Europe Cup with Frankfurt .
