Lothar Stein (* 1962 ) is a former German basketball player and coach.

Life

Stein, a 1.83 meter tall construction player, played for SG FT / MTV Braunschweig . From 1983 he was playing assistant coach and looked after the team with his father Eckhard as coaching team. The team's top performer was brother Harald . They led the SG team in 1987 in the 2nd basketball league . In the second division season 87/88, the Braunschweiger were sixth under the direction of the Steins. Since the athletically qualified teams renounced promotion to the Bundesliga, Steins Braunschweiger moved up and competed in the first division in 1988/89. Initially, Lothar Stein was also a player-coach in the Bundesliga and continued to share the coaching role with his father, but over the course of the season the 1.83-meter-tall player shifted his focus entirely to coaching. He was the first trainer in Braunschweig to do this full-time job. The Braunschweiger rose again in 1989 without a win from the Bundesliga. The Braunschweig basketball performance center was established in 1990 as a result of an advance by Stein and his father in order to promote the promotion of young talent.

In the 1990/91 season Stein led the SG to win the championship title in the 2nd Bundesliga North and thus to promotion to the Bundesliga. In addition, Braunschweig reached the final of the DBB Cup with Stein as coach , where the second division lost to the record champions Bayer Leverkusen . In the 1992/93 season he led the team for the first time to participate in the Bundesliga championship round. In March 1994, Stein was relieved of his position by team owner Richard Hartwig in Braunschweig, who was then threatened with relegation . During his tenure in Braunschweig, he helped players like Stephen Arigbabu , Niels Brüwer and Markus Wedler to jump from the youngsters to the Bundesliga. Stein went to Berlin in 1994 , worked in a commercial profession. In 1999 he was temporarily in Japan as a basketball coach . In 2000, Stein worked as a sports teacher at the Hannover Medical School (MHH).
