Career

After graduating from high school, Hanke attended the "Trinity Pawling School" in the US state of New York to prepare for his studies. In addition to playing basketball, he was also a passionate golfer with a handicap of 0. In 2004, he switched to Providence College in Rhode Island to study where he focused on basketball and played for the college team Friars in the NCAA's Big East Conference . After two seasons he suspended the 2006/07 college season of championship games and was active for this college team until 2009. Under a new coach, the Friars achieved in Hanke's last college season 2008/09 for the first time a positive season balance when he was playing. Hanke's teammates at the Friars included the later Bundesliga basketball professionals Jonathan Kale and Sharaud Curry .

In the summer of 2009, Hanke received the invitation to the British national team , which was formed from the national teams of the United Kingdom excluding Northern Ireland for the 2012 Olympic Games in London . In a preparatory tournament for the European Championship finals in 2009 , however, he could not recommend himself for the final squad. He then played in the 2009/10 season from the turn of the year in the British Basketball League for Glasgow Rocks , before moving to the second Spanish league LEB Oro on the Canary Islands at the end of the season. With the CB 1939 Canarias, however, he missed promotion to the top division ACB league in the play-off semi- final series against the Balearic club ViveMenorca . In the following season he was initially active for the USK from the Czech capital Prague , before he moved to Sweden in January 2011 and reached the runner-up with the Dolphins from Norrköping at the end of the season when they reached Sundsvall in the play-off final series Dragons lost. In the following season they reached the main round first again in the final series of the championship and this time the club was able to win the title again as in 2010. At the end of 2012, Hanke left the Swedish club, although they had qualified for the second round of the 16 best teams in the EuroChallenge 2012/13 , and joined the German Bundesliga club Gießen 46ers at the beginning of February 2013 , who had previously signed Hanke's college friend Sharaud Curry had. The traditional Giessen club, a member of the top division since the beginning of the German Bundesliga, had to accept a personal bloodletting after an application for bankruptcy and, after deducting points for license and rule violations in connection with the insolvency application, had no prospect of staying in the league. Hanke played 14 Bundesliga games for Mittelhessen (4.4 points / game). After the end of the season he only got a new professional contract with TP-Basket from Kotka in the Finnish Korisliiga at the beginning of the following year , where he played again with Sharaud Curry . At the following season he moved to the club from Örebro back to the Swedish Basketligan and then ended his career as a professional basketball player.
