career

player

Key attended Atholton High School in Columbia (US state Maryland ), from 1986 to 1990 he played at Boston University . In 1990 he was named Player of the Year at the North Atlantic Conference , having scored 16.6 points and 7.6 assists per game in the 1989/90 season.

The first stop in his career as a professional basketball player was the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) in his home country. He played 24 games for the San Jose Jammers in the 1990/91 season and posted an average of 8.2 points per encounter, in addition, he statistically prepared four basket successes of his companions per game.

In 1991 Key moved for one season to BK Klosterneuburg in Austria , followed by one year each with the German Bundesliga clubs Tübingen and Bayreuth. After a short detour to the Gold Coast Rollers (Australia), Key returned to Germany. At Rhöndorfer TV he played from 1996 to 1998 at the side of his compatriot Richard Morton , this connection was described as a "dream duo". It was also due to the good performances of Key and Morton that Rhöndorf came second in the Bundesliga main round in the 1996/97 season. During parts of the 1999/2000 season Key was under contract with the French second division club Brest, he came to eleven league appearances for the team (14.8 points, 6.1 assists / game). At the beginning of 2000, Key was signed by the Bundesliga club SG Braunschweig , who needed a leader in building up the game. He played ten games for Lower Saxony and got 9.3 points and 5.6 assists per use. In his playing career, Key scored a total of 2006 points in the German Bundesliga.

2001/02 he played again in France's second division, this time for Saint-Quentin. In March 2002 Key was banned for life by the Legal and Disciplinary Committee of the French League ( LNB ) and the club fined € 15,000 after the committee found it proven that Key was using a forged Yugoslav ID and Saint-Quentin thus used the two US-Americans allowed according to the foreigner restrictions of the league in 15 games as well as an additional key. The Yugoslav authorities did not recognize the identity document.

Trainer

After the end of his career as a player, Key completed his trainer training and in 2003 became the head coach of Düsseldorf Magics in the 2nd basketball league. At the end of the 2005/2006 season, Key's contract in Düsseldorf was not extended. Key then returned to the US and initially worked as an assistant coach for Chicago Sky ( WNBA ). From 2007 he was the manager of Chicago Sky, and from 2008 to 2010 he was also head coach. In 2010 he left the club at his own request. In 2011, Key finally succeeded Vladimir Bogojevic as coach at the LTi Gießen 46ers and led them to stay in the league.

Since summer 2011, Key has been working for EnBW Ludwigsburg , which has called itself Neckar Riesen Ludwigsburg since summer 2012 . Initially as assistant coach to Markus Jochum and after his dismissal as head coach of the team. After the successful relegation, his contract as head coach was extended for the 2012/2013 season. After a good start to the season, Ludwigsburg got into the relegation battle again after a series of defeats and after a 73:78 defeat in January 2013 against the Walter Tigers Tübingen , Key was relieved of his duties as head coach.

In May 2014 Key signed a contract with the Licher BasketBears from the ProB . Key received a contract in Lich until summer 2015. In summer 2015, the contract with Key was not extended by the BasketBears. Over the summer Key then worked as an assistant coach with the WNBA team Connecticut Sun . In the 2015/2016 season, Key returned to Germany and became assistant coach of the Gießen 46ers , which he had already looked after as head coach in 2011.

In the summer of 2018, Key was hired by first division club s.Oliver Würzburg as a new assistant coach. As in Giessen, Key is working with head coach Denis Wucherer .
