Ulrich "Bob" Peters (born July 2, 1957 in Augsburg ) is a former German basketball player and Olympic participant. Peters later took his father's family name and is better known outside of basketball as Ulrich Trogele . In addition to a career in various companies in the field of crop protection, he worked as an honorary professor at the FHW in Berlin.
Peters had moved to the United States with his parents when he was six. There he learned to play basketball and was one of the best players at his college in Kansas. After graduation, he completed trial training at the NBA club Cleveland Cavaliers . When Terry Schofield , the American coach of SSC Göttingen , was systematically looking for German-Americans for the basketball league in the late 1970s , he also noticed college player Bob Peters, who was a German citizen. In 1979 Peters moved to Göttingen, where he won the German championship title in his first season. Three years later, the Göttingen, now trading as ASC 1846 Göttingen , won the second championship title. In the 1983/84 season, Peters stepped shorter for reasons of study and was no longer part of the main formation of the Göttingen, who successfully defended their championship title. After graduating with a business degree, Peters played two more seasons in Cologne.
From 1980 Peters was a regular player in the German national team . After eighth place at the 1983 European Basketball Championship , Peters only returned to the national team when he qualified for the 1984 Olympic Games . Because of the Olympic boycott of the Eastern Bloc countries, the German team was able to take part in the Olympic Games and took eighth place, with Peters participating in seven games and scoring 22 points. After finishing fifth at the 1985 European Basketball Championship , Peters ended his national team career.
His daughter Julia Trogele was a German U20 national player and was part of the extended squad of the senior national team .
