Career

player

The son of a Moroccan father and a German mother was born in Cologne and grew up in Tangier, northern Morocco . At the age of 15, Idbihi returned to Germany, where he began his sporting career in 2001 with the SOBA Dragons from Rhöndorf , with whom he played in the 2nd basketball league for two years . After graduation, he went in 2003 to study in the United States at the University at Buffalo , where he worked for the college team Bulls in the Mid-American Conference of NCAA played. In his last NCAA season, he averaged 15.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game and only just missed a " double-double ".

For the 2007/08 season , the 2.08 m tall and 107 kg heavy Idbihi, who played in the position of power forward , returned to Germany and joined the Bundesliga club Köln 99ers in his hometown. In March 2008, Dirk Bauermann appointed him to the men's national team for the first time . However, the Cologne missed the qualification for the play-offs for the German championship and at the beginning of the following season he moved from the financially troubled German club to France in November 2008 , where he played in the second French league LNB Pro B for the traditional club CSP Elite from Limoges played. However, the club missed in the final game of the play-offs for promotion to return to the top division. In September 2009 it was announced that Idbihi will return to the BBL in the 2009/10 season and play there for the New York Phantoms from Braunschweig . The Phantoms were able to qualify for the play-offs with Idbihi for the first time in seven years and defeat the defending champion and main round first EWE Baskets Oldenburg in the first round .

For the following 2010/11 season he moved to Alba Berlin, where his former Brunswick team-mate Heiko Schaffartzik was added at the end of the season . ALBA reached the second round of the 16 best teams in the Eurocup 2010/11 as the runner-up of the previous year, in which they were eliminated in six games after only one win. In the national championship, third in the main round, it was enough to make it into the play-off final series, which was lost in just five games against defending champion Brose Baskets . After being eliminated again in the second round of the 2011/12 Eurocup , they surprisingly lost third in the main round of the 2011/12 basketball Bundesliga in the first play-off round against the promoted s.Oliver Baskets . For the following season Idbihi moved into the " Starting Five " of ALBA, which as an invited team in the ULEB Euroleague 2012/13 , which is higher than the Eurocup, could also qualify for the second round of the 16 best European club teams. As the winner of the BBL-Pokal 2013 cup competition in front of their own audience, they were eliminated as fifth in the main round in the first play-off round of the 2012/13 Basketball Bundesliga against Bayern Munich.

After the end of the expired contract with ALBA, Idbihi moved in July 2013 to Bayern in Munich , who, like the Berliners in the previous year, had an invitation to participate in the ULEB Euroleague 2013/14 . With the Munich team he became German champion in the 2013/14 season . After his contract expired in the summer of 2015, Idbihi left Bayern Munich again and switched to Brose Baskets Bamberg. He played for the Franks until the end of the 2015/16 season.

Functionary and trainer

After the end of his playing career, Idbihi stayed in Bamberg and took over the office of youth coordinator at the Bundesliga club. With this activity he was given the task of selecting players for the FC Baunach youth development team ( 2nd Bundesliga ProA ) and for the U19 team of TSV Breitengüßbach , which is also part of the Bamberg youth network . After Baunach's head coach Fabian Villmeter was dismissed at the end of December 2017, Idbihi and Mark Völkl temporarily took over the coaching duties for the second division team. In February 2019 Idbihi jumped in again as a transition coach (in the team with Mario Dugandzic ) in Baunach after the team had separated from Felix Czerny .

During the summer break of 2019, Idbihi switched to the Dragons Rhöndorf as Managing Director Sport . After the Rhöndorf team split up with trainer Markus Röwenstrunk in October 2019, Idbihi also took over the temporary coaching position.

Private

Idbihi is married to a Canadian and has four sons.
