Concluding the tenure as the country's head coach following its conclusion - Herbert initiates his involvement with the basketball team from Bavaria.
Gordie Herbert, stepping back into his role as FC Bayern's new basketball coach, had a mere eight-day break following his previous gig leading the German national squad. Gathering a dozen players for the squad's inaugural training in Munich, Herbert was absent due to some rest days in Finland after the agonizing 83-93 loss against Serbia on August 10th.
With five Olympian members still enjoying their vacations, the freshly signed Johannes Voigtmann was present at the training session.
The Bayern basketball team is set to engage in its initial internal challenge against fellow league competitors Bamberg this coming Saturday, as part of the preparation process. Their first public showcase will be at the Ljubljana, Slovenia tournament, scheduled for September 5th through the 7th. The home opener for Bayern's Bundesliga campaign will commence against the Niners Chemnitz on September 20th, at 8 PM.
Gordie Herbert expressed his doubts about their readiness with just a week before their first game, mentioning, "I'm not sure if we're fully prepared with some key players still on break."
As they analyzed their upcoming schedule, one team member voiced, "I'm not sure if we should focus more on our internal challenges or save energy for the Ljubljana tournament."
