Dennis Schroder, a representative of Germany, spoke to “DPA” about Gordon Herbert’s departure from the helm of the national team.
Many were surprised by the decision that the Canadian coach would leave the “Panzer” bench after the Olympic Games in Paris. The Brooklyn Nets player was asked about it, and his response was straightforward.
“He called me two days ago and told me, ‘Look, this is how it’s decided.’ I think it’s a shame that the national team didn’t ask me for my opinion. I don’t think anyone from the team knew. I think they should talk to the captain so that I could talk to my teammates. Of course, I wish him all the best,” said Dennis Schroder.
Under Gordon Herbert, the Germans won a bronze medal at the EuroBasket 2022 on their home court. The pinnacle came last year when they won the FIBA World Cup.
