Herbert couldn’t get to the place to claim his prize.
– It is a great pity that we cannot personally present the award to Herbet today, but we will do so in the near future, DOSB boss Thomas Weikert comment.
– If he and his team can achieve such a sensational success in the basketball World Cup, he undoubtedly deserves the Coach of the Year title.
