All about the rivals: Team A
Tigers Tübingen, founded in 1952, have experienced a turbulent few seasons. After finishing 18th (last) in the 2023-24 BBL season, they were relegated to the ProA league. This season, they are 10th in the standings, showing modest improvement but still struggling to regain their former prominence. The team recently appointed Eric Detlev as interim coach on March 11, 2025, following the departure of Domenik Reinboth, who had been in charge since June 2024.
