| Profile |
Hard work and team play above all. A "We before me" is Coach Antons main mentality. Likes to focus on an aggressive defense that is structured and based on communication. When talking about offense believes in the talent of each individual player and finds ways to exploit that strength within the team. Hard work for individual players and the team is a main concern. Loves to help players reach their max potential off and on the court. A Coach that believes in his players more then anything and thus finds ways to succeed.
