Playing career

Herbert attended two-year North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene,[1] and transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow in 1979, where he played college basketball for the Vandals under head coach Don Monson.[2] Prior to his senior season in 1980–81, he injured his wrist and was redshirted; the Vandals were 25–4 and went to the NCAA tournament as Big Sky champions.

As a fifth-year senior in 1981–82, Herbert started at forward and Idaho won its first sixteen games, went 24–2 in the regular season,[3] and were sixth in the AP and UPI polls.[4][5] They advanced to the Sweet Sixteen,[6][7][8] and finished with the best record in school history at 27–3. While undefeated at 15–0, an article on the team appeared in Sports Illustrated.[9] Late in the regular season, Herbert was the conference player of the week.[10]

After college, he played professionally in Finland for 12 years with various teams. His club playing career ended in 1994, when he started coaching.

Herbert also played with the senior Canadian national team at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where they finished just out of medal position in fourth place. He also played with Canada at the 1986 FIBA World Championship.

Coaching career

Herbert has coached many teams, including Frankfurt Skyliners, with which he won the German League title in 2004. He led the Skyliners to their 3rd German League finals appearance, against the league's first place Brose Bamberg, after beating other top-rated German teams, such as Alba Berlin, in the playoffs. He also coached French teams Paris and Pau Orthez, with which he won the French Cup in the 2006–07 season.

On July 7, 2007, he officially became the head basketball coach of the Greek club Aris. Herbert has also been an assistant coach of the NBA's Toronto Raptors.[11] In the 2015–16 season, Herbert won the FIBA Europe Cup with the Skyliners, after his team defeated Pallacanestro Varese in the Final. Herbert was also named the German Basketball Bundesliga Coach of the Year that season.[12]

Herbert's contract with the Skyliners ended in May 2020.[13] On July 2, 2020, he signed with Avtodor of the VTB United League.[14] He was sacked in March 2021.[15] In September 2021, he was named head coach of the Germany national team.[16] He guided the German team to a bronze medal at the 2022 European Championships.[17]
