History

1952-2002: Foundation and establishment in the 2nd League

The Tübingen Sports Club 1903 eV founded in 1903 and is commonly known as SV 03 Tübingen. 49 years after the founding, in 1952, a basketball department was founded. This denied on October 25, 1952 their first game in the league - Württemberg. In 1972 succeeded in winning the Württemberg Championship and the SV 03 rose to the Oberliga. The Youth B won the German championship in 1981 and two years later, the SV 03 first acquired promotion to the second basketball league. Since then, the university city dwellers never played again in a deeper league. 1992 succeeded in the first ascent to the Bundesliga, but it went straight off again.

The B- youth succeeded again in 1997 to win the German Cup, but the re-emergence of the first team could not be realized until 2001. In the promotion season also succeeded very surprising to defeat ALBA Berlin with 87:84 in the cup. The team led by DeJuan Collins, the top scorer of the 2nd Bundesliga South was, could also be largely held together and was reinforced. But the WiredMinds Tübingen, as the first team of the basketball department was now, had to descend directly back at the end of the season. For the registration form for Roman Horvat, who moved during the season to the WiredMinds, was filed too late by the Tübingen. All games in which he was employed, has subsequently been regarded as a defeat, and thus they had to descend into the second league again.

2002-2004: Probasket Tübingen GmbH

In July 2002, the Probasket Tübingen GmbH was founded and thus the first team in the basketball department of the SV outsourced 03 Tübingen from the association. The sole shareholder is to this day, however, the SV 03 Harald Prince as CEO and Michaela plug as head of the office were at that time - both with a half body - the only employees in the management of the association. Head Coach was still Uwe Sauer, with the Tübingen had dismounted on and on again already in the first division.

For the new season with the clear aim rise, among other winger Robert Winter Coat has been committed to the now CEO of Probasket GmbH is .. In January, it was still retrofitted with Brian Jones, but the rise was still just missed. The contract of coach Uwe Sauer was subsequently not renewed and George Fighting set as the new head coach. Led by point guard Brian Jones then succeeded the long awaited comeback.

2004-2009: First years as WALTER Tigers with a new name sponsor

After the Tübingen basketball players in the second division as SV 03 Tübingen competed again, could the Walter AG became a new name and main sponsor with the rise. And there were some changes in the team, which now bore the name WALTER Tigers Tübingen: Georg combatants left the Neckar townspeople for personal reasons and was replaced by Pat Elzie. In addition, the team has been strengthened among others, the former national player Tim Nees to achieve the goal league and the Tigers attracted by the Uhland hall in the newly built TüArena (now Paul Horn Arena ).

Despite the smallest with 800,000 euro budget of the League the team managed by Elzie to hold the class. In the season 2004/2005 it was still against relegation and after four consecutive defeats Pat Elzie was released in January. As the new head coach of the former Finnish national team coach and trainer of the TSK Würzburg Aaron McCarthy was presented. He managed to avoid relegation and finish the season in 12th place.

With a budget of 1.5 million, the Tigers went into the 2006/2007 season, but the most important player Bingo Merriex could not be maintained. But as the team was specifically reinforced, the team managed by McCarthy at the end to reach the 10th place. This is still the best end result of Tübingen. In May 2007, Christian Roth successor to the former managing director Harald Prince. However, this had no experience with the basketball. The new season was not as desired, although the squad largely held together and Bingo Merriex could be retrieved. After eight defeats in nine games Aaron McCarthy had to resign in December 2007. As interim coach took over assistant coach Rainer Kloss for about a month until Tolga Öngören in January, a successor could be found. With it, the descent could be prevented and the season was finished on the 15th place.

After only one year of the highly criticized CEO Christian Roth was released in August 2008. As a substitute Robert winter coat was committed, who played until 2007 even with the WALTER Tigers. In spite of necessary financial savings and a smaller budget, managed the final last season to improve a place.

2009 to present: continuity under coach Perovic and CEO winter coat

In May 2009 it was announced that the contract of head coach Öngören was not renewed and the new season but with Igor Perovic is disputed. Perovic was like winter coat, previously active for one year as a player for the Tigers and the much cheaper alternative to Öngören. Rasko Katic Also, who was four years an extremely important part of the team, left the Tigers. Thanks to good relations Perovics the team, among others, BBL legend Aleksandar Nadjfeji could be strengthened. Despite further austerity measures the Swabians finished the season in 12th place. The following two seasons ended, the Tübingen on the 12th place, although the budget remained below two million euros and the squad changed greatly.

For the 2012/13 season could be held with Reggie Redding, Vaughn Duggins, Tyrone Nash and Captain Josh Young several performers of the previous year, only the disposal of construction Lou Campbell could not be adequately replaced. In addition, the Tübingen also received a new training hall, bringing the training situation was much improved .. At the end of the Tigers landed on the 10th place and the playoffs were just missed. The 2013/14 season brought back some changes. The scorer Redding and Duggins left Tübingen, but the squad was strengthened among others, the former Munich Jonathan Wallace and Alex Harris. From Munich U -20 national team Bogdan Radosavljević and returnees Aleksandar Nadjfeiji were committed. The latter will not only players but also Assistant Coach.

Rivalry with Ulm

In the first round to Tübingen could then prevail in Ulm after double extension. In the return match in Ulm the game went into overtime and at the end was the winner again Tübingen. Thus the rise of the Tübingen was virtually certain and the sparrows had to wait two years until they also managed to move up to the BBL.

Since then, the Derby of about 70 km as the crow away team is one of the absolute highlights of each BBL season and has not lost a bit of explosiveness. Since the rise of Ulm in 2006 succeeded the Tübingen only four of 14 derbies to win. The last victory against Ulm was on February 26, 2011.
