Lubos Barton, Euroleague Champion in 2010, is mostly known for his quite impressive career as a player. Already as a teenager, Barton put his name among the best in Europe, and shortly came close to being drafted in the NBA. He moved to Europe, played for top Euroleague teams in Italy and Spain, and won all European trophies in a five-year span. You could say that he was one of the best Euro forwards in that time. Injuries speeded up the process of retirement, and to anyone’s surprise, Barton took on a new challenge as a coach in 2016. His first steps were made in Spain and shortly he joined the ranks of coaches in the Czech Republic national team, only two years after his own retirement as a player. Since then, he established himself as one of the best coaches working with the talented young prospect, coached FC Barcelona junior teams and was the head coach of Czech Republic Under 18 team for 4 years. He has worked relentlessly on his resume, adding important experience with Baylor basketball program in early 2020, before pandemic, and soaking up new ideas from the NCAA champions. Coaching in the NCAA is one of his goals in the upcoming years.
