Ingo Freyer is a German professional basketball coach and former national team player.
Freyer earned 39 caps for the German men's national team.[1] He participated in the 1995 European Championships. At the club level, he won the 1994–95 FIBA Korać Cup with Alba Berlin.[2] Later in his career, he sealed promotion to the German Basketball Bundesliga three times (with SSV Weißenfels, Ludwigsburg and Quakenbrück).[3]
Freyer led Phoenix Hagen to promotion to the German top-tier Basketball Bundesliga in 2009.[4] In November 2016, Hagen had its Bundesliga license revoked,[5] Freyer left the team.
Freyer's high-intensity[6] and fast-paced style of play[7] became his trademark.
In 2022 (Baskets Oldenburg), 2023 (Mitteldeutscher BC) and 2024 (MLP Academics Heidelberg), Freyer saved Bundesliga teams from relegation.[8]
In the past, Freyer was a commentary for Eurosport.[9]
