• Asvel has just formalized this Wednesday the extension of three seasons of TJ Parker on his sidelines.

  • Appointed by his brother Tony in June 2020, the Villeurbannais coach, twice reigning French champion, is now linked to Asvel until 2026.

  • President of the club, "TP" once again praises his younger brother's results in a press release: "It's a mark of respect for someone who has won everything since he became a head coach".

It is clearly not the surprise of the century as the Parker brothers had expressed their common desire to continue the adventure beyond 2023. But since this Wednesday, TJ Parker is officially linked to Asvel until 2026, i.e. a major three-year contract extension.

What is obvious in the press release published by the club with 21 coronations in the elite of French basketball is Tony Parker's desire to legitimize his younger brother as much as possible since his appointment as head coach in June 2020.


"It is the sign of the club's management's unfailing confidence, the hundred times deserved reward for daily work", specifies the text, praising TJ Parker (38), "who legitimately arrived at this position after eight years spent as an assistant coach", and who has "proven on the pitch and in the locker room all his coaching and management qualities".

“He continues to improve every day”

Tony Parker personally continues this concert of praise for the reigning double French champion:

“ 

It's the logical continuation of things, a mark of respect for someone who has won everything since he was head coach [2 titles in Betclic Elite and 1 Coupe de France].

TJ has our full confidence, he's grown a lot since he's been here, and he continues to improve every day.

What he did in the Final Four of the championship in 2021, with a much reduced squad, was enormous.

And his management of the group during the 2022 play-offs was perfect.

We know that with him at the head of the team, we will still achieve great things.

The ambitions will also be enormous with the reinforcement of Nando De Colo, pending the formalization of other recruits.

“TP” indeed announced last week to aim for “the Euroleague title in 2023”.

With a record of 8 wins and 20 losses (14th place out of 15), Asvel was very far from the mark this season in the queen European event, unlike AS Monaco, beaten in the beautiful quarter-finals by Olympiacos.

“I am lucky to be able to coach a team that plays for the title every year and which has great ambitions, confirms TJ Parker, currently present within the staff of the Milwaukee Bucks until July 17, on the occasion of the Las Vegas NBA Summer League.

We have already come an incredible path and I am ready to continue to do everything to crown the most successful club in French basketball.

Including on the prestigious continental stage?
