Schiller, a 33-year-old Austrian native, has coached in the German Bundesliga since 2010, last coming from MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg where he was an assistant for two years. He’s also served as an assistant to the German national team since 2015, where he crossed paths with Jazz assistant Alex Jensen.
Schiller will lead the Stars in just their second season in Salt Lake City, after going 14-36 in their inaugural season based in Salt Lake Community College. The organization went after Schiller in part because of his reputation for player development, according to the release, which will be critical as the Jazz attempt to grow this year’s draft picks such as Tony Bradley and Nigel Williams-Goss who are likely to see some time with the Stars.
