The Dutch Hoofdklasse club DSS had to change coaching staff shortly before the end of the regular season. Head coach Lennart Stut decided to step down from his post. He gets succeeded by 35-year-old former Hoofdklasse player Nick Stuifbergen, who coached the Rookie League team of DSS. He will be assisted by Jerry Breek and Ivan Rodriguez. Rodriguez returned home to Amsterdam after the Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg fired him in June.
