Arik Shivek (Hebrew: אריק שיבק) is an Israeli basketball coach.[1][2] He is the head coach of Maccabi Rishon LeZion of the Ligat HaAl. Shivek is also a former head coach of the Israeli national basketball team, serving from 2009 to 2014 succeeding Zvi Sherf. [1][3]
Coaching career
Shivek started coaching in 1983 with Maccabi Netanya and later moved to clubs such as Maccabi Ra’anana, Maccabi Ramat Gan, and Hapoel Tel Aviv.[1][4] Beginning in 2003 he coached the Amsterdam Ricoh Astronauts in the Netherlands, leading it to championships in 2008 and 2009,[5] and the Antwerp Giants in Belgium.[1][6]
He was the Coach of the Year in the Dutch Premier League in 2005 and 2009, and was named Eurobasket Coach of the Year in 2008.[1][4]
In December 2009, he was appointed the head basketball coach of the Israeli national basketball team.[3] The Israel Basketball Association permitted him to take the job on a part-time basis.[3] In June 2011, he re-signed as coach of Dexia Mons-Haiaut for a third straight year, subsequent to declining job offers from teams in France and Germany.[7][8]
In the 2015–16 season, Shivek coached Maccabi Rishon LeZion. He coached the team to its first Israeli championship, while beating powerhouses Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem on the way to the title.
