Overview

• Rasta Vechta signed point guard Tommy Kuhse to a two-year deal running through 2027.
• Christian Held took over as head coach this summer, succeeding Martin Schiller.
• After leading Vechta to a sixth-place finish and a runner-up MVP vote in the 2023–24 BBL season, Kuhse spent two seasons with Italian Champions League side Bertram Derthona Basket Tortona.
• The club aims to leverage Kuhse’s proven talent and existing relationships to reinforce its emerging contender status in the Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga.
• Kuhse’s maternal family hails from Steinfeld and his planned July 31, 2026 wedding in Ontario is timed to avoid BBL playoff conflicts.
