Dušan "Duda" Ivković (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан "Дуда" Ивковић; born 29 October 1943) is a Serbian retired professional basketball coach. He served as head coach of the Serbian national basketball team from 2008 to 2013 and Yugoslavian national basketball team from 1987[1][3] (Serbia and Montenegro competed under the name FR Yugoslavia following the breakup of Yugoslavia) to 1995.[3] He is also a former professional basketball player and current president of the Serbian club BKK Radnički. In 2008, he was named one of the 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors.

Playing career

Ivković played club basketball at the senior level, from 1958 to 1968,[citation needed] with the Yugoslav League club Radnički Belgrade.

Club coaching career

Ivković has coached the following clubs: Radnički Belgrade, Partizan, Aris, Šibenka, Vojvodina, PAOK, Panionios, Olympiacos, AEK, CSKA Moscow, and Dynamo Moscow.

In 1997, he was named the best European professional basketball coach,[citation needed] after having coached several clubs to domestic championships and to the Euroleague Final Four.

In 2014, he signed a two-year contract with the Turkish team Anadolu Efes, starting to coach from the 2014–15 season.[4]

On July 1, 2016, Ivković officially retired from professional coaching.[5]

National team coaching

Yugoslavia Universiade team coach and national team assistant

In summer 1983, Ivković coached the Yugoslavia team featuring 18-year-old Dražen Petrović at the Universiade in Edmonton, getting silver after losing to Canada in the final.

Four years later, barely three weeks after assisting Krešimir Ćosić at Eurobasket 1987, Ivković got to coach Yugoslavia again at the Universiade, this time at home in Zagreb. The team, featuring now 22-year-old European superstar Petrović, won gold in dominant fashion.

Yugoslavia head coach

Also in 1987, Ivković succeeded Ćosić as head coach of Yugoslavian national basketball team and held the post until the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991.

FR Yugoslavia

Ivković then assumed the head coaching position of FR Yugoslavia. He guided the team to a gold medal at EuroBasket 1995, in the country's first official appearance since UN lifted sanctions against FR Yugoslavia. Following EuroBasket, Željko Obradović took over as head coach, while Ivković assumed the role of team manager. Both Obradović and Ivković remained in their posts until jointly resigning in November 2000, following a 6th-place finish in the 2000 Olympic Games.[6]

Personal life

Dušan Ivković's elder brother Slobodan "Piva" Ivković, was also a famous basketball player and coach.[7] Ivković is related to the famous Serbian American scientist Nikola Tesla. Ivković's maternal grandmother, Olga Mandić, and Tesla's mother, Đuka Mandić, were first cousins.[2] Coincidentally, Tesla died the same year that Ivković was born.

Ivković is a record holding pigeon racer.[2]
