Zoran Trivan is a Serbian basketball coach and a former player, best known for his long tenure in youth development and club coaching roles across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. After ending his playing career, he took up coaching and held assistant and head coach positions at every level. Additionally, he participated in numerous international camps and clinics.
Playing career
[edit]Trivan began playing at the local club of Fruškogorac in Sremska Kamenica, where he served as a playmaker for their junior and senior teams. At the ge of 23 he finished his playing career while at the Novi Sad Basketball Club, in order to focus full-time on coaching.
Coaching career
[edit]Early coaching in Yugoslavia
[edit]In 1993 Trivan joined the newly-promoted Elkond Beočin team as assistant coach under Jovan Malešević.[1] After Miroslav “Muta” Nikolić took over in 1994, Trivan remained assistant and individual skills coach. During this period the club won the Yugoslav B League and — after being renamed BC BFC‐Beočin — reached two consecutive Yugoslav Cup semi-finals (1994–95, 1995–96) and the 1996 Yugoslav playoff final against Partizan.[2][3]
On 17 November 1996, Trivan made his senior debut as acting head coach and led BFC‐Beočin to a 69–68 upset against Partizan in front of 2,500 fans in Belgrade. That season he achieved 13 wins in 14 games, earning “Coach of the Circuit” honors three times, and recording victories over Partizan, Crvena zvezda and FMP. BFC‐Beočin ultimately lost in the league quarter-finals and in the EuroCup round of 16 against Verona’s Mesh.[4]
Women’s and overseas appointments
[edit]In 1997–98 he took charge of the women’s ŽKK Vojvodina team, guiding it into the national playoff semi-finals, where they narrowly lost to Port MK.[5]
Afterwards, Trivan held head coach posts at Al-Ittihad (Libya), A.S. Sale (Morocco) with whom he won both pioneer and cadet titles in 2012–13. He also coached clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Israel and Poland. In 2017 he co-directed the Starlet Basketball No Borders international camp in Lahore, Pakistan, and since January 2021 he has served as a coordinator and junior team coach at the Legia Warsaw Academy in Poland.[6][7][8]
Camps, clinics and player development
[edit]Since 1992 Trivan has been active in Serbian summer camps (e.g. Zlatiborbasket, Kasta, TEO4) offering private skill development sessions. He discovered and nurtured talents such as Milan Gurović, Aleksej Pokuševski, Gordana Grubin and others, with many of his protégés going on to U.S. collegiate careers.[9]
In August 2000 he co-hosted an international coaching clinic in Beijing with coach Vladimir Bošnjak, and in 1997 was selected by the Association of Basketball Coaches of Yugoslavia to observe the EuroLeague Final Four in Rome.[10][11]
