Board of Moy Tolka Rovers

“I had the pleasure of working very close with Hunor this season assisting him with the NL men’s team. Hunor brought a level of professionalism to our team this year that I have not seen before and I found his approach very interesting. I am always very interested to learn about different coaches approaches to the game and their approach to developing young talent and managing their integration into the team. Personally I learned so much from Hunor in this regard and it has helped me to expand my own approach to coaching the game of basketball. As for the NL team this year, we had many obstacles to overcome at various stages in the season but we came good at the right time and the playoff run was very exciting time for Tolka Rovers. Thanks Hunor for your contribution to the club!”

“Before a few years ago I heard from Hunor Harkai and from our first contact I realized that he is a young coach, who is eager to increase his basketball knowledge. Although I did not have the opportunity to cooperate with him more closely, but he impressed me a lot what kind of way he had in the world of basketball also his determination that first in theory than in practical adopt new important assumptions and like this he is growing up to a successfull coach. Also impresses me his willingness to get the necessary experience in interesting places, which are do not belonging to recognizable basketball places. Harkai is on the right way and he has my full support to keep it up! ”

LADISLAV RATGEBER / World wide famous Head Coach

“Harkai is a very very dedicated coach, always looking at the details who never gives up! “

PAWLU SULTANA / President of Malta Basketball Association

“I accepted to write a few words on Hunor Harkai as I believe, from what I had observed when I got to know him as a coach when he was in Malta helping out not only his team but also other youths and players, that Harkai has all the potential to have a positive effect on athletes with good leadership and communication skills. I observed that Harkai was quite a ‘tireless’ worker, straight forward person but also a ‘student of the game’ and when working with youths, whilst being tough and fair, he stressed fundamentals, solid work ethics and learning to play the game in the ‘right way’. Harkai never gave me any reason to doubt his job and I never saw him lose his composure even in difficult game situation and having respect for authority. In our conversations off the court I noticed that Harkai has a love for sport and the development of young athletes. I am quite confident that Harkai will be successfull both as a coach and as an individual. ”

BERNARD VASSALO / Director of Malta Basketball Association, International FIBA Referee

“I have had the pleasure to work with Hunor throughout his coaching stint here in Malta. He is truly passionate person and he loves the game of Basketball. I think he has a very bright future ahead of his as he never shies away from a challenge. I hope our sports paths will cross again and the world of sports definitely needs more people like Hunor. ”

ORLANDO BONNICI / President of Phoenix Sports Club

“My name is Jonathan Ransley and have been playing competitive basketball for the past 24 years. In 2014 we won the knockout which i must say a great part of that trophy was thanks to Coach Hunor. Although his coaching methods were somewhat different from what we were used, he nonetheless was able to penetrate the bad habits of us players on an individual level, and more than that he focused on basics.”

JONATHAN RANSLEY / Captain of Phoenix Sports Club’s senior men team

“I was honored to work with Coach Hunor in the Danish womens league. Coach Hunor was always well prepared, organized and a big inspiration at every practice. His basketball knowledge is second to none and he is the most dedicated coach I have worked with.”

DAN KRISTIANSEN / Assistant Coach Aabyhøj Womens League

“Harkai came to coach my team in Denmark. I only got to know him for a short period of time. Except of short time, I still got to know a very ambissious, goal-orientated and focused coach. I think my team could have learned so much.”

BIANCA SIMONE MORSØ CHRISTIANSEN / Player of IF Aabyhøj’s women senior team

“During Hunor’s time at Portlaoise Panthers, he brought a great level of experience and a wealth of knowledge with him which saw a noticeable improvement in the development of our players as individuals and as teams.
