In his third season, he won the DBL Coach of the Year award.[2] With Den Bosch, he also won his first NBB Cup in 2012–13. After the season Korner's department was announced.[3] His assistant coach Sam Jones became the new head coach.[4]

Korner left Braunschweig on April 30, 2016, and took over head coaching duties at Medi Bayreuth a few days later.[6] He cited Braunschweig's financial condition as a factor in his decision to leave the team.[7]
