Trumbo was chosen in the third round of the
1982 NBA draft, (number 49 overall), by the
Utah Jazz. However, he did not end up making it into the
NBA. He signing up instead with the Ohio Mixers of the
Continental Basketball Association (CBA), where he played one season, before moving to
Spain. His first two seasons in Spain, playing for the team
Fórum Valladolid, were a good start to his career, as he attained the status of being the
Liga ACB's best in rebounding, during two consecutive seasons. In 1985, he signed with
FC Barcelona, where he played seven seasons, between 1985 and 1992, and attained his greatest achievements: he won 4
Spanish League championships, 3
Spanish Cups, and one
Prince of Asturias Cup. In 1992, he signed with
Caja San Fernando of
Sevilla, where he played his last two seasons of his profession. In 1994, he retired, and started a career as a
basketball coach. One characteristic that made him popular during his years in the Spanish league is that he shot free throws with his eyes closed. == Basketball teams as a player ==
