British Basketball League - Luke - Jun 21, 2007 This is like the main league over in Britian, there are also separate leagues in each of the countries in Britian, but like I have said this is the main one. Everton Tigers are a new team to hit the BBL for next season, which is only about an hour or so away from me, so I may have found a team to support! Quote:The British Basketball League will feature its first-ever team from Merseyside in the 2007-08 season. Birmingham Panthers and London Capital also will join for the 2007/2008 season, and Brighton Cougars will join for the 2008/2009 season. - Black Urum - Jun 21, 2007 Any teams will play in ULEB Cup? - Luke - Jun 21, 2007 Yes, looking at a post by Vilius in that section there is to be team(s) from England in the ULEB cup, how many I am not sure on. Also I presume the teams will be chosen from this league, or they could be picked from Basketball England/Scotland, but BBL is the main league in the UK so I guess they will be picked from this league. Re: British Basketball League - Luke - Jul 2, 2007 Quote:London Capital have named ex-England international and Los Angeles Laker Steve Bucknall as coach for their first British Basketball League season. Re: British Basketball League - TalkBasket - Jul 2, 2007 A positive move for the club. Maybe you could give us more info about their players? Re: British Basketball League - Dave - Jul 13, 2007 Hopefully I will be going to Surrey University in september, which is in Guilford - unsurprisingly the home of Guilford Heat who I've heard are in the ULEB next season. I'll definately be looking to get to a few of their games if I end up there. British Basketball League - TalkBasket - Jul 14, 2007 Are there any news about other British teams planning to play in FIBA Eurocup? Or will it be only Guildford Heat playing in Europe? Re: British Basketball League - Bada Bing - Jul 15, 2007 Only the Heat will play in Europe this year. The spots in the FIBA Cup might have been offered a little too late for clubs in uk to prepare. The BBL is trying to expand and improve internally first with the second step more teams playing in Europe Another team might join Guildford in 08/09 More teams than ever will be playing in nice Arenas in the season after next British Basketball League - TalkBasket - Jul 16, 2007 I see. Thanks for information. Speaking about arenas. What arenas do British clubs have (number of seats, general quality etc.)? Re: British Basketball League - Luke - Aug 16, 2007 A round up of news in the BBL: BBL champions Guildford have signed two-time BBL Player of the Season Tony Dorsey as they gear up for the new campaign at home and in Europe. The power foward, 37, who joins from Newcastle, is one of most experienced players in the BBL and adds to the Heat's free-throw shooting strength. Newcastle Eagles have signed Great Britain point guard Richard Midgley for the forthcoming season. Midgley, 24, who hails from Brighton, spent four successful seasons at the University of California. BBL championships holders Guildford have signed 6ft 7in power forward Chi Lewis-Parry ahead of the new season. The 23-year-old from south-west London played last season with BBL newcomers London Capital after coming through the youth system at London Towers. Re: British Basketball League - Luke - Aug 27, 2007 Another small round up: Quote:BBL champions Guildford Heat have signed point and shooting guard James Jones straight out of college. Quote:Nigerian-born guard Lekan Popoola has joined new BBL Championship outfit the Birmingham Panthers. Quote:BBL outfit Cheshire Jets have completed the signing of Marc Pratt who featured for Great Britain at the 2005 World University Games. British Basketball Association - Dave - Aug 28, 2007 Quote:The British Basketball Association, or BBA for short, is a proposed professional basketball league in the United Kingdom. Stupid fucking idea tbh. Was talking to Vilius about this over MSN and it's pretty much only greed and money driving this forward. If they cared about British basketball whatsoever, they would use their money to help the BBL grow and become stronger against its European counterparts. Instead, they are trying to rival it, most likely in the hope of taking it down, which means years of going nowhere before one prevails. When that happens, we'll most likely be in the same position we are now, just years down the line which is pointless. Re: British Basketball Association - Luke - Aug 30, 2007 What a ridiculous idea. We as a Nation are trying to get Basketball big in this part of the world, and then they go and make another Flaming league, I for one will be sticking with the BBL, the BBA can get stuffed. Good news for Leicester - Luke - Sep 1, 2007 Quote:A housing firm has stepped in to save an ailing Leicestershire basketball team by agreeing to sponsor the club. Good to see someone stepping up and saving the team. Re: British Basketball Association - Dave - Sep 6, 2007 Quote:What a ridiculous idea. < Agreed, although if the BBA features a team from Reading then I might be swayed... Re: British Basketball Association - Luke - Sep 6, 2007 Forgot that will mean there are 3 leagues now isn't there? BBA BBL Basketball England (or whatever its called) Re: British Basketball Association - Dave - Sep 8, 2007 The English Basketball League is kinda like the second division below the BBL, but only in a quality sense as there is no promotion from it to the BBL because of the fact that the BBL is a franchise league and the EBL is not. Teams from the EBL can only gain entry into the BBL via application I believe. Re: British Basketball League - Chavez - Dec 16, 2007 I hear very little mention of Plymouth Raiders these days....apart from being branded as "unfashionable". Currently third in the BBL and showing signs of only improving I think we honestly have a run at the title this year. Currentl your first string point gurd is returning from an Achiles injury which has sidelined hom for the entire season. With his reutrun it can only be good. Drew Lasker lighting it up, DeAntione Beasley being the usual do it all MVP, Terrance Durham finally adjusting after two season s in France and beginning to eat up opposing big men, and various bench players finally adding great depth which Raiders has always seemed to have a fear of. I gaurantee you that another season with this team will result in titles. - Luke - Dec 30, 2007 Latest Table: 1 Newcastle 14 12 2 24 2 Milton Keynes 17 12 5 24 3 Plymouth 15 10 5 20 4 Guildford 12 9 3 18 5 Scottish Rocks 14 8 6 16 6 Sheffield 15 8 7 16 7 Everton 15 7 8 14 8 Leicester 17 7 10 14 9 Cheshire 15 5 10 10 10 Worcester 16 5 11 10 11 London Capital 17 5 12 10 12 Birmingham 15 3 12 6 Obviously new teams London Capital and Birmingham Panthers aren't doing so well yet! - Ali - Jan 7, 2008 I went to see ''the scottish rocks'' at Braehead, they are a good team. They should be higher in the league, in my opinion.
