The study encompasses matches played by 10 teams during 13 consecutive seasons of the EuroLeague. Twenty-two offensive and defensive game related variables were registered. Calculations were performed to establish which of the variables determined performance in the Basketball EuroLeague matches within the analysed period. Based on a number of mathematical and statistical analyses, the elements of play that had the highest effect on sports success were selected. The following determinants displayed the most significant correlations with sport results in the EuroLeague within the analysed period: two-point shots made (2PT-made), two- point shot attempts (2PT-attempts), three-point shots made (3PT-made), one-point shots made (1PT-made), one-point shot attempts (1PT-attempts), assists, fouls and field goals made. The game outcome in basketball is influenced by many variables which may not always be significant in a given match. However, the continuous effort to maintain these variables at the highest possible level is advantageous over less-organised teams. Key words: game analysis; Euro League; performance indicators; regression model; optimization.

    Findbuch zum Archiv des Deutschen Basketball- Bundes e.V. (DBB e.V.) erstellt von den Archivinspektoranwärtern und -anwärterinnen des 53. Fachhochschullehrgangs (FHL) der Archivschule Marburg – Hochschule für Archivwissenschaft – unter Anleitung von Dr. Dominik Haffer Marburg, im Januar 2017 Deutscher Basketball-Bund (DBB) e.V. Der Deutsche Basketball-Bund (DBB) ist ein eingetragener Verein und fungiert als Dachverband für 16 Landesverbände und etwa 2.000 einzelne Vereine und Abteilungen. Der DBB hat neun Nationalmannschaften und organisiert verschiedene deutsche Basketball-Ligen. Er ist zuständig für Regeln, Ausrichtung von Länderspielen und anderer – auch großer internationaler – Events, technische Überwachung, Entwicklung etc. Der DBB wird durch ein Präsidium geführt, bestehend aus einem Präsidenten und aktuell fünf Vizepräsidenten. Diese betreuen verschiedene Bereiche wie Finanzen oder Jugend. Zudem existiert ein Beirat für den Spitzensport. Das Präsidium vertritt den DBB nach außen, trifft Grundsatzentscheidungen und beaufsichtigt die Mitarbeiter der Geschäftsstelle. Die Geschäftsstelle des DBB wird durch einen Generalsekretär geleitet, dem drei weitere Geschäftsbereiche unterstellt sind (Leistungssport, Jugend, Finanzen). Sie übernimmt die eigentlichen Verwaltungsaufgaben und den Geschäftsbetrieb. Zudem findet jährlich eine ordentliche Sitzung des Bundestages des DBB statt, an dem Vertreter des DBB und der einzelnen Landesverbände zusammenkommen und über Fragen der Organisation beraten, Beschlüsse fassen und die Finanzplanung genehmigen. Geschichte des DBB e.V. Frühgeschichte des Basketballs in Deutschland Am 1. September 1934 wurde Deutschland Mitglied der damaligen FIBB, der heutigen FIBA, des Basketball-Weltverbandes. Problematisch ist, dass damals einfach Abteilungen einzelner Handball- Verbände automatisch in die FIBB übernommen wurden. Für Deutschland heißt das, dass es zu diesem frühen Zeitpunkt weder einen richtigen Verband noch eine nennenswerte Organisation gab.
