Tomas Van Den Spiegel Re-Elected As ULEB President View Artcile ULEB Press Release Tomas Van Den Spiegel re-elected as ULEB President At yesterday’s ULEB General Assembly current President Tomas Van Den Spiegel was re- elected for the 2020-2024 term. Tomas Van Den Spiegel: “I am happy to be re-elected and thank all member leagues for their confidence. I am looking forward to representing each one of them again for the coming 4 years. It is important to me to maintain the current momentum and togetherness that we have established between all members during my first term. This has culminated amongst others in the competition complaint that was recently filed to the European Commission versus Euroleague. Next to protecting the European sports model, it is essential that we as domestic leagues stand our ground and protect national league basketball in general. Furthermore I will look to build on the improved international relations that have allowed ULEB to be actively involved in discussions and decision making on a number of levels, always looking to protect our members’ interests. As for the future of ULEB we are aiming to optimize the internal functioning of the organization with the installment of a strategic committee that will be exploring ULEB expansion and partnership development amongst other things.” About ULEB: ULEB, the association of the European Basketball Leagues, was founded in 1992 and aims to develop and to defend the rights of the European domestic leagues and their clubs. ULEB members today include ACB (Spain), LNB (France), BBL (Germany), HEBA (Greece), PBL (Belgium), PLK (Poland), DBL (Netherlands), Legabasket (Italy), VTB United League, LKL (Lithuania), BSL (Israel). ULEB is currently minority shareholder of both ECA and of Basketball Champions League SA. .

  • Avoid Relaxing FIBA
    coaches - fundamentals and youth basketball Avoid relaxing by Aíto García Reneses on the court by Sito Alonso Aíto García Reneses was head coach (and also general manager) of Barcelona (Spain) for many years, where his teams won three Division I championships, three Spanish Cups, one King's Cup, two FIBA Europe, and two Korac Cups. He has been head coach of Badalona (Spain) since 2003, where he won one FIBA Europe (2006), one King's Cup (2008) and ULEB Cup (2008). He also was awarded Coach of the Year of the ULEB Cup 2007-08. Sito Alonso started his coaching career in 1987 with the youth teams of Zaragoza (Spain); then he was responsible for youth teams at Monzòn, where he also was head coach of the first team (EBA league) from 1999 to 2004. He has been assistant coach of Badalona since 2006, where his teams won FIBA Europe (2006), King's Cup (2008), and the ULEB Cup (2008). Twenty years ago, many people criticized player rotations. The possible explanation was that people were not used to seeing rotations on the court and they thought that many advantages were lost, such as the possibility of giving the most minutes to the five best players on the team. Currently, however, all good (and even the not-so-good) teams use rotations. The most important advantage of this is that teams can play at the highest athletic lev- els. When a player is fatigued, he can re- couperate and recover his energy on the bench and not on the court. That said, players still relax on the court.

CREDITS 5 he ULEB Cup starts its sixth season hoping to offer fans the highest quality ba- sketball and with the conviction of having consolidated the competition in a high T sporting level, following close behind Euroleague Basketball. MONBILE This year we have set ourselves new challenges by modifying some crucial aspects of the competition with the aim of improving its competitiveness and quality. For the first time in ULEB Cup history we will have 54 teams participating. The expansion of the competition has been necessary due to the high number of requests to participate in the ULEB Cup competition received from clubs as well as our desire to maintain the high competitiveness and quality of the participating teams. I believe that we have achieved both goals. We have 54 teams from 26 different countries, including 7 countries which are completely new to the ULEB Cup competition: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Estonia, Montenegro, Switzerland, Ukraine and Romania.

  • Critical Review of Euroleague Basketball's Financial Stability and Fair Play
    Critical Review of Euroleague Basketball’s Financial Stability and Fair Play (FSFP) Regulations Can the stated objectives be achieved? 2nd Report Author - Cem C Karamürsel Date – June 20, 2017 Content . Introduction . Current Situation & Relevant Facts . Critical Assessment of the FSFP Criteria . Key Conclusions & Comments . Suggestions for Improvement 20.06.2017 © Cem C Karamürsel 2 Introduction Since the beginning of 1990s, European basketball has gone through a quite turbulent period experiencing major structural and economic challenges, mainly caused by (i) deficit of demand (especially compared to football), (ii) certain governance issues (e.g. FIBA vs ULEB/Euroleague), and (iii) lack of a rational and sustainable economic model. Failure in creating and establishing such a model led to the situation that some traditional teams with a very successful history (such as Limoges, Benetton Basket, Kinder Bologna and more recently Montepaschi Siena and so on) have disappeared from the top-level European competition. Without any doubt, since its inception, Euroleauge Basketball has achieved quite a remarkable progress in enhancing the commercial value of the top-level European basketball league and significantly increasing the competition’s revenues. However, it still cannot be argued that the operating model of European basketball is now based on economically sound and rational principles & practices. In an effort to strengthen the financial stability of its clubs and to improve its financial governance model, Euroleague Basketball enacted its Financial Stability and Fair Play Regulations (FSFP). In this study, we perform a critical review of the financial criteria as set out in the FSFP rules (as stated in 2016-2017 Bylaws), both from an economic and legal perspective, also considering the “current reality” in European Basketball.
