Super League Basketball prepared to split from British game’s governing body
Super League Basketball (SLB) said that after being claimed to have been rejected outside the future discussion of the British Men’s Professional Basketball League, he was going to leave the British Basketball Federation (BBF).
The BBF’s announcement on Wednesday has been awarded the preferred bidder of a group led by the Portland Blazers President Marshall Glickman to find a long -term alliance operator.
BBF said that the bidding process “entered a new stage”, together with Glickman-with partner Chris Dillavou and Arjun Meter, entered an exclusive negotiation period.
However, SLB -was established last summer to replace the British Basketball Alliance that has collapsed on financial issues -indicates that it has not been consulted and is ready to continue within the jurisdiction of BBF.
SLB Chairman Vaughn Millette told Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Sport) that last summer, the Nine Furniture Music Department of the Alliance and BBF “sincerely engaged” and obtained a temporary three -year business license, “then learned that It will adopt a collaborative method to ensure that a collaborative method represents the long -term permit of SLB. “
“After BBF decided to open the invitation to recruit long -term licenses, after the bidding of the men’s professional alliance in the UK, the shareholders and directors of SLB unanimously decided to withdraw the legitimacy of the BBF operation after proposing concerns.
“Although these issues have been conveyed to BBF within a few months, SLB has never received any substantial response, and the bidding documents are not allowed to make any changes to the costs and conditions. This method will make the alliance unable to invest.”
BBF told the BBC Sport that SLB will become a long -term licensee, so SLB “is closely related to the proposed terms and evaluation standards.”
BBF said: “Although the encouragement of BBF, SLB still chooses not to enter the process. This is their decision, but this means that they will not be awarded long -term permits.”
“Now, each club will decide whether to interact with the preferred bidder to understand and-if they are willing-negotiating content.”
