British Basketball League
Homepage: http://www.bbl.org.uk/
An independent company owned
by its member clubs, the British Basketball League
(BBL) governs United Kingdom’s top men’s
basketball confederation. BBL’s jurisdiction
extends to numerous basketball clubs from Glasgow
to Brighton – with each club operating in
a distinct area to maximize commercial and media
value in the local community. To date, there are
10 BBL franchises: Birmingham, Brighton, Chester,
Leicester, London, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Scottish,
Sheffield, and Thames Valley. Every season, these
clubs compete for the BBL Championship, in which
the teams play each other four times over the
course of the season.
BBL considers itself as
the only fully professional league in the UK,
and is administered separately from another federation,
the English Basketball League. The English Basketball
League is different from BBL in that they have
only a limited number of full-time professional
players.
