BBL To Seek Advice Following Basketball England’s Licence Review Announcement

By Sam Neter on January 28, 2015

The British Basketball League is seeking legal advice following on from Basketball England’s announcement they will be reviewing the pro league’s operating license.

In a statement released today the BBL said:

“The BBL was not advised of this release in advance. The BBL also does not believe the process set out by Basketball England is credible, or contractually compliant, or has the options implied. BBL is disappointed it’s Governing Body put this matter into the public domain, because of the inevitable damage to the sport.

“BBL is awaiting a response to a letter sent to Mr. Hagen, the Chairman of BE on 29th December 2014.

“BBL is taking further advice, and reserves all rights.”

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
