The 1976/77 season is the eleventh season of the Basketball Bundesliga . The top division in German men's club basketball, until 1990 limited to the territory of West Germany without the GDR , was played in a league with ten teams, followed by relegation and final rounds.
The USC Heidelberg won by outgoing coach Hans Leciejewski the double league and cup competition. The ninth championship title win, but only two of them since the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1966, should be the last for the time being for the then record champions.
In the single-track league, in contrast to the previous season, a final round of the six best teams and a relegation round of the four worst teams with the four best teams of the two-track 2. Basketball Bundesliga 1976/77 were introduced. Except for the results of the final round participants among themselves, who held another round- robin tournament , all main round results were "deleted".
In the relegation round, all the first division clubs were able to keep the class except for BC / USC Munich , for which newcomer TuS Aschaffenburg-Damm rose. For the following season, there was no longer any Munich team in the Bundesliga that had three teams from the Bavarian capital when it was founded in 1966.
