ProA 2009/10

The 2009/10 season is the third season of the German ProA basketball division . The ProA is the first season of the hierarchically structured 2nd basketball league . The regular season began on September 25, 2009 and ended on April 24, 2010.

mode

16 teams took part in the league. The two best-placed teams acquired the right to participate in the basketball Bundesliga (BBL). The two worst teams relegated to the lower season Pro B of the second division.

conditions

The participating teams had to prove a minimum budget of 400,000 euros and a venue with a capacity for 1,800 spectators. When there were too few applicants who could meet these conditions, a points system was introduced for awarding licenses.

During the game, two German players per team always had to stand on the field, the German players were marked with a German flag on their jerseys.

A maximum of 18 players per season and team could be used. At least nine of them had to be German citizens. Of the maximum of twelve players that could be used per game, at least six had to be German. There were double licenses for players in the U24 age group with the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and for U22 players from the regional leagues (and below). These players do not count among the 18 maximum players, but they do count towards the national quota (provided they are German).

Season Notes

• The Kaiserslautern Braves were called Saar-Pfalz Braves from this season after they played their games mainly in Homburg since last season .
• Schalke 04 Basketball renounced a license and was downgraded to the Regionalliga West , while the Dukes Wolfenbüttel from the ProB waived their right to promotion.
• Due to the renunciation of the Cologne 99ers on a BBL license and the return of the first division license by the Giants Nördlingen , there was no athletic relegation from the BBL 2008/09 . In contrast to the insolvent Cologne, the Nördlinger continued to play in the ProA.
• The climbers from the ProB were: Merlins Crailsheim and, due to license waiver of other clubs, UBC Hannover Tigers and USC Freiburg .
