The 2016/17 season is the tenth season of the German ProB basketball division . The ProB is the second season of the hierarchically structured 2nd basketball league . The regular season began on September 24, 2016 and ends on March 4, 2017. This is followed by the play-offs for promotion and the play-down delegation rounds, which end in May 2017 with the second final game.

mode

Twelve teams each in two groups, North and South, take part in this division's play. The regular season is played as a round- robin tournament in the mode everyone against everyone ( English "Round Robin" ) with a return game in the respective regional group. The eight best-placed teams at the end of this main round play the two finalists in the play-offs in the "best-of-three" mode , both of whom acquire the right to participate in the ProA for the following season and play the champions of this division. The teams in positions nine to twelve of each group at the end of the main round play another round-robin tournament with a round trip within the regional groups while maintaining the main round results, with the two teams in the two lowest places in the table relegating to the regional leagues. If more than twelve teams take part in a group, the teams ranked behind twelfth place in the main round are relegated directly.

conditions

The participating clubs must provide proof of their athletic qualifications, economic performance, suitability of technical playing facilities and organizational requirements, which is regulated by the license statute. In addition, the organization of the club, the promotion of young talent and the venue infrastructure are assessed using a point system. In particular, a venue with a capacity for at least 500 spectators is mandatory for participants in the ProB.

During the game there must always be three German players per team on the field, the German players are marked with a German flag on their jerseys. A maximum of 18 players per season and team can be used. At least nine of these must have German citizenship. Of the maximum of twelve players that can be used per game, at least six must be German. There are double licenses for players in the U24 age group, who can therefore be used at the same time in the BBL , as well as for U22 players from the regional leagues (and below). Players with a double license do not count among the 18 maximum usable players, but those with German citizenship do count towards the national quota.

Season Notes

• From the ProA 2015/16 as athletic relegated from the Rhineland, the table penultimate Bayer Giants Leverkusen and the bottom of the table the Dragons Rhöndorf .
• The 2015/16 ProB champion , the Ehingen Urspring team , returned directly to the ProA as promoted and relegated from the previous year, while finalist Skyliners Juniors Frankfurt as a farm team of the first division club, as in previous years, the Oldenburg first division reserve waived promotion and did not have to apply for a license the ProA presented. Instead, the Dresden Titans , who had made a successful license application, rose as the loser in the play-off semi-final against the Frankfurt team.
• Newcomers from the regional leagues were the PS Karlsruhe Lions in the south-west , which then split from the former first division club and new league competitor BG Karlsruhe , which emerged from the PSK, and in the south-east the reserve of the first division club FC Bayern Munich . From the north and west there were two second division returnees with SSV Lokomotive Bernau , most recently played in the ProB 2011/12 in this division, and FC Schalke 04 , which had belonged to the next higher second division division in the ProA 2008/09 .
• With the EN Baskets Schwelm and the Hertener Löwen , two clubs and former first division clubs from the Ruhr area had left ProB Nord after the ProB 2015/16 , while the TV Saarlouis Royals and the BIS Baskets Speyer again left the ProB Süd and relegated to the Regionalliga .
• After two ProA promoted teams from the Rhineland had shifted the regional composition of the squadrons in the previous season so that all teams from North Rhine-Westphalia had played in the North group, the relegation of two teams from the Rhineland now ensured that these two teams were in the group South played. The university giants Leipzig from Saxony , who belonged to the north group in the 2014/15 ProB two years ago , remained in the south group.
• On the last day of the main round, 17-year-old Isaac Bonga scored the only triple-double in the main round with 15 rebounds , ten assists and ten points for the Fraport Junior Skyliners against bottom of the table Giants Nördlingen in the 83:59 home win, which the Frankfurters also eighth in the table secured entry into the play-offs. Nördlingen's Terence Smith had a triple-double of 16 rebounds, 14 points and 10 assists in the relegation game against Lich.
• On March 31, 2017, the university giants Leipzig were deducted two points because payments were not received on time by the league.
