Changes from 2016–17

edit

As in previous seasons, LBA clubs must play in arenas that seat at least 3,500 people.[59] From 2017–18 season, all clubs must host their home playoffs matches in arenas with a seating capacity of at least 5,000 people.[60]

In summer 2016, four Italian teams (Reggio Emilia, Trento, Sassari and Cantù) were forced to withdraw from EuroCup because of the FIBA and Euroleague Basketball controversy.[61] From this season, Italian Basketball Federation will allow LBA clubs to rejoin EuroCup. There will be at least six teams in Europe. One in EuroLeague (Olimpia Milano directly enter the EuroLeague as licensed club), two in EuroCup (but they are negotiating with ECA for a third spot) and three in Basketball Champions League.[62] Lega Basket decided Italian Clubs will be free to choose in which European Cup they want to play, based on final ranking and sports merit.[63]

Rules

edit

Each team is allowed either five or seven foreign players under two formulas:

  1. 5 foreigners from countries outside the European Union
  2. 3 foreigners from countries outside the EU, 4 foreigners from EU countries (also including those from countries signatory of the Cotonou Agreement)

Each club can choose the 5+5 formula, that consists of five Italian players and five foreign players, and the 3+4+5 formula, with five Italian players, three foreigners from countries outside the EU and four foreigners from EU countries or "Cotonou Countries".[64]

At the end of the season there will be a prize of €500.000,00 for the top three ranked teams, that had chosen the 5+5 formula, considering the playing time of Italian players, and €200.000,00 for those teams that will obtain the best results with their youth sector.[65]

Regular season

edit

In the regular season, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The eight first qualified teams advanced to the Playoffs, the last seven qualified teams were eliminated, while the last one qualified team was relegated and replaced by the winner of the playoffs of the second-level Serie A2 Basket. The matchdays were from October 1, 2017 to May 9, 2018.

The 2017 Italian Supercup, also called Prozis Supercoppa 2017 for sponsorship reasons, was the 23rd edition of the super cup tournament of the Italian basketball. The Supercup opened the season on 23 and 24 September 2017, and it was contested in the Unieuro Arena in Forlì.[112]

EA7 Emporio Armani Milano were the defending champions.[113]

Cup

Main article: 2018 Italian Basketball Cup

The 50th edition of the Italian Cup, knows as the PosteMobile Final Eight for sponsorship reasons,[117] was contested between 16 and 19 February 2017 in the Nelson Mandela Forum, Florence.[118] Eight teams qualified for the Final Eight were Avellino, Brescia, Milano, Venezia, Torino, Cantù, Bologna and Cremona.[119]

EA7 Emporio Armani Milano were the defending champions.[120]

Fiat Torino made it to the Italian Cup final after edging Vanoli Cremona in overtime 87–92. Cremona's Simone Fontecchio drove for a layup with 16 seconds to go in the regulation to tie the game at 80-80, and Fiat failed to convert the final possession of the fourth quarter to win the game. But Diante Garrett scored a basket and Sasha Vujačić hit a triple midway through the extra session to give Fiat 83–88, the lead it never relinquished. Garrett finished with 18 points, Vander Blue scored 17, while Vujačić netted 15 points with 7 rebounds. Deron Washington amassed 13 points plus 13 rebounds in victory, while Fontecchio had 16 points in defeat. The second semifinal also went into overtime in which Germani Basket Brescia ousted Red October Cantù 82–87. Luca Vitali collected 19 points and 9 rebounds, while Marcus Landry had 17 points for the winners. Charles Thomas scored 20 points, and Jeremy Chappell amassed 17 points plus 13 rebounds for Cantù.[121]

In the final game Sasha Vujačić’s layup in the dying seconds lifted Fiat Torino to a 69–67 victory over Germani Basket Brescia for the club's first Italian Cup. After a series of threes in the closing seconds left the game tied, Brescia had the ball for what appeared to be the final possession, however Marcus Landry and Luca Vitali each missed from downtown, Deron Washington picked up the loose ball and started a fast break that Vujacic finished with the winning layup. Diante Garrett paced Fiat with 16 points, Nobel Boungou Colo and Vander Blue added 11 points apiece and Washington scored 10 for the winners. Landry paced Brescia with 22 points and 9 rebounds and Michele Vitali added 14 points in defeat.[122]

Vander Blue of Torino was named Finals MVP of the competition.[123]
