British basketball chaos continues as Fiba suspends BBF and bans men’s team

The British Basketball Federation (BBF) has been suspended by the global body Fiba, and the British men's team has been banned from international competition. This dramatic move has put the sport's funding in peril, with Fiba having discussions with UK government officials about the suspension. The suspension is expected to have implications for the financial support of British basketball, which was set to receive £4.75 million over the next four years. Fiba has established a task force to address the issues within the BBF, leading to the suspension and ban. This development continues the ongoing chaos surrounding British basketball, which has been plagued by governance and financial issues. The suspension and ban raise concerns about the future of the sport in the country and its ability to maintain its funding and international competitiveness.
