The
Unofficial Australian NBL Site
Nothin' But Net--a new site which claims
to be the "Australia's new home of
basketball"-- some multimedia stuff, and lots of
good new and information, from professional to
international amatuer, to juniors. Very nicely done.
The
Melbourne Tigers--different than the other site
listed below, this appears to be a new site, which is
going to focus on the Melbourne Junior youth teams. Wait
to see how it develops, but it looks pretty nice.
The
Australian Women's NBL
The
Sydney Coca-Cola Kings-- The official NBL site for the
Kings. With the Lakers colors, and the Kings logo, its
pretty cool. With a page devoted to the WNBL team from
Sydney, the Flames.
The
Adelaide 36'ers-- another NBL
site; nice design
The
Brisbane Bullets--another NBL team site
The
Canberra Cannons-- NBL site, heavy on graphics and
music, slow to load, but pretty nice when you get there.
The
Illawara Hawks-- NBL site of the home team from
Wollongong.
The
Melbourne Tigers--Nice NBL site. Lots of
information, nicely designed (9/97: no longer being
maintained with new information--still the old archives
though)
The
Newcastle Falcons--One of the better NBL sites. Very
complete and nice graphics
The
North Melbourne Giants-- appears to be an
"unofficial" NBL site, with one of the
strangest logos around-- they are the "Booze Less
Giants". . . Only down under. . . The actual real
logo simply says they are the "North Melbourne"
Giants
The Perth Wildcats--Site of the 1990, 1991
and 1995 NBL Champions
The
Southeast Melbourne Magic--an NBL site; frames and
busy graphics, but very informative
The
Townsville Suns-- yet another NBL site, simple and
straightforward
Australian
State Associations
Basketball
NSW (New South Wales)-- The official site of the State
Association for New South Wales. Information and links to
state leagues, school leagues, amateur leagues, and the
Sydney professional teams. Be sure to check out the
Shootin' Hoops page, the magazine of NSW Basketball.
Basketball
Canberra--The
State of Canberra Association--Site devoted to mostly
"U-10's through U-20's", i.e., juniors and
youth league basketball, and Canberra's
"elite", i.e., all-star teams for juniors.
Amateur
Teams & Associations
Basketball
Australia: The Official Home of Basketball in Australia:
Nothin' But Net-- Amateur, juniors, olympics,
international, NBL and NBA, WNBA, WNBL, and more. A very
well done site.

summer's (or winter depending upon where you are) world
competition.
The
Geraldton Buccaneers of the SBL--The SBL is the Skywest
Basketball League, part of the GABA (Geraldton Amateur
Basketball Association league). This is a very well done
site, with some great graphics.

The Phillipine Basketball Association.
Basketball

the Winnipeg Cyclone, from the new International
Basketball Association, the IBA (not
the UBA). Coaching information, player and league info.

European Basketball Servers
(General)
Euroster--A very complete web
server, with links and info, stats and scores on
virtually every European team, pro and national, and data
on Americans playing abroad. Also world-wide basketball
links.
The
European Basketball Server-- Complete Links to Every
Country on the Continent
Primer
on International Basketball from NBA.com--an old and seemingly
inaccessible page if you go through the
"front-door" at NBA.com, but still accessible
here--only the text info andpage background--the small
graphics are missing.
Official FIBA-Server--The "Official"
site of International Basketball. With Press Releases,
Photo Gallery, Calendar Section (schedules), Results and
Standings, International Rules, and a "FIBA
Boutique" where you can buy merchandise.
Austrian
Basketball (EUROSTER)--Page from Euroster, with all the
teams in both the Bundesliga "A" and
"B", and the
National Team roster. Basketball in Austria appears to
be a "club" sport, with club teams divided into
two different divisions (A and B). Club teams also
sponsor "farm teams", junior teams, youth, and
school age teams, and a "minis" league. The
Euroster site, however, only focuses on the men's
"major" teams, and provides standings in
Austrian league play and stats. The men's league consists
of the following teams (note: Links are to pages for each
team on the Euroster Server):
Some
of the above clubs also have their own pages, or fan
pages, with information on the other divisions of play
(e.g., juniors, farm, youth, etc) on the web:
UBC-Stahlbau
Oberwart--
Unofficial site for this Division "A" team.
BK
Klosterneuburg (Dukes)-- This team plays in the Bundesliga
"A." The team currently features Trent Jackson,
and Shawn Fergus (Cleveland State).
96er
Wels-
Unofficial site--The "Red Wolves" fanclub site.
ABC Hali Dornbirn--Unofficial site for this
Bundesliga "B" team. Features information on
the Men's team, the "farm" team, juniors and
youth league basketball. Very interesting site.
Union Basket Sport Club
Graz
-Official site--Bundesliga "B" team)
Basketball
aus Loosdorf--Appears to be a junior/men's under
22 team. Actually, it's all in German, and I'll be darned
if I can figure it out. Either it's about an amateur team
or its about drinking beer, or maybe about a beer
drinking team that likes to watch/play basketball (at
least that's what it looks like since virtually every
picture either features someone drinking, throwing up, or
holding a beer bottle, and no player action shots, unless
you consider the one of those two guys who appear to be
about to kiss each other??). Strange. . . .
UKJ
Tyrolia Wien--A junior and youth club team page,
also features information on Bundesliga A and B, and
information on the Junior and Tyrolian teams. Again, it's
mostly in German. Team plays in the Tyrol-Vienna League
with teams such as Wien/Avanti, the Vienna Magic, and WAT
14.
Union
Basketball - Club Wien/AVANTI--A junior and youth
(under-22, under 19, and youth) club team playing in the
Tyrol-Vienna league.
The International Vienna Youth Basketball
Tournament--
a mostly English language site, on "Basketball
Vienna", featuring Tournament results for 1997, and
a roster of participating teams in the International
tournament, and the teams participating in the local
Vienna youth leagues for Boys and Girls. Site also
features a Tournament History page, with results dating
back to 1990.
Belgian
Basketball--Euroster
Site. As with most European leagues, this one has many
American and other foreign players. The "I"
Division teams are professional and sponsored by major
corporations; the "II" Division appears to be
more of a "semi-pro" division. The site is very
complete, featuring all of the rosters for all divisions,
the National
Team
roster, a register of all foreign Import
Players
playing in the Belgian League, and a register of Belgians
playing abroad. The site features all the Division
I and Division II teams, standings, scores and schedules
for the following teams (Note: links are to the Euroster
Server team pages):
Other
Beligian Links:
BBC Good-Year Belgacom Okapi Aalst--The official site for
this Division I team. Some of the links to various pages
appear not to work.
Belgacom Quaregnon--The official site for
this Division I team. It's great if you speak or read
French, but for those who don't then you'll have to just
look at the pictures.
Belgacom Quaregnon--The unofficial fan site
for the Division I team. Graphics-heavy, but still loads
quick enough not to be annoying. Again, it's all in
French.
Belgian
Basketball Web-from Alan T. Guinness. The site
plays "Eye of the Tiger" so if you don't want
to hear it, turn off your sound. Stats, News and
Standings on the Belgian League.
Racing
Basket Antwerpen--a pretty nice site on this team
from Antwerp. Standings, news and teams. But none of it
is in English, and the site proudly announces that it's
an "all Flemish site". So if you don't speak
Flemish, just look at the pretty pictures.
Cybel
Basket--a
totally French-language site, featuring links to
Euroster, FIBA, and some information on the Belgian
League, European Cups, standings, and stats.

Men--1995
Season Belgian League

Men--1995/96

Bulgaria
Bulgarian
Basketball (EUROSTER)--This is the Euroster page for
Bulgarian Basketball. Bulgaria is also the new home of
Randy Duck (96' University of California Berkeley), who
played behind Jason Kidd on the Cal 93' team that
defeated Duke on it's way to the NCAA "sweet
16". Features information on all the teams in league
competition, National
Team Rosters, and European Cup team information.
*new
team for Randy Duck (Cal 96')
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnian Basketball- Euroster Site featuring
the National
Team Rosters, a listing of Bosnian's
playing abroad, and full information, schedules
and scores on the Bosnian Division I Teams, including European
Championship information. Teams competing in
Division I are the following:
Croatia
Croatian
Basketball-- Euroster Site. Features information on the National
Team roster, Croatians
playing abroad, Import
players on Croatian teams, and individual pages on
each team in the Men's League. Teams for 97-98 (Note:
Links are to Euroster team pages):
Basketball
in Croatia--from
the Croatian Sports server; all in English, fairly well
organized; predictions and results for all Division I
teams, history of Basketball in Croatia, and links to
FIBA.
Cyprus
Cyprus
Basketball--from
Kyros Hadjikyrou, currently a student at the University
of Kansas; apparently the only source for Cyprus
Basketball on the Web; even Euroster's server points to
this page. This information is very out of date, from the
1995-96 season.
Czech
Basketball--from
the Euroster Server. Features include the standard
Euroster fare, including National
Team Roster, Czech's
Playing Abroad, Imports
on Czech Teams, and individual pages on the teams
in the Division I Men's League (Note: links below are to
Euroster team pages):
Czech
Basketball--in
Czech (or Slovakian). . .all I know is that it's not in
English, and I didn't understand a word of it. There is,
however, a small logo of a "Union Jack" on the
home page. Click on it to get the English language
version. Features info on the Men's and Women's National
Teams, Links to other Czech sites, CBF News, and Men's
and Women's League teams and standings.
USK
Erpet Praha--a fan page for this Division I
Club, featuring both women's and men's division teams. If
you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page,
you'll find an English version (look for the "Union
Jack" again). The webmaster's writing doesn't
translate terribly well, but it's passable. The team
dates back to 1954, and presently competes in the
"F" Division of the European Cup with Greece.
For information contact the webmaster, Michael Kubucek.
Ostracolor
Pardubice--a
very stark page, featuring only a yellow background, and
links to four or five internal pages of the site, on
players, archives of past seasons, standings and
schedules, and the "Ostracolor Cup".
Spolchemie
Usti nad Labem--absolutely not understandable
unless you read Czech. Nothing in English. There is,
however, a very nice picture of the team, looking like an
entire team of Vlade Divacs (before the trade that is),
in their Laker-look-alike uniforms. Again, not a single
English phrase and no translation available. However, if
you do read Czech, there's lots of information on the
team, and if you go to "Info Region" there's a
very nice picture of the Czech area where this team
plays. "Spolchemie" is the team's sponsor, a
large chemical firm.
Denmark
Danish
Basketball--from
Euroster. The standard Euroster fare is featured here:
National Team Roster, Import Players, Danes Playing
Abroad, and Division I Men's Basketball Team rosters,
stats, schedules and news. Team are listed below (Note:
Links are to Euroster pages):
Official
Danish Sites and/or Fan's Team Sites:
Basketball Federation of
Denmark--completely
in Danish, but then what did you expect? Unless you speak
Danish, there's not much you'll understand here. Nice
site though.
Skovbakken--Danish men's and women's
team site for the Skovbakken club, also featuring Elite
Men's team. Entirely in Danish.
Vaerlose Basketball Club-- A Division I East
Conference team site, which is mostly in Danish, but be
sure to check the "Coach's Corner" on the
navigation bar on the left: It leads to a page written by
the coach which is in English, and gives a pretty good
overview of the team and the players, including some
American transplants, such as Eric Lytle and Stacey
Johnson. Also be sure to check out the description of the
trip to Berlin written by Coach Woodward; it's pretty
funny. Actually, most of this site is pretty
understandable. There's a "Gaestebog"
(Guestbook), a page for the Sponserer (Sponsor), and
other stuff mostly in Danish. Loads fast.
BK
Odense--
The Official Site for this West Conference Team. Both
Men's and Women's team information. Nice, clean design;
reminds me of Danish furniture; spartan but functional.
Esbjerg--Appears to be a fan page
for a Danish team. All in Danish, and not very
functional. A couple of nice java applets though.
Greve
Basket--A
single web page for downloading a Chicago Bulls logo
screen saver (at least that's what it says it is--in
Danish). If you're pressed for time, or want anything
with substance, forget it.
Holbæk--A club team page,
entirely in Danish, featuring men's and women's
information.
Hvidovre--only a single page, with
the address, telephone number, and some other info (all
in Danish) for this Division 3 team.
Jonstrup--a club team site, with
information on juniors, "mini's" (presumably
youth), men's and women's teams. All in Danish.
PiiBBK--only a single page, with
no functional links for this (apparently) club team, with
women's, men's and "old boys" divisions. Not
very interesting.
Silkeborg
KFUM--club
team site. All in Danish, with fully functional links and
sub-pages for team rosters and schedules. Links to other
Danish sites as well as FIBA.
Silkeborg
KFUM Streetbasket-- 1997 competition in Denmark.
Skjold
Birkerod--A
Danish Club team site, with pages for women's team, men's
team, schedules and standings.
Terndrup--A single page for this
club team, says it's "under construction"
(isn't that annoying?), which has not been updated since
1995-96. All the workers must be on strike. Page contains
information for contacting the team via mail and
telephone.
Virum--Men's and women's Danish
club team site; fully functional site, with rosters for
all teams, schedules, standings, and links to other
Danish and European sites.
Association
of Basketball Coaches in Denmark--A very nice site, with an
English version option. Not much content yet, but
certainly promising. The Association was only recently
formed in May, 1997, but they hope to establish a few
clinics before the end of the year.
Estonian
Basketball--The
Euroster site, featuring information on the National
Team,
European
Cup competition, Import
Players
(including Randy Edney--is he related to Tyus?), and all
the Division I Teams:

Euroster. Links, Finns
playing Abroad, Imports, and Team pages.

Finnish competition, and links to Michael Jordan and
Barkley pages. In English.
YMCA
Lahti--Club
sports pages for hockey, soccer and basketball from the
Lahti YMCA. In Finnish.
Kouvot
Kouvola--Unless
you understand Finnish, this site is totally
indecipherable. It does have a few .gif graphics of
basketballs and some team logos.
Huima--Official for this club,
with junior team information as well. Entirely in
Finnish.
Torpan Pojat--Very nice site, all in
Finnish, looks comparable to many NBA team sites.
Korihait--Finnish language
site--articles on Basketball in Finland
Uusikaupunki

collection of Finnish Basketball links.

Basketball
The Japanese Basketball
League--Mostly
in Japanese, but thee are English versions of the pages
too. Warning: This site loads very slowly, and appears to
be designed so that it looks best in 1152 x 864
resolution, way too large for most users to view
comfortably. Be patient and you will get to the
"English Here" box. Once you click on it,
you'll be taken to a page mostly in Japinglish. Be sure
to visit the "JBL Beginners" page. for example,
you'll find the following from one of the League's front
office types about why the JBL was formed:
"In
Japan, basketball can be learned in physical education
and we know it gives anybody great time regardless the
sex of the person. However, it seems only few people know
this.
"We just would like you to feel easy to watch
basketball games, and to have fan.[sic]
Only one time trip to gymnasium would be enough for
basketball to fascinate you. "
Actually
only a "one time trip" to this site will leave
you fascinated at the way the Japanese culture views the
sport and how it is promoted. The League features both a
women's and a men's division. Be sure to check it out.
