Even before the vote itself, the league administration did not like it and came out with a harsh reaction against the union, when the conflict between the parties has escalated recently: “If you ask yourself why the vote takes place, the answer That its chairman signed with the principal. Are you confused? We too, “said the principal. “Instead of the basketball association being proud of the progress and professionalism of the basketball super league and the respect it brings to basketball in Israel, and instead of learning and trying to market and brand the national league like the Premier League, the association chooses a childish path and breaks the rules,” they added.
“In the league administration, it was decided to take a consulting company that will check, investigate and draw conclusions regarding the league administration, the structure of the league, the method of the games, the ups and downs, etc. In two months after the program is completed and approved by the board of directors, we will be happy to sit down with the basketball association. We in the Winner Basket League will continue to promote basketball and Israeli basketball and we will continue to reap success despite the obstacles the union is trying to put in our way, “the administration concluded.
