Manchester United Basketball Teams

British basketball looks to Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool for help
06 October 2009 | By Adam Fraser

The British Basketball Association, a new organisation set up by former NBA executives, hopes to appeal to the American owners of Premier League soccer clubs to enlist support in setting up a model common across Europe.

Many of the continent's biggest soccer teams are part of a larger sporting club, usually including a basketball team. Perhaps the most notable examples are Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Madrid Baloncesto have won a record 30 Spanish basketball league championships.

The league's founders, who claim to have some US$25 million to finance their plans, want teams to enter the new competition under the same names as their soccer clubs. They hope to launch next year with eight teams.

Menurut Wikipedia.......

United sebelumnya "pernah" memiliki tim basketball dengan nama yang sama Manchester United.


Manchester United
Halfway through the following season, another major turning point occurred in the Giants' eventful history when Manchester United bought the team, aiming to establish themselves as a major sports club, along the lines of some of the major continental clubs in Italy and Spain. Coach Whelton also played a part in Manchester's sudden upturn in fortunes, making the shrewd signing of Colin Irish who was brilliant in the 1985 Championship Final win over Kingston, scoring 47 points in a 109-97 victory. Players of the calibre of Tom Brown and Dave Gardner, who started the '98-99 season as an assistant to Coach Nurse, were added to the roster for the start of the 1985-86 season in which a club record 23 straight wins helped Manchester United recover from a shaky start to storm to the National League title and the professional era.

BBL
Manchester Eagles
Two barren seasons followed the United title win and the United experiment having failed, the franchise was bought by a group of local businessmen in 1988, who changed the team name to the Manchester Eagles. Jeff Jones returned to coach the team, the start of a reign (1988-94) that would make him the longest-serving coaching in franchise history.
Coach Jones finished fifth in his first season as well as taking the team to the National Cup Final where they lost 87-75 to Bracknell.

A year later, he led Manchester to a second placed finish in the League and the Final of the Trophy. On both occasions, the all-conquering Kingston team edged out Manchester.
That 1989-90 team included memorable players such as Jason Fogerty, Tony Penny, Jerry Johnson, Gardner, Kris Kearney, Keith Ramsey and Kevin St. Kitts - the last four of whom are among the dozen players to have hit 1,000 career points for the franchise over the past 14 years.
