Wow! For this to happen to one of the best teams in Asia is very alarming!
I'm hoping that there are many sponsers that would be interested in helping them out.

What the hell? What details can you give us mohsena?

this year iran sport government body sent Saba Battery Club (Football and Basketball) to Qom and the Club management changed, but now after 3 monthes, they said that they cant support basketball team ! because their budget is limited and Football is more important !!! (Saba Battery football club will play in 2009 AFC Champions League)

but i think finally Saba Battery will stay in the league (at least this year)

5 possible choices:
1) dissolve / 15%
2) stay in Qom with Saba Battery / 40%
3) stay in Qom with another sponsor / 10%
4) back to Tehran with Saba Battery / 30%
5) back to Tehran with another sponsor / 5%

first week :

Shahrekord 84 - BEEM 79
quarters: 24-18, 42-35, 60-58
Ararat 94 - Gorgan 92
quarters: 22-23, 49-46, 69-72
Mahram 76 - Khorasan Razavi (ex Aboumoslem) 71
quarters: 14-16, 44-34, 65-50

poor start for titleholder !
Mahram had 3 national players today and this result is not acceptable againt an unknown team ! Mashhadi team is really young , their famous player is Milad Mazrae (captain of Iran 2006 U18 team). they lost the match but they did a great job in last quarter.

another good result for young teams ! BEEM lost to Shahrekord !
i still dont know the their roster they beat one of the favorites ! huge surprise !

Moshen jhan is it true, Akbar Shah owns a team as well as a football team, amazing how the "pistacho sales man" owns everything in iran if this is true.

The League just started - Oct 24, 2008 (by Mohammad Ahmadi)

The professional league in Iran just started. It's a very big controversy in 08-09 season as teh main candidate for championship title - Saba Battery - lost their main sponsor and may be out of the competition.
It's very strange that three games of the first round were already cancelled. So instead of 6 games, there were only half of them played. Hopefully the teams will be able to just postpone these games and play them on later date. The reason of other matches being cencelled was that Azad University Team is not completed yet, Zob Ahan had some players in Iran University Basketball Team and they just arrived in middle of the week. And Saba Battery has no sponser for being in competition. The other team named Shiraz a.s Pipe had rest for first week.
Last season champion Mahram had unexpectedly tough game against newcomer Aboomoslem. But 76-71 gave them already leadership position at the beginning of the season.
Without Kaveh and eventually Saba (both made Final Four last year) there may be completely different league this season.

Round 1 results:
Mahram - Aboomoslem 76-71
Ararat - Gorgan 94-92
Shahrekord - BEEM 84-79

thanks for Shiraz website ! they have a good starting lineup but their backup players are weak ! ( i heard that they are negotiating with Amini !)

I also found out that Erfan Nasajpour (Iranian-Canadian) has signed for Zob Ahan (http://www.baseline.co.hu/ffi_en.php)
