There are strong rumors in German media that German NT coach Bauermann will become head coach at FC Bayern München (the football/soccer club, indeed ;-) who finally start to take basketball seriously and invest some money to become a leading club in basketball, too. Bayern München currently plays in second division only but the budget numbers rumored (supposedly 3 mio € for a 2nd div. team) suggest that they'll aim for higher goals quickly. Watch out Barca ;-)
If they really invest serious money, it will have a positive effect on the league and put some pressure on the other "big" German clubs ALBA, Brose Bamberg and EWE Baskets Oldenburg. We'll just have to wait and see what will be confirmed in the next days or weeks. The most interesting bit so far is that they won't take the easy route and just buy into the league (a wildcard for EUR 100k should be available this summer) but want to qualify.
