ACB annoyed for passports' issues. Board will vote on a new regulation

2015/16 - Roster with 12 players: 5 Spanish, 3 bosmans/cotonous, 4 extras.

2014/15 - Roster with 12 players: 5 Spanish, 5 bosmans/cotonous, 2 extras

[aitorful]

Only one thing, the extras can be also bosman or cotonous and of course you can play only with spanish players i f you want.

[Gonzaka]

Instead of Bosman players ACB they always refer to "FIBA Europe countries".
