NEW Basketball Australia chief executive officer Larry Sengstock says the revamped elite men's league "desperately" needs an Adelaide presence.
Pressed further on what the future held for Adelaide fans of NBL basketball, Van Groningen said: "I would find it hard to picture a league without the Adelaide 36ers."
In that he has an ally in incoming BA chief executive Sengstock, who starts in the challenging role today.
"The bottom line in my mind is we're attempting to and wanting to get teams in each of the major cities," he said last night.
"The Adelaide 36ers have been there for 27 years.
"We would desperately like to see an Adelaide team in the (new) league. Of course time is of the essence. The time frame is getting shorter - no doubt about that."
