CB Granada

Club Baloncesto Granada is a professional Basketball team based in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. CB Granada plays in ACB.

History

The campaign would be following the launch of the entity. After an exceptional competition, proclaimed champion in the final eight disputed in Lugo. Although during that year it had been agreed that there would be no promotions, the CB Granada, in a joint operation with the City, bought the plaza of Salamanca (agreement closed on June 14 by 400 million pesetas plus VAT), which allow for militaría first time in the ACB, which demanded their transformation into joint stock company sports. Thus, the club became Club Baloncesto Granada SAD.

The arrival in the elite

In the first incursion into the elite (96-97), Jose Alberto Pesquera as coach, 'Cebé' also disputed the Korac Cup (right acquired with the purchase of Salamanca), which reached the finals dieciseisavos: eliminated by the Banco di Roma (88-70 at the Palais des Sports in Palasport and 94-65). In the domestic competition concluded in the thirteenth place.

The course follows (97-98) began with Pedro Martinez as a coach, but the results were not accompanied Catalan and ended up being replaced by Antonio Gomez Nieto before the start of play off for eternity. In the final series before the city of Huelva, the excitement would persist until the last meeting, which was held in a Palace of Sports packed and the outbreak of jubilation with the decisive basket, which meant salvation-John Williams two seconds from the end. The chairman and was then Carlos Marsá, which had acquired almost all the shares of the entity.

For the new financial year (98-99) the club hired Miguel Angel Martin, although Madrid ended resigning because of his disagreements with the president and the administration of the club. The team was plunged into a desperate situation. The coordinator of quarry, David Cardenas, went to the bench, while his stock of 0 wins and 6 defeats forced to seek, to the desperate, a coach with experience: Iñaki Iriarte. However, the bloc did not lift his head and fell, along with Murcia, the LEB.

Climb on the court

Subsequently, the CB Granada tried nurtured players top level, but the season (99-00) again prove baleful: Iriarte, personal problems, presented his resignation, which caused the interim Enrique Gutierrez and the subsequent hiring of Jose Alberto Pesquera, nor would finish its work (dismissal after a pitiful defeat in Cordoba, before the Cajasur). So, the leaders opted again by Antonio Gomez Nieto to reach port as dignified as possible: eliminated in eighths by the CB Murcia.

For the attempt to climb back (00-01), it appeared that Gomez Nieto (coach) and Gutierrez (sports director) had succeeded in forming a template guarantees (the first regional title in the history of the club, the League which won the Andalusian - imposed interestingly, as this year-Caja San Fernando in the semifinals and Unicaja in the final, so pointing), but the economic problems crossed the road and the team was left with only one extra (Antwon Johnson Harmon ), since Steve Hood left the club in November, as well as Jens Uwe Gordon, Guillermo and Rafael Talaverón Coll. But, the survivors found-in a display of effort, confidence and unity-qualify for the playoffs as a quart classified. Eliminaron the Inca and crossed semifinals with Minorca, which had noqueado the big favorite (Leon), and the stadium factor favouring the Andalusians. And again in a final and dramatic party certifying promotion.

Gomez Nieto remained as coach in the return and, with a staff of some level and right mix of youth and veteranía, materialized stay comfortably (since the fourteenth), with victories at FC Barcelona, Pamesa Valencia, Caja San Fernando or Real Madrid and the individual records of Nacho Ordín (98.2% shooting, with a series of 53/54) and Oriol Junyent (Spanish first in the history of averaging double figures in rebounds: 10.5) for the memory.

Unfortunately that any change in a few months. In the 02-03 campaign team was not as effective as in the past and various changes in the team destabilized it further. The technician stopped in office and Sergio Valdeolmillos replaced him, inadequate measure despite the visible improvement in play and attitude. Yes, got their first victory before the official Adecco Estudiantes, but not permanence.

New challenge, then, in the LEB, with Sergio Valdeolmillos in the bank and Oriol Humet in the offices. Despite a track record with some ups and downs, the key-arrive at the best time to play-off was achieved, and once left by the wayside the UB La Palma, occurred the great grief of templates and hobbies (Granada - Zaragoza) whose denouement, in the crash tiebreaker again desencadenaba a joy throughout the city that with the passing of days and the new road CBA in sight has been transformed into a wealth of illusion.
