Coaching and player analysis is going to go to an incredible level over the next few years.

We've got this incredible feature on the BBC through the World Cup. For games the BBC cover, you can watch the games live (or back) in this 3D space, freely controlling the camera angle or viewing it in first person from any players' POV. Top for tactical insight. See here: 3d-bbc.co.uk/

This is brilliant. It wasn’t long ago that we could barely get 8 teams to play Super League.

Hard to argue with Mitchell as player of the year. Ciaran deserved it for what they achieved and how he coordinated. I think Tony Hehir was a great candidate too. Delighted for Ro who really established himself as a good SL player.

Absolutely deserved.
Not only did he score 17 but he scored them at critical times.

Ballincollig deserving double winners. A great example of what good coaching, great recruiting and the value of a solid supporting cast of Irish contributors can bring.
Ciaran deserves huge credit for conducting it all, and Adrian was the xfactor and deserving MVP.

Amazing for @meteorsbb to win their first super league title since the glory years of the late 80s and early 90s.
So fitting on a weekend the club celebrate 60 years, and after a horrible week of heartbreak after the death of Eamonn Prenter.

Helena Keane and Ais Moran combining for 19 was massive.
Brilliant for two great young talents.

Ahead of today's Domino's Women's Super League Final, a moments silence will take place in memory of Eamon Prenter, following his untimely passing last week.
Eamon is the father of Irish international Grace Prenter and a proud member of Meteors Basketball Club.
Everyone at Basketball Ireland extends their deep condolences to Eamon's family, friends and all those who knew him.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Congratulations to Limerick Celtics and Limerick Sport Eagles on both getting promoted to the Super League.
Nice to see Eagles back after a long time out, while Celtics are the only real threat to Killester as the top dual club men’s and women’s. Brilliant achievement.

22-year-old Jean Montero still has one year of NCAA eligibility remaining, and several teams have offered him lucrative contracts worth over $4 million per year to sign. Valencia Basket is looking to extend his contract, but the offers from the United States appear very tempting👀

Haven’t gone into the stats or anything yet, but I don’t think a team should have 3 players on the first team unless they dominate the regular season. Ballincollig are the best team but were only 1 game ahead of star and killester.
