2009–10 Lega Basket Serie A
Serie A FIP 2009–10 was 88th edition of Italian basketball top league.
Rules
Format
The participating 16 teams disputed the regular season based on home-and-away matches. At the end of regular season, the highest ranked 8 teams were admitted into play-off, with the lowest two ranked teams being relegated to LegADue
Squad rules
Every team was allowed to present in its roster up to 6 athletes that haven't been "formed" in Italy (of which at least 3 have to be citizens of European Union[1]), out of total 12 players in squad.
Participating teams
The newcomers, compared to 2008–09 Serie A, were Cimberio Varese, returning to Serie A after one season in LegADue, and Vanoli Cremona, created by unification of Vanoli Soresina (promoted to Serie A through playoff) with Juvi Basket Cremona (that ceded the title of Serie A Dilettanti to Basket Brescia Leonessa). Another change was reallocation of NSB Napoli to PalaBarbuto in Napoli. On 13 April NSB Napoli was excluded from the league.[2] Results of matches already played against the team were discarded.[3]
