Basket League is a founding member of ULEB.^[3] Basket League organizes the LBA, the Italian Cup, the Italian Supercup, and the Italian All Star Game. Discussions have been held as to the possibility of Basket League gaining more autonomy, similarly to that of the corresponding football organization, Lega Serie A.^[4] The current president of Basket League is Fernando Marino.^[5]
