The league’s assist leader and its leading scorer share a backcourt. Why Carey and Battle fit so cleanly together: courtvision.co.uk/2026/01/16/d...

The Youth Pathway series looks to Europe, where different leagues have built structures to carry players through the hardest years of development: courtvision.co.uk/2026/01/13/h...

There’s only one ball. Sheffield’s offence is testing how many finishers a team can carry at the same time: courtvision.co.uk/2026/01/09/t...

Depth is an advantage in the SLB. In Europe, it’s the minimum. A breakdown of how London’s line-ups adapt across leagues: courtvision.co.uk/2026/01/02/l...

The Youth Pathway series continues with Victor Ndoukou, where time and structure mattered more than rushing the next step: courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/30/v...

A small change in the SLB rulebook has quietly shaped the quality of play this season. Here’s what removing back-to-backs actually changes: courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/26/a...

Zak Irvin was Manchester’s quiet constant to start the season. He returns now to a team that has started to click without him. Can he find his fit again? courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/19/c...

Newcastle opened the doors for a full day of basketball at the Vertu Motors Arena, from U12 games in the morning to the senior women at night: courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/16/o...

The Youth Pathway series heads to Edinburgh. Blaze show what’s possible when court access, coaching development and a real pathway all sit in the same place. courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/02/b...

A new page is live for the Youth Pathway series, a season-long look at how young players move from grassroots to the professional game. I'm really proud of the articles so far and can't wait to share what's coming next. courtvision.co.uk/youth-pathway/

Newcastle built their summer around size. What they’ve become is something different — small, fast, constantly shifting. Eight games, seven starting line-ups. courtvision.co.uk/2025/11/21/n...

The Youth Pathway series continues with a look at how basketball’s academies compare to rugby union and netball. courtvision.co.uk/2025/11/18/i...

Newcastle have one of the most distinct identities in the SLB. They switch, pressure and isolate. It doesn’t always click, but it always makes sense. courtvision.co.uk/2025/11/14/i...

Shooting is one skill that scales. The higher the level, the more it matters. Matthew Ragsdale plays like he knows it. courtvision.co.uk/2025/11/07/m...

College basketball isn’t just an American story anymore. NIL has redrawn the global map — and it’s starting to pull Europe’s next generation away from home. courtvision.co.uk/2025/11/04/e...

Manchester were denied entry to the Basketball Champions League by the BBF. They built for it anyway. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/31/b...

Pat Robinson plays one way — downhill. Cheshire have built a roster that lets him do it again and again and again. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/24/p...

At 19, Nedas Cholevinskas was the SLB’s youngest regular last season — and its most convincing argument for trusting youth. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/21/n...

Kevin Allen bends everything around him — but are Caledonia finding a version of him that brings everyone else in? courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/17/k...

London have built a team that doesn’t belong anywhere — too strong for the SLB, too weak for EuroCup. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/10/w...

This is the first piece in a season-long Youth Pathway series tracing how British basketball develops its players — from park courts to the professional game, and the forces that influence players along the way. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/07/t...

In Bristol, it’s not about who takes the shot — it’s that every player can. courtvision.co.uk/2025/10/03/b...

Seventeen years of Atiba Lyons. Nearly half the roster returning. Sheffield are doubling down on continuity in a league built on churn. courtvision.co.uk/2025/09/26/s...

The SLB tipped off its second season entangled in the very structures it hoped to escape — from recognition battles to referee appointments. courtvision.co.uk/2025/09/20/a...

Court Vision just got a makeover! The focus was on clearing out the clutter to make the site look better (especially for mobile) as well as updating the colour scheme to make everything easier to read: courtvision.co.uk

There wasn’t meant to be a league. But there was—barely, brilliantly, defiantly. The full story of the SLB's first season: courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/19/i...

No flash. No margin for error. Leicester won with fit, familiarity—and faith in Paternostro basketball. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/18/e...

The dynasty days are gone. The ambition never left. This year, Newcastle reminded us who they are. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/18/t...

Sheffield battled for rhythm early, but it was belief—raw and loud—that changed the game: courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/18/g...

It all comes down to Leicester vs Newcastle in the SLB Play-off Final. Two of British basketball’s most historic clubs, this season built on contrasting styles. A thread on what to watch for today:

A season built on control, not flash. London didn’t make a single knockout final but they still won the Championship. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/12/n...

They had the talent to win it all and the volatility to blow it. Sheffield’s season was brilliant, brittle and almost beautiful. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/11/a...

They’ve found identity on the court. Off it, Manchester are still searching for who they want to be. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/06/t...

Nedas Cholevinskas gave Surrey a moment that will last. But what comes after magic? courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/06/r...

750 seats. One lopsided schedule. No clear identity. Bristol's underdog era is starting to fray. courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/05/t...

No team lived closer to the edge than Cheshire. Fast pace, emotional swings, and a club still defined by community. Cheshire's season recap: courtvision.co.uk/2025/05/04/e...

Four coaches. One murder suspect. Bottom of the table. But the course has corrected and the Caledonia project continues: courtvision.co.uk/2025/04/28/o...

Had fun after @courtvision.bsky.social challenged me to make Mcr shot heat maps before and after the coaching change. Under Mandole they are now taking “analytically efficient” shots, almost all in the paint or from three-point-land.

+14.2 net rating since Mandole arrived. A coach who knows what he’s doing and a team that finally does too. courtvision.co.uk/2025/04/21/m...

205cm, 43% from three and 24 years old. Jacob Groves has the game every modern team wants: courtvision.co.uk/2025/04/16/j...

By joining together as a united voice, fans can send a clear message to the BBF to stop ignoring us and act in the best interest of the game. The movement has started. Thank you to the 50+ members who've signed up already. thebbfa.substack.com #BBFA #BritishBasketball

What a week for Caledonia as they take down Sheffield and Leicester and Surrey win twice as well. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the games and, apologies in advance, I had to invoke my James Joyce card for the licence discussions linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

It’s not about making the play-offs smaller. It’s about making the season matter. courtvision.co.uk/2025/04/07/t...

For NBA Europe to succeed, it needs to attract Europe's top clubs but will they like what is being offered? Part 3 of my series is live now. Read it here

In a league dominated by North American imports, Albert Ventura’s arrival from Spain shows what’s possible when SLB teams think differently. courtvision.co.uk/2025/04/01/a...

According to agent Tom Politi "Ben Thomas always knows exactly what he wants. If a player doesn’t fit, he won’t take them." Cheshire’s identity is clear. The question now is whether it still works? courtvision.co.uk/2025/03/28/c...

What do you do when you don’t have the best roster anymore? If you’re Božić, you build the best defence in the league: courtvision.co.uk/2025/03/22/l...
