Stefan Pettersson from Sweden is the new face in NF1 basketball Benoît Badet has taken Colomiers from NF3 to NF1 basketball in the last five seasons. But unfortunately the results this season have not been as good as expected and he has been replaced as head coach. The man in charge until the end of the season is Stefan Pettersson, (left) who is a 37-year old Swedish person. If Colomiers escape relegation, then he will be offered a new contract. On the basketball court Colomiers won their first game for 2009 after a closely fought encounter with Strasbourg ABC (74-70). This victory moves them off the bottom of the table.
Armentières also had a good road victory (89-45) against the CFBB to stay in joint second place. Illkirch-Graffenstaden gave Toulouse a master class as they won easily (80-57) in front of a capacity ground. The SIG had four players in double digits. The pair Schmitt-Sender and Vernerey finished with double-doubles. However it was Darline Nsoki who scored 15 points and had 11 rebounds that turned the match in the favour of the SIG. With the game won Lucie Battaglia who is a pure product from the club fired in a shot from down-town at the end of the game. The SIG remain in joint second place.
