Maccabi Haifa Basketball Club (Hebrew: מכבי חיפה‎), for sponsorship reasons Maccabi Hunter Haifa, is a professional Israeli basketball club that belongs to the Maccabi Haifa association. They play in Liga Leumit, the second division of Israeli basketball. The club won their first championship in 2013, beating perennial champions Maccabi Tel Aviv in the final game.

History

Maccabi Haifa is one of the oldest basketball teams in Israel and is one of the original eight teams that formed the top division in 1953.[1] In 1971 and 1985, the club qualified for the State Cup finals losing to Maccabi Tel Aviv in both years.

The club was relegated to the second division in 1993, and dropped into the third tier in 1995. They returned to the top tier, Ligat HaAl, in 1999. Despite their recent success, in 2000, Haifa mayor Amram Mitzna merged the club with Hapoel Haifa to form BC Haifa.[1]

Although the club qualified for the playoffs twice, they began to experience financial difficulties. Upon relegation the club folded and sold its rights to Bnei HaSharon. In 2004 Maccabi Haifa officials changed the name of the second team under its control, Maccabi Bat Galim, to Maccabi Haifa in an effort to restore the club's glory days.[2]

The following season, the club was promoted to the northern division. In 2007 they were promoted to Liga Leumit under the leadership of the coach Tobi Slilat. After the club was promoted, Avi Ashkenazi (who had coached the team in 1995) was reappointed.

Individual games

When Jeffrey Rosen acquired Maccabi Haifa, he felt that his best approach at gaining financial strength for the team as well as the league, was to try and expand viewership beyond Israel. In addition, their TV show Inside Israeli Basketball, Maccabi Haifa began to show taped delayed games online at triangleinternet.tv as well as YouTube.[17]

Inside Israeli Basketball

Maccabi Haifa produces an internationally broadcast television show called Inside Israeli Basketball. The show premiered on 17 August 2010.[18]

The show has seven episodes per season and airs November to June, with one new episode per month. The show follows the Maccabi Haifa's season, and shows highlights from each of their games. The program is hosted by Yarden Harel and was formally hosted by Becky Griffin, and produced on location by Joseph Marc Sports.[19] Due to the broadcasting in America, the show focuses on the American players playing in Israel.[20]

The show is currently syndicated on the YES Network, Sun Sports, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, The Comcast Network, and SportSouth.[21]
