Rotterdam Basketbal College is a Dutch professional basketball club based in Rotterdam. The team plays in the Dutch Basketball League and plays its home games at the Topsportcentrum next to De Kuip in Rotterdam.
History
Rotterdam Basketbal College started in 1954 under the name AMVJ Rotterdam.[1] The first sponsor of the club was Gunco in 1988, which was their first year in the highest Dutch league. They only lasted a year and demoted to a lower division. In 1991 they returned with sponsor De Schiestreek, followed by the Rotterdam firm Idetrading in 1995. After a sponsorless year, Gunco then again returned as title sponsor in 1999. Johan Haga has made possible following a restart. This created a new name, new look, new logo and a change in the player selection.[2] In 2002, the team took the name Rotterdam Basketbal, without sponsorname. In 2007 the team was renamed to Rotterdam Challengers, but in 2010 they again took the name Rotterdam Basketbal. Starting with the 2011-2012 season, the name was Rotterdam Basketbal College, to underline the importance of the youth in the team.
Despite being a team from a major Dutch city, Rotterdam has never won the Dutch championship, though they did win the Dutch cup in 1985.
