* On 9 April 1983, Šibenka and Bosna played the final game that was decided in the last second: Bosna's Sabit Hadžić fouled Šibenka's Dražen Petrović, who proceeded to score two free throws that won the game. The next morning, the presidency of the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia voided the result and ordered a rematch in Novi Sad. Šibenka decided to boycott it, and the title was awarded to Bosna.
