British Federation directors quit over row with home nations


(Reuters) - Seven British Basketball Federation (BBF) directors quit on Friday, a day after heads of the Home Country Associations (HCA) moved to remove regulatory powers of the governing body during a "hostile" meeting to discuss a new budget.

British basketball has struggled for funding in recent years and is dependent on government grants routed through UK Sport to help its teams to play matches.
