NBL commissioner Jeremy Loeliger steps down

Jeremy Loeliger has stepped down as NBL commissioner after a decade in the basketball league’s upper management.

Loeliger made his decision to transition away from the role some 18 months ago but stayed on in a part-time capacity last season to help David Stevenson acclimatise to his position as the league’s new chief executive.

He officially finished duties as commissioner on June 30, with the league announcing news of his departure on Friday afternoon.

Loeliger has already begun work as a freelance consultant in the sports and media sector, including with the NBL in a part-time capacity.

Loeliger was appointed NBL chief executive in 2015 and helped turn the then financially-struggling league into one of Australia’s fastest growing sporting properties alongside owner Larry Kestelman.

After becoming commissioner in 2019, Loeliger was mastermind of the Next Stars program, which recruits elite young players to the NBL to help them prepare to nominate for the NBA draft.

LaMelo Ball, Josh Giddey, Alex Sarr, Ousmane Dieng and RJ Hampton have all been taken with first-round picks after coming through the program.

In his time with the league, Loeliger also helped organise the NBL’s China tours and the NBLxNBA pre-season games, for which *********** clubs travel to America to face NBA counterparts.

“Jeremy has been instrumental in the unprecedented growth of the league,” said Stevenson.”His strong strategic foresight helped us flourish into one of the best entertainment products and the fastest growing sport in Australia.”
