Rinascita Basket Rimini

On April 8, 1984, the team was promoted to Serie A1, the top tier of the Italian league system, where it played for the next three years, reaching the quarter-finals in 1985.

Part of that roster featured young players who won the national junior title in 1989, including Carlton Myers, who would later be Italy's flag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

In 2011, the Crabs were unable to participate in the upcoming Legadue due to debts and instead found a place in the fourth division (DNB) with the intervention of Luciano Capicchioni, who had previously owned the team.

As a result, a new organization named Rinascita Basket Rimini (RBR) was established in the summer as a counter to the Crabs, who, as previously mentioned, ended their first team’s operations.
